Recommended Posts

There's going to be some great Organizing/Coaching going on at Skydive Atlanta this weekend. Not sure who all the coaches were (6 or 7 I heard) but I know John Pinyon and Ian Drennan will be there. So bring it. Last I heard they want to do 3-4 ways to work the SKILLZ! I'll be there.........will you? B|

Here are the details for the camp(s).

Skydive Atlanta will be doing "giveback" weekends this year as an opportunity for more experienced flyers to give back to the upcoming freefly community. We're not the worlds best, we're not trying to be, we're just trying to spread the knowledge :P

The giveback weekend schedule for this year is currently set to have 3 events on the following dates:

April 9/10
July 9/10
September 17/18

Here's the format the weekends are going to follow:
* The coach pays their own slot.
* Each jumper pays their own slot.
* The cost of the coaches pack job is divided amongst all the people in the group the coach is working with. For example, 1 on 1 coaching means the jumper pays 5, but a 5 way with the coach means each jumper pays 1 dollar. Basically we’re trying to keep any additional cost to jumpers down. The pack jobs are necessary so the coach has enough time to debrief the group and go up on a load with another group.
* Groups are going to be divided into 3 tiers. Each tier will have different objectives and skill requirements. Tier 1 will be one on one coaching. Tier 2 will be smaller (2-4 way) freefly dives (normally all in the same orientation). Tier 3 will be multi orientation, multi jumper dives.
* Each tier will have the same coach for the entire day. The next day the coaches will all rotate to a different tier.
* Whenever possible the coach will NOT be a part of the dive. The coaches objective on the dive is get debriefable video whenever possible.
* Event begins at 9am on Saturday and Sunday.
* Everybody is welcome, regardless of skill level.
* Bring your jumping shoes cause even if you're not on rotation with a coach for a load or two, we don't want ya sitting around - get up there and PRACTICE :)
If you'd like to receive emails about the events (or updates) please PM me with your email address so I can add you to our distribution list.

Please let us know if you plan on attending a camp so we can get a general idea of how many people to expect and plan for.

If you have any questions or feedback please let me know.

Blues!
