Are you looking for the next step to increase your big way skills? Is one of your goals to get invited to invitational events, or records, like the Illinois Large Formation State Record attempt later this year, and need experience in those “next level” big way skills? Well, this is your answer!! The event will be geared to give participants the opportunity to gain experience in various slots in an 80 way formation. Jumps will be structured to focus on building individual skills specific to larger formation sizes usually seen in records. Sight pictures for exit from a left trail aircraft, long dives and formations built on various base sizes and shapes will be focused on as well as build processes and communication in freefall.

The whole event will be full 80 way formations. Exit altitude will be from 17,000 ft for the entirety of the event giving the participants the opportunity to use supplemental oxygen on jumps in a controlled environment. Everything you can think of will be covered! Every jump will be extensively prepped and debriefed with the best video in the business brought to you by Byrd’s Eye studio.

The preparation of the jump will focus on the technique needed to properly execute the specific goals of each jump. Debriefs will be in a structured environment with a focus on the goal of the jump, and individuals will be given feedback to improve the skill they are working on. Each jump will be repeated to facilitate improvements on each skill set. Each day participants will make up to 5 jumps with ample time between jumps to fully prep and debrief each jump. By the end of the event, every participant will have gained a stronger understanding of big way FS and have gobs of fun!

Registration includes all organization and prep, oxygen and cannulas during jumps, your organizer and video jumps and costs, an event T shirt (must submit application by 1/17/25 to guarantee correct size) and event dinner on Saturday night! You will have access to all videos and social media quality photos. Full resolution/high quality photos will be available for purchase from Byrd’s Eye Studios after the event.
