I deal with
a lot of injuries and problems on a regular basis at the drop zone on a weekend
and although not all of them can be avoided, some of them can be prevented or
managed through the use of a regular stretching regime.
Regular stretching before jumping (and
possibly afterwards if you have time and have had a physically stressing day)
will reduce those “day after jumping” aches and pains that we’ve all had at
sometime, will reduce the risk of injury and will allow you to perform more
efficiently.
Doing these the day after
will also help with any aches that you are experiencing. If you ever go on a 4 way camp or observe the
serious teams, then you will know that a stretching regime is part of the daily
jumping routine.

Events like the Bodyflight World Challenge are
bringing in a new era of a different kind of skydiving meet that isn’t dependent
on weather.
With tunnels all over the world and more planned, it won’t be long
before competitive teams incorporate indoor meets into their training schedule
as a matter of course.

 In all skydiving disciplines such as formation skydiving and freeflying there is a neutral body position that we always return to.
This neutral body position is adopted and taught for good reasons - to be in control, to be safe and as a start and finish point for more advanced manoeuvres.
There is also a neutral body position when flying the canopy.

Skydiving video and still photography is an interesting and rewarding
subject, but the safety considerations which must be adhered to require
discipline and knowledge of your own limitations.
Be patient and enjoy the learning process, but always be thoughtful of
what type of jumps and conditions require you to sometimes say no. Know your gear inside out, and how to use it well
and safely, and you mustn’t hesitate for a second if you have to get it
off your head quick.
Hopefully this article has provided a little insight into the subject,
and if you wish to ask any further questions regarding skydiving video
and photography please email us.

I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase, and you probably know that
dirtdiving is practising the skydive on the ground before you go up in the
air.
So why have an article about it?
