Fury8Storm Project 2008

 

Bodyflight Storm ran their first 8-way / 4-way project in Perris in collaboration with Perris Fury this year.  During the 10 day training camp, two 8-way teams trained consisiting of a British team and an International Guest team.  The project also included a Rookie team (Storm4Cast) and a single A (Brainstorm) 4-way team which were coached by members of Bodyflight Storm. All teams competed at the British Nationals resulting in a silver in the 8-way Open class plus very credible performances in both the Rookie and single A 4-way classes.

Skydive Langar: 10– 12 September:

 

During the Langar Boogie II, the team held a coaching road catering for those wanting to get their FS1 to those wanting to hone their 4-way and big formation skills. We coached a total of 12 jumpers whose experience ranged from 50 jumps to 500 jumps, with Tory looking to get her FS1 to the likes of Ben, Nicola, Claire and Lucy who were big way jumpers wanting to give 4-way a go! We also had Nigel who was keen to get some camera tips from Swoop.

See some of the feedback we received:

 

"I just wanted to take the opportunity to say a massive thank you to all of you for the coaching at the boogie. I really enjoyed myself and I learned so much! It was top notch coaching and i really feel like I improved all my skills over those few jumps. Look forward to seeing you all again soon." - Holly Blake
