About Us
Our goal here at Gravity Calls is to help promote the sport of BASE jumping. By offering advice to people who wish to find out more about the sport, what is the best way to learn and what kind of experience you should have before you start. We also offer knowledge on skydiving and where the best places are to go for your first jump. All you need to do is contact us with your enquiry, and we can send you in the right direction.
By raising public awareness on the sport of BASE jumping, hopefully decreases the ignorance of most peoples perception and increases a greater understanding of why anyone would want to jump off a fixed object. All extreme sports, and most everyday activities, have a “high risk” about them. But as we learn more about these risks, we seem to accept these other sports and activities into our lives. So if we can do the same for BASE jumping, then our mission is accomplished.
Gravity Calls is a team of BASE jumpers / Skydiving Instructors who travel to different parts of the world attending legally organised BASE events and to many countries that have legal BASE jumping sites. We also compete in Skydiving competitions.
Supporters Merchandise
At the moment we currently have a small range of supporters apparel on the market for those who wish to get behind the sport of BASE jumping and Skydiving.
New designs are always being put into place and we will have a larger range of stock for you to choose from shortly. If you would like to see more of these events around, or even think that it’s a “Cool” sport, grab yourself some gear and help us promote the Base jumping and Skydiving industries.
MARKETING
Having owned and managed our own personal businesses in the past, we know that marketing is an important section in any successful business. That’s why we offer many different options in our Marketing section within the BASE and Skydiving industries.
Organising special events to promote your business through an exciting sport has more benefits than you would first think. Advertising and Promotional work is available for all types of media activities. Our qualified instructors and experienced BASE jumpers will be able to work with you to get those professional end results. Whether it be stunt work, demonstrations, promotional, or just a special piece of entertainment for any event.
Offering not just the jumping side of things, we also capture digital video and photography for you as well. This enables you to get the freefall action first hand to enable the best possible shots for any scene you so desire.
Please see our MARKETING section for more information on these or contact us with any ideas you may have.
RIGGING
Construction Rigging within the movie / television industries is also another specialty of ours. Our riggers have worked in all aspects of the film industry, whether it be in a studio, the jungle, or even mining. We have been specializing in reality television lately with the construction of tree bridges, flying foxes, special effects games and any other challenges that the show throws at us.
Check out our Photo Gallery under “rigging” and see what things we have been building lately.
For more information on our rigging section, just contact us with any questions you may have or see our sister website, www.akamax.com.au.
