So you think you've tried it all? The Freefall Academy brings you the incomparable world of skydiving. We provide an atmosphere of excitement and adventure in which anyone possessing the urge for challenge can project. Far from concrete and steel havens of the city, where recreation forms are mostly passive, enjoyed by spectators, there exists a unique pastime. This pastime welcomes those who would rather partake than watch, partake of the thrill of stressing the emotions and awakening a dormant spirit. It is here to be experienced... the sport of the space age. It's one thing to fall out of an airplane. Most persons making their first skydive are motivated to this new excitement by something deep inside their psyche, compelling them to challenge the primordial fear of falling. That fear of altitude... a healthy fear... has formed the average person's reluctance to venture expanding his or her world from the relatively flat, two-dimensional, into the third dimension. It's another thing to be able to assume the skill of dynamic transport on a controlled basis in the three dimensional world; that is... to fly! That's a step beyond. To fly requires an energetic leap into a process of learning to acquire the skilled awareness of the tools of safety and the environment of flying, as well as control of the self;.. the ability to function precisely under a certain psychodynamic duress... The Wright Brothers weren't the first to fly, they were the first to control flight. A skillful skydiver can fly in freefall, much like a
swimmer can swim in water, only needing an ascent vehicle... the aircraft... for
altitude... and the descent vehicle, the gliding parachute, for landing. He or she
is thus able to emulate nature's aircraft: the bird! However, whereas the bird
possesses an intrinsic sense of flight, the human must learn it; it must be taught. It is
being taught, and learned easily, by using a uniform system of instruction which has
become an accepted contemporary standard, worldwide.
