We’ve been hosting the B-License Weekend Immersive here at AXIS HQ for many years now. The positive feedback from students never ceases to amaze and delight us (and inspire us to do more!).
We designed the Immersive because the canopy skills you learn and demonstrate for your B-license often represent your safety baseline. We believe that everyone in this sport needs a higher average safety baseline. And, unfortunately, completing a B-licence course “just to get it over with” is the norm.
Let’s raise the damn norm, shall we.
We wrote this for @SkydiveUSPA #ParachutistMagazine to make exactly that argument. How’d we do?
