skreamer 1 #51 December 31, 2002 Quote Highlights include my first freefall kiss with Jessica Wow, I'm jealous - hopefully soon I get my turn. (hope Jess doesn't get jealous.... ) I made 190 jumps this year, but pretty much broke the bank on about 52 coached 2-way freefly dives. Unfortunately my freeflying skills are still not very good.. (still, if keep trying next year I am sure I will improve!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve1 5 #52 December 31, 2002 Probably about 70. I need to move to a warmer local. I haven't jumped since October and it's driving me crazy. I'd love to get in the air again...sniff...sniff...(Steve1 The Winer) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

airgord 1 #54 January 1, 2003 Difficult, well if you call barely making rent and almost keeping food on the table with some reliability difficult, yes I would say it is. However if having probably the coolest job on the planet next to maybe an astronaut's I would then say no it is not difficult. On the other hand getting my big fat pilotchute into that little bitty BOC pocket is difficult, when I'm tired, after a long day, of ten jumps, with my really great teammates. I uh pretty much love this sport. Happy New Year Max, we might see you over there in Elsinore soon. Gordo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billdo 0 #56 January 1, 2003 Started the year with 48 jumps and some Skydive U coaching. Finishing the year with 515 jumps and some 60-ways. Total for 2002 = 467 Recently bought my second new rig (downsized right out of the first), have also accumulated a helmet, pro-track, two jumpsuits, and various other accoutraments. Total spent about $17,000. I had to start my own business working as a male escort to afford it all, but my life has done a 180 since starting this kick-ass sport! Happy Fucking New Year!

sunshine 2 #57 January 1, 2003 I've made approx. 350 jumps this year. I just hit my 500th jump yesterday while here in Eloy. It was an 11way hybrid with a bunch of dz.commers that was way fun. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug!

Gawain 0 #61 January 2, 2003 Happy New Year to you too Gordo... I'm sure we'll see each other during the SSL circuit this coming year, if I can make a couple pick-up teams. Hopefully I'll make a trip out your way soon.

dkearns 0 #63 January 2, 2003 25 jumps between Feb 22 and Mar 4. (Course they were in Australia and I think it's the greatest place in the world) It was the only time off I've had the entire year. I have 30 days off starting tomorrow though and will be in FL and TX jumping my ass off. See you all there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deaffreeflyer 0 #64 January 2, 2003 180 jumps this year - could do a lot more if I don't have £2500 in debt. At least I paid it off! No jumps in October (due to debt) and only did one jump on 2th Nov. Then I haven't see blue skies since 2th Nov. Hope I will do at least 200 jumps, a 3 weeks trip to Perris in Sept for Deaf World Record and a brand new rig in new year 2003. But who knows cos I'm about to date a lovely girl - wish me good luck!
