quade 4 #4 February 2, 2004 Sounds like what we would call speed star. 10-way speed is a National event for us in the U.S.. Some folks occasionally do 8-way speed for fun, but it's not really a normal event. Our 10-way speed in the U.S. is a little different in that we make other formations beyond just a star.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 273 #5 February 2, 2004 Speed stars! Fun stuff! In the US it's a competition at Nationals - 10 way speed. IIRC 10 way speed was the first kind of RW competition - first done back in the late '60's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rdutch 0 #13 February 2, 2004 We do a fun version of that in Deland, we put two teams in the skyvan up to 10 people a team, and we line up side by side, and race to see who can build the fastest formation, head to head, its fun as hell, if you go low you fly over and take the other team out.

mnischalke 0 #14 February 2, 2004 QuoteSome folks occasionally do 8-way speed for fun, but it's not really a normal event. You're lying. 8-way speedstar is the big event of nationals. Army is always #1, but I hear that AirMiami is kicking some ass.

We had one at Skydive San Marcos last year on St. patty's day and i think we are doing it again this year. Fun stuff. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.
