Vertical Extreme Skydiving TO describe VES as the new kids on the block in the Alberta Skydiving Scene is a fair statement. To say that out Chief Instructor is over qualified is also fair to say. With every Skydiving Instructors rating available and over twenty years experience managing skydiving schools he is EXTREMELY good at his job. As a member in good standing of the Canadian Sport Parachuting Association for over 26 years he has served eight years as a director (1989- 1996). Mr Hutchinson is currently on the Coach's Working Committee for CSPA guiding the development of student training programs across Canada. He has been a member of that committee since 1989 as well.
