I did a search and couldn't find anything...

Recently saw an article where Miles was stated as having the most jumps. Is that accurate? Some of the Euro's have to be getting up there...

Who has more than 3000 jumps?

your mom

I heard there is a french guy who has over 3 grand,

Then its
dude man bro

then 2 aussies

miles does he might be dude man bro
chuma is probably close too

I have no life

But apparently big collection of punchline pictures :)

I vote for your mom too. Just remember, you can only log a total of 100 off the perrine in the lifetime

you guys are right, my mom is pretty bad ass. I think she must have over 10,000 jumps by now.


Yes, there should be an official rule about how many perrine jumps count to your total.

I thought the only official rule was don't die.

Sorry to burst your bubble but I'm about 6 away from 1k. so I dont think I'm in the running. Tho I've never been to idaho or europe so that means my true number is like a billion.

Thats BASE jumping. We are talking about how many jumps you have...

People who never weigh themselves almost
always under-estimate their weight....

People who do not use some method to keep
track of their jump data (logbook, spreadsheet,
journal, video files) usually over-estimate...

IMHO, Maurizio di Palma (Italy), 10 years jumping, like 28xx jumps. Miles has heaps of unpacked jumps....

Ronald

I don't know if Gary C logs his jumps any more, but he must be up there.

No, I don't jump much throughout the year but I should reach 2500 later this week.

I imagine there would be quite a few people with over 2000 BASE jumps now.

Way more people with 2000 jumps than there are with 200 objects i bet

OMG.. you are soooooo right! i just want to be skinny.

When you are dead I will still not be logging.

Sorry if that was harsher than it should have been. A lot of people do not log. There are many people who could have a B.A.S.E number and choose not to. I was not implying harm to you. Enjoy, that is what matters.

Completing 1,000 BASE jumps is VERY impressive!!
But if you do not log, then how do you know you
are only 6 away from 1,000 BASE jumps??

I do not know who you are... the weight comment
was referring to my many tandem passengers who
tell me they weigh X when ~80% are obviously a
good 20+ pounds more than whatever they say.

Ill be happy when I have more jumps than lbs to my name:(

How many people have a thousand or more illegal BASE jumps?

I came up with that rule 14 years ago, but I called it 50 jumps. People were really starting to spray jump numbers and they were just a shitload of Perrines. I 1st jumped the Perrine a couple days after my 1st building and HEAPS of Moab. I was walking out to the middle of that thing and laughed. It's a good learning object...

Another penis-measuring game in the BJ.com forums...go figure.

Get a life

How many times can you count the same object? 3000 jumps with 10 objects.. sounds like a skydiver...

Well, while it definitely takes more time and energy, etc...to jump a ton of objects, a base jump is a base jump. A building in NYC would be a ton more valuable to me than a perrine jump, but they are both jumps. Who cares if you are having fun anyway? Then you could have the argument of legal jumps counting less than illegal jumps, and then someone from an area with techy legal cliffs will argue that one too.

i agree, jumps are jumps and if they all end well then they were probably a lot of fun.

that being said, i give a lot more weight to the number of objects someone has jumped over just numbers in general. many objects of varying degrees of difficulty provide a better overall sense of experience and skill.

i'm just stoked to still be alive to see so many friends killing the thousand mark, when back when i started 200 was considered to be a big number!

Whoa there, jumping the gun a bit? Kind of harsh don't you think? You just turned a light hearted discussion negative. What do you have to prove?

I was just curious who had a lot of jumps. It doesn't have to be about the ego to wonder about jump numbers.

dude i'm sorry that you're tandumb log book has more signings than print out's from manifest. we all have a cross to bear.

I quit getting signatures once I had 200 jumps
because that is when I got my D license.

I quit using a logbook once I had 1,000 jumps
logged because of the time it takes, cost of the
books, hassle, etc.

I have all 3,925 in an Excel spreadsheet with
a seperate one for BASE that has even more
info for each jump (PC, heading, delay, etc.)

I keep track of SKY stuff for taxes, I keep the
BASE data to improve my chances of survival.

I think the jumps\object ratio should be around 4 to 1

4 x 41 = 164 which is 1 jump more than your 163

It's 4X45, which is 14 more than my 166
