AFF and beginner's 4 way

Hannah will be at the US Nationals and is available to help your team if you are attending - you can email her directly at hannah_betts@hotmail.com.

We can work with anyone, at any level. If you are thinking of trying skydiving for the first time and would like to have a go in the windtunnel, we can help you get ahead of the game... You will literally fly through your AFF or static line if you spend 30 minutes or more in the tunnel with Storm.

We can arrange for you to book onto your AFF or static line course, or to book a tandem jump.

Get your 4 way team in the tunnel with the current World Champions and two time National Champions! It doesn't matter what experience you have as a team or as individuals. We can work out a training plan to suit your team.

Make a skydive! Learn to skydive from just £170 or raise money for charity and skydive for free. Tandem, Static Line and Accelerated Freefall Skydiving courses are available at 25 British Parachute Association affiliated centres across the UK... So why not try something different this weekend!

8 WAY COACHING AND PLAYER/COACH TEAMS

XStormin8 is carrying on for 2010! Next year's plan is to complete two weeks of training, plus 8 hours of tunnel time at Bedford.

XStormin8 competed at this year's World Cup in the Czech Republic, scoring a fantastic 6.9 average which was a great improvement on the 5.7 average scored at the British Nationals just two weeks before. This was a fantastic opportunity for the team to compete at a World level and it was definitely an experience to remember!

This year's line up was: Smithy, Dave Stephens, Calvin Blacker, Stikkos, Joel Gluth, Aillee Hardman, Jo Gibbs, and Lesley Gale. Ben Cannon filmed the team for the Spain training camp, John Baggaley filmed at the Nationals and Rob Grey filmed at the World Cup (Escondido, thanks for sharing!).

If you would like to be involved in future projects, please contact Smithy on sarahjcannon@hotmail.co.uk for further details.

The team is available for coaching world-wide. Please contact bodyflightstorm@hotmail.com for more details.

BPA COACHING ROADSHOWS

28-29 March – Sparky and Andy Scott attended the Peterlee Coaching Road Show. They held seminars throughout Saturday and then did 10 coached jumps on the Sunday ranging from people’s FS1’s, basic 2-way WARP and more advanced 4-ways.

25-26 April - Smithy and Hannah coached at the Nethers Road Show, which was moved last minute from Dunkeswell. They coached a number of 4 way teams and individuals, inspiring another roadshow to take place at the DZ a few months later!

23-24 May – Sparky coached 22 teams for the weekend of the Weston UKSL. There was a good mixture of Rookie, A, AA and AAA. Some had never done 4-way before other than their FS1. Sparky didn’t leave the creeper pad for 2 days!!

27-28 June – Sparky coached at the 2nd Nethers Coaching Road Show – this concentrated mainly on people wanting to do 4-way rather than basic WARP which club jumpers will do.
