Nutz 0 #1 October 14, 2003 Sunday, it was lunchtime so I thought I would log my three jumps of the morning and then eat and jump some more. I can't remember what I did on the first jump. I wasn't hung over or anything, I just can't remember. I was wondering if this happens to anyone else. (How can I jump out of an airplane and not remember what I did?) "Whatever you say Johnny."

towerrat 0 #2 October 14, 2003 It happens if I don't log for a few weeks. I'll keep a running total in my head but I only remember the best jumps. --------------------Play stupid games, win stupid prizes! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lazyfrog 0 #3 October 14, 2003 same as towerrat, only if I don't log them for a few weeks... but my pro track gives me the speeds, so I can more or less remember what kind of jumps it was, and as I nearly always have the VDO, I can see what happened to me ---------- Fumer tue, péter pue ------------- ourson #10, Mosquito Uno, CBT 579 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydivegirl 0 #4 October 14, 2003 Because it was a $99 boogie.. that's how. Don't worry Chris, you're not the only one. I know what jumps I made but I can't remember what order I made them... lol. Ask some peeps at the dz.Pink Mafia Sis #26 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 273 #5 October 14, 2003 That's why I try to log after each jump. If I do more than two I'll forget exactly what we did on the first one every time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mccurley 1 #10 October 14, 2003 I figure about 300 I never logged for one reason or another, to busy, to lazy, jump was just a H&P,etc. Now that my active jumping days are behind I regret not being more dilligent. Sometimes I can look back on my log book to a jump done in 75 or 80 or whatever and recall it, if it was a good one, as if it were yesterday. Guess it would have paid to write even a short entry after each one.Watch my video Fat Women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWkEky8GoI Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkwing 5 #11 October 14, 2003 I try to log after every jump. One of the best skydiving things I ever did was log my jumps. After 30 years it gets very interesting to go over old log books. You can never write too much about a jump. It is hard to know what will be significant to you 20 years from now. My website is the result of a recent decision to go over all of my logbooks, and summarize some interesting facts. It also brought back some wonderful memories. -- Jeff My Skydiving History Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hell, I haven't logged anything in the past 6 weeks or so(and we're talking close to 50 jumps). I can tell by the speeds on the protrack what type of jump it was, and that's all I really care about. Quite honestly, I've failed to log a couple hundred jumps over the years....and have essentially lost them.
