We think skydiving is the greatest thing in the world. And we hope you’ll agree! Here are 5 things we think you’ll love about skydiving.
1) SKYDIVING MAKES YOU REALLY HAPPY!
One of the best things about skydiving is that it makes you really happy!
Jumping out of an airplane is an amazing experience. The wind in your face. With so much happening and so much adrenaline rushing through your system that kick starts the production of serotonin – that’s our body’s ‘happy’ hormone. You’ll find yourself smiling all day long after your skydive.
2) YOU’LL FEEL WHAT IT’S LIKE TO REALLY FLY
Something people don’t often realise before they jump is the amount of control we have over our bodies and our movements in freefall. We can turn, move back and forward, fly over and under one another and propel ourselves across the sky using the basic principles of aerodynamics.
3) YOU’LL SEE THE WORLD FROM A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE
Another thing you’ll love about skydiving is the unique views we get from 10,000 feet up, especially such an amazing birds eye view. It’s one thing to see the ground from a commercial aircraft through those tiny round windows and its so different to see as you rush down due to gravity towards the land!
Our unique perspective are people who’ve skydived with us – which, when you think about, it’s very cool indeed!
4) YOU’LL LOVE SKYDIVING EVEN MORE
Skydiving is one of those sports that attracts a whole variety of different people. We all come from different backgrounds, different jobs, different places, with one purpose; to jump!
It’s a sport that blurs our differences so they simply don’t matter anymore. You’ll find a cross section of society at the drop zone; people of 20 years old jump with people of 60 years old and the generation gap just isn’t a ‘thing’. It doesn’t matter where you’re from, what you do, how much you earn… in skydiving, it’s just about having an amazing time with amazing people.
It’s a community that spans the globe. The USPA (United States Parachute Association) has thousands of members who regularly skydive across the US. Then there are skydiving centers and parachute associations all across the world, and you’ll be welcomed wholeheartedly to every single one of them if you wish.
5) IT’S INCREDIBLY EMPOWERING
When you skydive, it’s likely you’ve overcoming personal challenges. Perhaps you’re a bit scared before you do it. Perhaps you’re nervous of the unknown. Maybe you’re totally hyped about your jump and your biggest challenge is staying calm!
Whatever your reasons for jumping or the challenges you overcome on your way, skydiving is incredibly empowering. When you think back on what you’ve done, and when you consider that only a small proportion of the population have done it, you’ll feel like you can do anything you set your mind to.
