180 something jumps, 1 cutaway so far. (As Jonas says, 180 isn't as much as it sounds)
My first jump was at age 16 (forged parents signature on the release form) because I was scared of heights and wondered if I could do the whole 'moment of truth' thingee. (began rockclimbing for similar reasons)
Loved it. The grin on my face threatened to have the top of my head falling off.
Jumped with the NZ and British military, mainly static lines (46 from memory) but waddling out of a C130 with a Bergen swinging between your legs like a dark green scrotum isn't as much fun as civvie jumps.
Some mates are trying to talk me into BASE jumping now, which is tempting, but I haven't been suckered in yet. Any BASE jumpers here?
I'm also one of the feew people who will fly planes AND jump out of them. Pilots and Jumpers are almost mutually exclusive. (Pilots who will jump voluntarily I mean, ejections don't count)

Duct tape is just like the Force - it has a light side and a dark side, and holds the Universe together.
