Skysurfing is considered by many to be a dynamic and spectacular aerial sport. The media has been quick to recognise its potential and have provided extensive coverage at competition level world-wide.
ViceVersa comprises a unique two man skysurfing team, namely Chris Gauge and Tim Porter. The reason they are unique is because whilst one is skysurfing the other can film and vice versa, or they can both skysurf at the same time with another party filming. Either way, they are the leading edge in sky sports today.

Exclusive sponsorship of ViceVersa will provide your company with a unique opportunity to publicise yourselves to the exact audience you are after.
Because ViceVersa both base themselves and train at Hibaldstow Airfield (located centrally in the UK), where literally hundreds of skydivers (potential clients) will see them on a regular basis, and because your name will be on their equipment it will be your company they call for their requirements. ViceVersa would look to be wearing your corporate colours, with your company's message showing on their suits, parachute canopies, skysurfing boards, and equipment bags. The following list highlights the areas where ViceVersa will help you:
Standard Events Promoting Your Company

There are many advantages for any organisation providing sponsorship for ViceVersa. However, some of the more relevant issues for your company are:-

1.The people that ViceVersa both practice and perform in front of are your potential client base. i.e. Skydivers, Skysurfers, Parachutist, etc.
2.Because ViceVersa are at the leading edge of their sport, competing in the world championships in Australia 1999, you will gain the prestige associated with supporting the best.
3.Skysurfing appeals to an audience with an excellent spending record i.e. 16 - 40 years, income in excess £20k per annum, likely to purchase high value items etc.
4.Because ViceVersa perform to a world-wide audience, you will be seen as a world-wide supplier which increases your market potential.
5.Because of the recent boom in media coverage of so called extreme sports (cable TV, specific magazines, national and international newspaper) your company will be seen by the widest possible audience.
