Cornholio 0 #1 April 12, 2002 What or who is an upjumper ? I have hear this term thrown around - like "this dz has more upjumpers than this dz....this dz has more FFers than this dz..." I know what a FF is... But what the heck is an upjumper ? __________________________________________If first you don't succeed....skydiving is not for you.

Cornholio 0 #5 April 12, 2002 aha!Thanks for the answer. So why is the term thrown around so often ? Is it preferable to jump at a DZ with more up jumpers ? __________________________________________If first you don't succeed....skydiving is not for you.

Sebazz1 2 #7 April 12, 2002 QuoteIs it preferable to jump at a DZ with more up jumpersYeah but for several reasons.More jumpers keeps the plane running, people to jump with, more beer at the end of the day, and better chances of getting laid.SEBAZZ.......

quade 4 #15 April 12, 2002 It should be noted that in some places the term "up jumper" refers to folks that actually have their act together and not simply off student status.Ya might not wanna call 'em skygods, experts or any of the other terms that have funky connotations, so "up jumper" is sometimes used. Maybe it's just a regional thing out on the west coast though.quadehttp://futurecam.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
