Formation
Skydiving Skills Camp : 15 – 16
August 2009, EP Skydivers
By John Williamson, C1685
On the weekend of
Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th of August
this year we, at EP Skydivers in Grahamstown,
were visited by FS coaches Matteo Pagani
and Bailey Edmunds. They were visiting
us to tell us all about the new skydiving
league that has been launched and also
to pass on some much needed skydiving
skills, all for free. The skydiving league
was explained to us all and we are already
organising a 4-way for next year to represent
EP Skydivers. We have a group attending
the tunnel camp in Bedford UK in March
next year.
John Williamson listens attentively
to the briefing by Matteo and Bailey
Jnr
Their patience with the less experienced
jumpers was really evident and new relative
work flying skills were explained thoroughly
on the ground then perfectly shown and
executed in the air. I have definitely
walked away from their expertise with
more skills and I can talk for everyone
who attended their training course.
The skydiving league is a fantastic
avenue to get us less experienced skydivers
more exposure and a perfect way to enhance
your flying skills and safety.
They will be welcome to EP Skydivers
anytime and we hope to have them back
at least once a year.
