Can you think of a better way to take in such a beautiful view?

Swooping. Going The Distance…

Category: PersonalChrisM @ 12:10 am

There are several different types of swooping competitions, and one of the biggest events involves distance. While there are several ways to determine the length of a swoop, most competitions find it easier to do this event over a lake or pond of some sort. As a result, the swooping distance is measured from the point where the swooper’s feet first hit the lake until the moment when they finally land.

Like any distance sport, more and more swoopers will end up breaking the distance record. This is especially likely in a sport like swooping when the equipment can have such a large effect on whether or not it is possible to swoop for long distances….

Tips For Those Starting SkyDiving

Category: PersonalChrisM @ 3:47 am

You should never wear clothes that will limit your movement, nor sandals or open toed shoes.

You can wear your glasses or contacts lenses, as the goggles you will be provided with will fit over them with no problem.

Discuss every aspect of this sport with other experienced skydivers and you will grow in knowledge, you will develop your skills and at the same time you will be more secure of yourself.
