“Skydive York is extremely proud to be hosting the 2017 Australian National Skydiving Championships. The best athletes and teams from around the country battle it out to be awarded the coveted title of national champions.” York Skydiving event organiser Tom Gilmartin said.
“The five day event will feature all the various forms of competition skydiving including all the freefall disciplines, Canopy Relative Work and the visually spectacular Canopy Piloting.
“This is a great opportunity for anyone with an interest in skydiving or aviation to see exactly what goes on at a busy working drop zone.
“The skies will be full of falling humans and as the competition progresses there will be an increased atmosphere.
“We’re looking forward to welcoming participants and spectators to the event - it’s really going to be a lot of fun.”
Spectators are invited to witness the event throughout the week from 8am daily at Australia’s first purpose-built skydiving facility.
