Posted by: profpat / Category: Skydiving/parachutingBecause Skydiving and Parachuting are now considered more of a sport than just a recreational activity, there are several disciplines that call for both recreational and competitive events. Among the other disciplines are formation skydiving, sky surfing, free fall skydiving, paraski, canopy formation and BASE skydiving.
In order to see what the Best of Skydiving teams doing their stuff, I have included a video in this post. Just watching this video gives me a rush. I can feel the excitement. It is easy to understand why people do this. Wow!
Of course, let me caution you. Before any jump, you must make sure that you have the proper equipment and training that you need. Examine your gear. Check them for any problems. Sometimes trained riggers do the packing of the parachute. Most people pack a second chute as back-up in case the main chute fails to open.
You must also learn the sport well. Look for skydiving facilities in your area and ask a trainer to teach you. You can join a skydiving club or organization in your area. You can also look at some listings of professional skydivers and see if anyone can train you.
Enjoy the video!
