I do 
I'm at 18 jumps now, did static line progression, then, rather than do practice and testing for my licence, I opted rather to just jump for fun. So I could have had my licence a long time ago, but I spent too much time screwing around and geeking the camera. Luckily, the DZ I learned at was totally chill about stuff, and super small, and I knew the guys, so they didn't care that I didn't have the papers, they were fine with me going up and doing RW, and at jump 15, I jumped a bell jet ranger (heli) at 9k. _That_ is a sweet feeling, cuz from a heli, you have no forward speed, like in a cessna, so it's like falling off a building, until you gather enough speed to work with.
