Has skydiving become a sport today?
Skydiving became a sport over 50 years ago once competitions came into being. The first parachuting competitions were run around the 1950's and were accuracy based. When freefall skydiving began, there were even low pull contests, but fortunately these no longer exist. Today there are World Championships in formation skydiving, freefly, vertical formation skydiving, etc. There are professional teams, competitors, judges and scoring systems. In fact the first World Parachuting Championships took place in 1951 and were held in Yugoslavia. Sadly skydiving has not made it to the same leagues as golf or footable as a spectator sport, however it is a popular one with many thousands of regular jumpers around the world. The starting step to becoming a competitor is to take a basic course such as AFF (Accelerated Freefall). A good place to do this is Skydive Hibaldstow which also hosts the UK National Championships every year. After completing your course, you will make friends and learn how to skydive with them, hiring coaches and entering the low ranked competitions.
