Load Organizers

Usually these figures are well-respected local jumpers, and or national- and world-class competitors. They use their vast knowledge, experience, and personalities to create a fun and inviting atmosphere for less experienced jumpers to generate revenue for the DZ. They do this by acting as a “jumping concierge”.

By engaging and jumping with newbie’s, introducing jumpers to one another, addressing safety issues and DZ rules, as well as jumping as much as possible, all the while coming up with fun and challenging jumps. The number one priority is fostering an inclusive atmosphere, especially for visitors and jumpers new to the sport.
