Bigway Camp and Invite 08
For ordering information: eric@skydivespaceland.com Skydive Spaceland hosted its annual winter Big Way Camp/ Invitationals November 5th-9th with 120 participants in total. Event captains include Kate Cooper-Jensen, Tom Jenkins, Larry Henderson, and Scott Latinis. These captains are very accomplished current World Record Holders and competitors with approx. 35,000 jumps between them. The first 3 days were focused on the 60 way camp where skydivers receive training on exit techniques from both right and left trail aircraft, tracking tips, canopy control in large groups, and just about anything else you might have questions on when it comes to big way formations. The proven model the team of organizers use allow smaller formations, 20 - 40 ways, to duplicate all the jobs, visuals, and responsibilities of a 100+ way formation. This is a "no fault" approach to teaching where you are encouraged to push your limits while learning. The last 2 days were focused on more experienced jumpers looking to push their skydiving skills in larger, more complex 60 way formations. Event participants had a great time challenging themselves and are looking forward to next years event.
