Skywalkers Basics Skills Camp March 2008 |
|
|
In March, at the
beginning of our Spring Blow Out Boogie, we welcomed
the Skywalkers and their annual Basic Skills Freefly
Camp.
Norwegian Freefly
Champions, the Skywalkers came equipped with 11 coaches teaching
one-to-one, with 32 participants, we saw many
skydivers manage lots of jumps:
Coaches, Mathias Holtz
and Håvard Flaat managed the most coaching jumps
with 90 each, Phillippe Thibodeau 80, Fabian Raidal
79 and the other coaches averaging 70 jumps each.
Kjell Svanes managed
32 coach jumps, with most participants getting
between 23 and 56 one-to-one jumps. Kristian
Johansen got in 23 coached jumps and 68 fun jumps.
Skydive Spain would
like to thank the Skywalkers, the coaches and all
the participants for a really great couple of weeks,
and a big thanks to Ron Holan who put in lots of
hard work on the ground to get the participants in
the air!!!

The Skills
camp got off to a great start, arriving at
the DZ for a docs and kit check, then they
were split into groups to cover different
skill sets, from packing to canopy control.
Each day saw
the Basics Camp arrive bright and early,
starting with a seminar for the day ahead.
Anniken took control of organising an early
morning Yoga session, which the participants
enjoyed - partly because some of our staff
wanted to be involved.
The coaches
were getting in 8 to 12 coaching jumps each
day with the participants have the
opportunity for fun jumps in between coached
jumps to help practice the new skills being
covered. |
|
After a day's
hard work, the coaches took to the skies for
fun jumps, with some head down and
tracking jumps. |
