Fundamentals of Big Ways Skill Camp - Head Down Camp with Jesse Jaber and Chris Dare.
With decades of combined experience in vertical big way formations, Chris Dare and Jesse Jaber bring world-class expertise to every event. Both have participated in the current HD and Sequential World Records, with Chris serving as a Sector Captain on the Vertical World Record. Jesse captained Team USA to gold in Indoor Dynamic Vertical Sequential 8-Way at the World Championships, with Chris also competing on the gold-medal-winning team. Together, they host the Barnstorm Sequential Event, bringing together 20 experienced flyers to build complex dive flows and push the limits of vertical sequential skydiving.

The Fundamentals of Big-Way HD Skill Camp is designed to build the foundational skills, safety, awareness, and confidence needed to progress to larger formations and more advanced events.
This camp is designed for intermediate - advanced vertical flyers who want an introduction to or want to practice their big way skills. New to big ways, wanting to get current or improve your skill set? This camp is for you!
