Euro Bigway Camp 2020

Hurrah for the third year of the Euro Big-Way Camp, which last year attracted 140 skydivers from all over the world. For 2020, responding to demand, we have a longer camp, 4-5 day days. Thursday 10 to Sunday 13 September are camp itself, and will be multiple aircraft loads, 42-ways from Skydive Hibaldstow’s fast-climbing aeroplanes – Turbine G92s and Super Caravans. Wednesday 9 September is an optional warm-up day with smaller groups, this is highly recommended for lower experienced jumpers and those who have not jumped at Skydive Hibaldstow before.

There will be world-class coaching from Lesley Gale, Milko Hodgkinson, Sian Stokes, Billy Payn, Herman Landsman and Rob Kendall.There will also be seminars, videos, dinner on two nights, entertainment and a Black ‘n’ White party with DJ Richie.

Topics will include:

• Big-way Etiquette
• Dirtdiving headspace
• Base work
• Floating skills
• Short, medium and late diving techniques
• The stadium
• Approach and dock – the Red Zone
• Breakoff in staged waves
• Tracking teams
• Big-way canopy skills

The cost is £159 for the 4-day camp. This includes coaching, video, registration, dinner on Thursday and Saturday night and party on Saturday. Jumps are at normal prices, no extra for the formation flying with three aircraft, which is planned to be every load. The optional warm-up Wednesday is an extra £35. There are 120 slots available on the camp, for three loads of 42-ways with coaches and camera. Last year was a sell-out, so register now to secure your place.

To attend, you must have the basic skills to dock on a 10-way formation. Complete the google form and submit (you should get a confirmation screen). If you attended one of the two previous Camps camps you’re virtually guaranteed a place. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1aB0hk9UCEk2XxpkPJn7zms1wOfDNbsL8R2H5LYBmCiY.

We will get in touch to confirm your position and send you a payment link. If you are lower experience we may require you to attend the warm-up day.

Please note, due to the difficulty of keeping track of messages sent by the plethora of media we have available, we will only respond to communication about the camp in 2 ways – post on the Facebook event page if it is a general query that others may share, or email us if you have a specific question (lesley@skydivemag.com). Thank you for your understanding!.
