Are you interested in big-ways or want to brush up on skills that you rarely get to practice? Is one of your goals to get invited to invitational events, sequentials, or records? Are you having a hard time building the experience necessary to achieve those goals? Well, this is your answer!

Our Skills Camps focus on building strong fundamentals, learning new skills and expanding on existing knowledge to make you a better and safer big-way flyer. Over time, we have improved and perfected our approach and curriculum, now known worldwide. We emphasize the pre-event preparation and theory learning with our Big-Way Basics Video Series so that during the event you can apply those concepts and jump more! We break down every element of the jump for you, from the climbout and exit to the landing. Jump after jump, we introduce new concepts and expose you to new slots, while always making sure you are set for success and enjoying the process along the way.

Build Strong, Reliable Skills

We focus on the fundamentals that matter most: fast exits, stable body position, clean approaches, awareness of others, and safe breakoffs. These skills are the foundation of every successful big-way.
