AggieDave 6 #1 March 18, 2005 I round the numbers I have in my profile. When I had about 1370 jumps I just put 1400 jumps since 30 jumps really doesn't make much of a difference overall and now I have 1443 jumps (as of the 5 jumps I did today) and I started to wonder...when should I put 1450 or should I continue to leave it until 1500 (which I should have in under 2 weeks according to my normal jump tempo and the tandem schedule)? When do you update your DZ.com profile jump numbers? Every 50 jumps? every 100 jumps? every 200 jumps?--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

IanHarrop 42 #4 March 18, 2005 I think you need to be punished for having dealt with these numbers so liberally in the past and now should have to update them one-at-a-time. So start incrementing the numbers by 1"Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanuckInUSA 0 #5 March 18, 2005 To each their own. I can understand why a tandem whipping boy like yourself doesn't keep his DZ.COM numbers up to date because you guys can get a lot of jumps in, in a short period of time. But I always update my DZ.COM profile after a certain day, weekend or week of jumping (whenever it is convienient). So when I say that I've made 879 skydives, you'll know that I've done 879 skydives. But I do add my skydives and BASE jumps into a total and will tell people that I've made over {insert a number here} jumps. In fact I may not have made my 900th skydive yet. But I did jump a cross-braced canopy for the first time on my 900th jump. Of course I have 5 skydives from last weekend and another 5 BASE jumps from the weekend before which still need to be logged on paper before I forget what happened on those jumps.

happythoughts 0 #6 March 18, 2005 Doesn't matter much to me unless it is some bonehead number that a troll makes up. An update every 6 months is good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites AggieDave 6 #7 March 18, 2005 What the deal is, is that I'm a TI and so I do a lot of tandems and a shitload of hop and pops. Why? I LOVE doing tandems and they pay the bills (barely and not all the way every month but that still means I'm jumping) and hop&pops are cheap and all I care to do if I don't get to do a tandem is go swoop. Eitherway over the past year the ratio of tandems to sport jumps has definately favored tandems. Lucky for me that I fucking live for doing tandems and getting to take a student on a tandem jump makes my day.(I'm serious, I freak'n love tandems).--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Tonto 1 #15 March 18, 2005 I never round up. Thin as the margin may be, I don't want people to think I'm padding my numbers. When chatting to students, or when asked, I'll always round down to the last 50. So, at 4533, I'll say 4500. when I'm on 4580, it'll be 4550. On this site, since I'm here so often, and have so much time.. I do it every 10 jumps, for both my total and my wingsuit dives. I've done this since the "numbers only" rule prevented me from putting a "+" in. Back then it was every 100 that I updated. For number of swoops - every 100 dives I add another 100 swoops. All the canopies I jump are swoopable, and if conditions are not swoopable, I don't jump. tIt's the year of the Pig.
