Sparky’s FS1 Camp summary:
The goal of these camps is to refine your 1 on 1 skills and to introduce you to the additional skills required for 4-way. The camps are aimed at those working towards their FS1 (CAT 10), and those who have recently gained FS1.
By the end of the camp you will feel confident to complete any remaining 1 on 1 FS coached skydives and make the subsequent 4-way FS1 qualifications seem much less daunting.
The tunnel camp is split into 2 parts;
20 minutes of 1 on 1 working on individual skills such as basic body position, forward & backward movement, slow fall & fast fall turns (using arms and legs), side slides, positional strength and grip taking.
20 minutes of 4 way: 3 students to 1 coach, giving you the experience of building different formations in a variety of different slots, working on communication, formation set ups, grip management and key discipline.
Flyers should allow approximately 3 to 4 hours on site.
For more information and prices, contact: Claire ‘Sparky’ Scott on 07812 060 215 or by email sparky@ukskydivingadventures.com
