EnglishWhat is Skydive the Mag?
Updated
Skydive the Mag (skydivethemag.com) is a UK-focused skydiving publication covering club news, competitions, events, gear, progression and safety. It is a magazine-style news and information site for the British skydiving community rather than a drop zone, booking platform or training provider. If you want to follow what is happening across UK skydiving, or sign up for the British Skydiving Newsletter, this is the kind of site to check.
What the site covers
The site is organised around a small set of recurring sections, each aimed at a different part of the sport:
| Section | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Club News | What has been happening at local drop zones |
| Competitions | News from British Skydiving National Championships and international competitions |
| Events | Dates for competitions, courses, Council and Committee meetings |
| Gear | Latest gear news and reviews |
| Progression | Knowledge and skill-building content |
| Safety | How to stay safe and manage risk |
The excerpt also points to feature-style articles, including topics such as becoming a skydiver, starting freestyle skydiving, coaching new coaches, moving "from the tunnel to the sky", wingsuit records, VFS, AFF and harness and emergency-procedure themes. That mix suggests the site serves both newcomers curious about the sport and experienced jumpers following the UK scene.
Who it is for
The content is written for people inside or adjacent to British skydiving:
- British skydivers who want national competition results, event dates and drop zone news.
- New or aspiring skydivers looking for explainer-style articles on how to start, what AFF involves and how progression works.
- Coaches and experienced jumpers interested in coaching, tunnel-to-sky transitions, wingsuit and VFS topics.
- Anyone following the wider UK community who wants a single place for club, competition and event updates.
The site uses British English and references British Skydiving structures, so it is most directly relevant to a UK audience.
What it is not
It is worth being clear about the boundaries, because the name could be misread:
- It is not a drop zone and does not appear to offer jumps itself.
- It is not a booking service for courses or tandem jumps.
- It is not a training provider — progression and safety articles are informational, not a substitute for instruction at a affiliated club or drop zone.
If your goal is to actually book a jump or start training, you would use this site for background reading and then go to a drop zone or training organisation.
The newsletter
The site invites readers to sign up for the British Skydiving Newsletter, with a form that asks you to agree to the Privacy Policy and includes a simple anti-spam check. This is the main direct action the site asks of visitors. The available information does not state pricing or login requirements, so treat the newsletter as a sign-up offer rather than assuming any paid tier.
How to use it
- Skim the section headings — Club News, Competitions, Events, Gear, Progression, Safety — to find the area relevant to you.
- Read the feature articles if you are new to the sport and want orientation on AFF, freestyle, VFS or wingsuit progression.
- Check Events if you are looking for competition, course or committee dates.
- Sign up for the newsletter if you want British Skydiving updates delivered rather than checking back manually.
In short: Skydive the Mag is a UK skydiving news and features publication. Use it to stay informed and to find the newsletter sign-up; use a drop zone or training organisation when you want to jump.
