The first time I heard about hypoxia was at Skydiving Perris. We were in a famous belly event called P3. That time we were jumping with Dan BC, Kick Verner, Tom Jenkins, and another 25 people. To make that formation easier accomplished, we were exiting the airplanes above 16.000 feet. We did a few jumps, and for every jump, we had one person flying around. Tom Jenkins started to pay attention to all jumpers, and the one that got lost a few times were taking his oxygen off and moving a lot during the climb up. Friday Freakout: Skydiver Passes Out From Hypoxia In Freefall When we landed, Tom Je ..read more

Hi, my name is Augusto, and I’m an addict and a Skydiving Supporting Sobriety group member. Since I found out I have issues controlling the use of alcohol and drugs, my life has changed. I stopped seeing some people and going to some places, I started focusing more on sports and learning what I don’t like to find out what I love the most, and I decided to concentrate on my issues before trying to help others. “Just knowing are other skydivers out there in recovery makes me feel less alone going out to DZ’s.” Anonymous I tried to quit drugs and alcohol for the first time in 2008. However, I re ..read more

Everyone knows that skydiving is a niche sport. However, we can find skydiving enthusiasts everywhere in the world. Even though only a tiny part of the population has the guts to jump off a perfect airplane, the part that does have the balls is evolving a lot more since the wind tunnels have become more available outside the USA and Europe. The people who have had the opportunity to travel to those places brought back home enough knowledge to start their own skills camps and share it with jumpers with less experience or with the ones who haven’t had the chance to travel to a try-out camp or si ..read more

From time to time, I like to speak about the skydiving gear I’m using because skydive equipment evolves fast, and more ordinary people are getting into skydiving in our community. But, unfortunately, it was pretty hard for me to understand what equipment I needed to skydive and find information about it when I began skydiving. We have many brands and different gear to choose to skydive. When comparing skydiving equipment back in the day and today, we see how much our sport evolved in safety, innovation, and quality.

I’m not saying that GoPro Hero 10 is not good action camera for a skydiving debrief, but GoPro Max is a very nice tool to have while coaching. We can rotate the camera view in a 360-degree angle. It means that student and skydiving coach can see almost everything around them. GoPro Max The second-generation 360 camera from GoPro is a lot more friendly than the first edition. The Max is much easier to use than the GoPro Fusion. On top of that, we only need to have one SD Card and the software edition tool is a lot better now. GoPro Max costs a little bit more than a regular GoPro but it is wort ..read more
