From watching a few of your videos it seems like you've really mastered the freefalling through the first checkpoint technique. Although I'm pretty good at parachuting and usually win if I'm up against other players that is something I never mastered myself. Can I ask roughly how many perfect landings you have in total (you can check on social club)? I know it will be a hassle for you ton find out as it would be spread over all six characters for you but I'd be interested in a rough figure just to see if you have more or less than myself.

I'm not finding a perfect landing stat, but all 6 characters have the "Stayed on Target" platinium award. Mastering freefalling is good for winning, since it helps you get the extra 5 points for landing first, assuming all players get 15 points on each checkpoint.

The perfect landing stat is displayed next to the pie chart graph on social club. The graph will show you wins and losses and then next to it there will be an additional stat which in the case of parachuting is perfect landings. For other things this extra stat is different as for racing for example I think it is total racetime and for tennis it is number of aces.

In general, I try to play a parachute jump with competitors whenever I get a "Parachute Jump", "Parachute from height" and "Fall from Height" daily objective, and back in the old days when they gave 2xGTA$ for parachute jumps for event weeks.

Okay thanks for checking. Although the win loss records are shared between the two characters on one account the perfect landings are actually separate I believe so Winston would have a different number of perfect landings than Bertha would for example. So with that in mind you'll actually have more perfect landings than stated here. Very good win loss records though for all three accounts.

The guy who came in 2nd place lost 5 for a faceplant, and 5 for coming in 2nd.

Desert: 270
Here is what I think should have been a maximum points jump for Desert but for some reason I didn't receive the extra 15 points for a perfect landing (which I assume is landing in the center circle). I've noticed quite a lot that I don't get the perfect landing 15 points added when I parachute. Mainly I notice it while playing solo. I'm in the process of trying to figure out if it is random issue or if it only occurs on certain jumps. I know it happens to me on Jump Wings quite a lot. In any case one interesting thing about this video is that there is one guy that is free falling through all of the checkpoints and managing to collect a good points tally as well as I have maximum points from the checkpoints but he is ahead of me for a time but he must screw it up towards the end as he gets a DNF I think.

Reservoir: 120 (max points)
I managed to put a shark to the sword in this one as one of my opponents had a better record than myself.

Just a heads up in that there seems to be a bug going around with parachuting at the moment where if you win some of the time you don't actually do the celebration at the end despite being declared the winner seconds before by seeing the "finished 1st" screen. I tend to win the majority of my jumps and this is happening with about 50% of my wins but thankfully it isn't actually carrying over to the win/loss record so wins and losses are still being recorded there as they should be.
