About us

We are proud to present Babylon Freefly, one of the best skydiving teams in the sport, a collective that was created more than 20 years ago.

Our mission has always been to stay at the edge, be dynamic, remain creative and inject vitality into the sport and passion into our work. We truly live and breathe the skydiving life!

Coaching

Winning 10 gold medals in Freefly, Freestyle and VFS at World Class Level with the longest running school in the sport, Babylon have a range of training courses suited to the needs of novices and experts alike.

For individuals seeking to learn or improve their Freefly skills we provide One on One Coaching, for more experienced teams or individuals, Team Training and Big Way Workshops allow a rapid and cost effective way of improving awareness and skills in a safe environment.

Babylon also provides Wind Tunnel Coaching, which allow for rapid progression in a confined space, translating to maximum spacial awareness when in the air.
If you have any questions about our coaching programmes or are unsure which is the best method for you, get in touch!

Production

Babylon has extensive experience in choreography and production of aerial media for mediums including TV, film, music videos, live events and printed media.

We have been involved in projects ranging from television adverts for El Corte Ingles, Peugeot or Nintendo, appearing for the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi annual air show or during the Red Bull Air races, creating inspiring photography for the Readers Digest magazine and shooting for big production film companies. Expertly skilled as body and canopy pilots, we can deliver results of the highest quality with minimal time or fuss, the results are simply stunning.
