Competition Winners

 

‘The Sky’s The Limit’ Photography Competition Winners

We are delighted to announce the winners, of our latest competition, to showcase British Skydiving’s amazing sportswomen. 

This is one of several initiatives we are running with a view to encouraging more women into skydiving and supporting those who are already jumping to remain in the sport and have the best skydiving journey. It builds on some of the good practice seen over recent years in other sports, which has had great results – think women’s football and rugby, and even British Canoeing!

From professional skydivers and elite athletes to those just starting out, from in-air antics to ground-based action, we celebrate the athleticism, power, skill, energy, camaraderie, spirit, determination and compassion of women in our sport.

X Dream Skydiving is enthusiastic about promoting equality in all forms and are excited to be able to support this initiative from British Skydiving. There are many fantastic female role models in our sport, and we hope that this competition will serve to highlight them and inspire future generations of women in skydiving.

The second-hand rig market currently suffers from a shortage of harnesses for people with smaller frames, which disproportionately disadvantages women, who are more likely to end up jumping ill-fitting equipment or needing to invest more to buy new. We have deliberately ensured that we have more harnesses available in smaller sizes in our rental fleet to accommodate those who can’t find suitable second-hand gear.

PRIZE: 2 x 1 Month Rig Rental
