FurtheranZe FS camp 8.12 – 9.12

This will be the next camp in the ongoing series of FurtheranZe Formation Skydiving Skills camps. There are still slots left. You can reserve a slot at this camp up until noon of the Thursday prior by following this link:https://bookings.burblesoft.com/index/53/22.

Prerequisites to attend a camp are 200 freefall jumps, 100 of which are formation skydives.

FurtheranZe camps are an excellent way to meet other skydivers who are interested in achieving more during their skydives.

They require less commitment than a traditional skydiving team, but may help you meet people you could form a team with.

FurtheranZe camps are NOT a substitute for basic flight coaching. They are a way to further develop your formation skydiving skills in a structured environment.

Why: This camp is designed to make BELLY GREAT AGAIN.

We will prep and dirt dive each exit and jump with a full video debrief at the end of the day and pointers between jumps. Expect to do 5-6+ jumps per day.

RAIN OR SHINE we will still hold this camp. If the weather is less than ideal, I will have videos from Nationals and various team trainings to review. I will also walk through 4- and 8-way dive pools and hold mini-seminars on belly exits and level, slot, docking!

Cost: $50 (non-refundable) per day registration fee + the cost of jumps at Jump Georgia. Registration fee payable via PayPal. Price includes videos (& possibly pictures). Make sure to bring your flashdrive!

Wingsuit course with Chase Mccook 30.11 – 2.12
This is a camp for beginner/intermediate wingsuit pilots with intentions on building skills in basic formation and dynamic flying.
Getting multiple wingsuit groups in the plane and proper exit procedures off jump run to ensure safe flights for both groups.

Also plan on building larger formations with all pilots and working with the more experienced flyers with backflying and moving about the formations during the flight.
The main goal of the camp is to have everyone leave the weekend feeling like they improved on some aspect in their wingsuit piloting skills and to also feel more safe and be able to plan and execute fun and safe wingsuit flock formations.

The camp is set for Thanksgiving weekend if there is enough interest and a better weekend in November would work I can be flexible, please leave feedback in the discussion, I’m excited to put this event together and hope to see positive feedback from everyone interested.
Camp costs will be $35 for the weekend payable to chasemccok@ymail.com via PayPal. If you have any questions please feel free to shoot me a message.
