 Ever
dreamt of flying? No need to dream anymore.... Learn to Skydive...
These
words will be burned into your cranium.... 'Are you
ready to Skydive?'
Say
that sentence to any skydiver and he or she will give you a wry
smile and tell you of their first jump... and how their life was
never the same again after they entered the exteme world of skydiving.
 Whether
it is a Tandem jump; where
you can be in the air and jumping out of a plane strapped to an
instructor, skydiving, quicker than you can say 'I'm not sure....'.
Or
perhaps an Accelerated Freefall Course;
where on your first skydive you leap out of a plane at 14,000
feet yourself, quickly followed by two highly experienced skydiving
instructors and a camera man. Whatever your choice for skydiving
ESC has all the knowledge, equipment, skills and people to change
your life, forever...
Hey!
What about an Introduction to Free
Fall (IFF)? Do a Tandem Skydive,
followed by the training and first jump for your Accelerated
Freefall Course. If you like it... carry on and do your AFF.
Or
perhaps you have already done a Tandem Skydive and want to push
the envelope that little bit more...
Oh,
by the way - remember you're accompanied by a camera man... just
so you can relive the rush of all your skydives & share the
120mph ride with your friends!
Get
in touch now... and live your dream.
Further
skydive training, up to competition level, is available ... you
only have to ask. |

From
the Author
Parachuting / Skydiving is continuously growing & evolving.
Dan Poynter and I have attempted to bring to you, the reader
(novice or experienced), the latest information available which
covers many aspects of the sport. It is our hope that this book
will be used by you as a tool to increase your learning about
the sport. We have addressed several training and controversial
issues openly and honestly, attempting to give full merit to
both (or more) viewpoints when more than one right answer is
available. This book is a "living document" and will
continue to change as the sport changes and grows. Each successive
issue (from the very first one that I used to study the sport
over 21 years ago) has been written with that philosophy in mind;
one of continuous improvement.
We hope you like the book, and if you can think of anything else
to add, please feel free to contact one of us with your suggestions!
Blue, Clear, and Calm Skies to y'all.

British Parachute Association
BPA
- British Parachute Association
The
British Parachute Association was founded in 1962
to organise, govern and further the advancement
of Sport
Parachuting within
the UK. The Association’s aim today is to encourage
participation and promote excellence at all levels of
skydiving from novice to world class competitor. Its
success is such
that today there are around 35 affiliated parachute clubs
throughout the country and a membership of more than
30,000. The Association is funded by membership subscriptions,
shop sales and Sports Council grants and has an annually
elected
council of 15 full members which controls all aspects
of
skydiving on behalf of the Civil Aviation Authority.
Unlike many other sports which suffer from fragmented and divided governing bodies,
the British Parachute Association represents most UK skydivers and the majority
of skydivers within the UK are members of the Association. The control of the
sport including safety, training, competitions, finance and development is administered
by the full-time officers of the Association who include a National Coach and
Safety Officer, a Technical Officer, Secretary-General and administrative staff.
The British Parachute Association is represented on the Council of the Royal
Aero Club, the Federation Aeronautique Internationale and the Commission Internationale
de Parachutisme.
