LawnDart21 0 #1 June 13, 2002 Well despite the nasty weather we've been having up here in Boston recently, I was finally able to break 500 jumps this weekend. We finally had a perfect weatehr day on Saturday and after borrowing a rig for the day to do back to back loads for aff cert practice, I ended the day with 12 jumps, 3 away from 500. Sunday started with some rain (no surpise up here these days), but the sky cleared around 11:00am and a few jumps later, I hit 500 and then ended the day with jump number 501. I could have sworn that 500 jumps was not a pie-able offense, but apparently my DZ has no ruling, as I was pie'd unmercifully at the end of the day.501 jumps in 22 months of fun jumping, I am exhausted and broke..........lol"I live to EFS"Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LawnDart21 0 #4 June 13, 2002 well, I did a tandem June 19th,1999 and according to USPA (I called them awhile back) that counts towards my three years in the sport (necessarly to get a tandem rating). I am taking the AFF cert course next month, and if God willing, I pass, the course will end on my 2 year anniversary of sport jumping. so that is the immediate goal. Then in august I will persue a tandem rating. Then spend two weeks this winter in PA with Dave DeWolfe to get my rigger's ticket, and then I'll (hopefully) have all the rating I set out for on my goals list."I live to EFS"Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
