Congrats! Did you post any pie pictures from your 100th????

It's an interesting distribution. Very standardized bell curve. Could we suppose that the ends are low because 1.) new jumpers don't know about this website and the wealth of information here? and 2.) the 'old-timers' spend thier time other places, and/or there are fewer old-timers becasue they have left the sport.

I know a fair number of jumpers who have hit the 500-1000 and a bit level who then say, well, I've done that, time to move on.

Is there a master's thesis in here somewhere?

I don't know if we should read too much into the distribution, because the ranges I used were relatively arbitrary. I suspect that the distribution is an acknoledgement that I picked good ranges... that's all.

I do suspect that the low end is small because jumpers will bein the real skydiving community for a bit before they find this website. I suspect that the high end is small because people with thousands of skydives are either a: old farts who don't use pooters, or b: profesional dz bums who don't HAVE a pooter

I hope the poll stays around a while. I'd like to see a larger sample size.

I didn't post any but QueenBee has a pretty good one floating around somewhere!
Actually, when you come down for the AOTMB you'll have to watch out for her. She's dangerous with that camera!;)
