About Us - Claire Scott, Sparky, Professional Skydiver
|
UK Skydiving Adventures Ltd is a company that offers a wide range of parachute
and skydiving courses catering for everyone from the first time jumper to
experienced skydiver wanting to pursuer their hobby further. The company prides
itself for managing the booking process from beginning to end ensuring that the
individual or group feels confident that they have all the information they need
for their experience.
The company was founded by Claire Scott, affectionately known as “Sparky” in the
skydiving community. Sparky started her skydiving career 19 years ago whilst
studying at Portsmouth University, when she attended a RAPS static line course
at Netheravon, Wiltshire.
“Sparky was never considered a natural, taking 17 static line jumps to progress onto free fall, however her perseverance and dedication have since seen her complete over 6,000 jumps, In 1999 she gained selection for the British Women’s Formation Skydiving Team and has competed at numerous competitions all over the world resulting in 5 World Championship gold medals.
She recently added to this success by winning gold at the 3rd Dubai International Parachuting Championships in December 2011. She also holds the World Record for the most formations scored in 35 seconds with her former team, Team Airkix. Her achievements have earned her a number of Royal Aero Club Awards which were presented to her by Prince Andrew.”
As well as being a keen competitor, Sparky is a Static line and AFF instructor
and teaches at her local drop zones during the week and at most weekends. If you
happen to be booked onto a course which she is teaching, you may also get to
hear the funny story that gave her the nickname Sparky!
Sparky also coaches beginner skydivers and up and coming formation skydiving
teams both in the sky and at the 3 wind tunnels we now have in the UK. She
herself has hundreds of hours experience in the wind tunnel and loves passing on
the knowledge she has gained from the numerous hours she has trained in the
tunnel.
Sparky is well known within the skydiving community having jumped, instructed,
coached or competed at most drop zones in the country, not to mention the
numerous educational articles she has contributed to the BPA Skydiving Magazine
which is circulated to the BPA membership. She also took part in the first ever
live advert put together by Honda in conjunction with Channel 4, which involved
16 skydivers spelling the word HONDA in the sky on live TV!
Sparky’s passion and dedication for the sport is reflected in this website and
the service provided. Skydiving is an amazing sport and we at UK Skydiving
Adventures Ltd want to ensure that your experience is a lasting memory.
