For me skydiving is one of the most amazing sports in the world. There isn't just one reason why I do this extreme sport. But in short:

  • The sport is a great leveller of people. You get to meet with and become friends of people from all walks of life, educated, uneducated, bricklayers, layers, posh, not-so-posh. When we skydive, there is no class divide.
  • The human body was never designed to fall. So in freefall it gives you a small glimpse into what it must be like to be a bird. Flight put simply, is a beautiful thing.
  • You get the opportunity to combine many skills - the ability to think fast, to work in a team, to compete, to communicate in freefall, to navigate and to bend air forcing you to change direction or orientation quickly.
  • There are many dropzones, competitions and events which are held around the world. So you get the chance to travel and experience the world from a different perspective.

I jump at a dropzone called Skydive Hibaldstow located near to York, UK. There, they jump from 15000ft. From that height you can see all the way to the coast some 20 miles away. It makes for a beautiful view which in turns makes the sky diving experience even better.
