Why was it created?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In Australia, it\u2019s fairly common knowledge that we lose a lot of jumpers between the 50-100 jump mark. This handbook was born out of the desire to inspire and support skydivers at this critical stage in their skydiving careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone can follow the sequence of jumps or use the Handbook as a \u2018pick and mix\u2019, with tips and tricks included in each section as prompts and advice. The handbook gives jumpers from around the 50 jump mark (Certificate B in Australia), fun ideas for skydives they can try with people of similar experience levels, and aims to bring some focus to their jumps while giving them some guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also a great resource for mentors, coaches and Load Organisers to help them prompt or assist newer jumpers with ideas of suitable jumps they can try.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
