Further Training

Once you have qualified category 8, you may be asking yourself what to do now??? Below are some of the options available to you,
	Formation Skydiving: This is a discipline that most parachutists take when learning the basics of skydiving, here you will learn to skydive relative to other skydivers and you can build formations as you fall and will score a point for every formation you build correctly, once you can score 4 points when in a 4 way formation you will qualify as FS1 (formation Skydiving 1), competitions are held all over the UK and are in 3 classes, junior, intermediate and senior.
	Free Flying: This is a relatively new discipline where there really is no fixed boundaries, you fly your body in a more relax and free manner and generally have two main flying positions, sit flying and head down, you then transition from this and fly in a free but controlled manner. There are 2 qualifications in this, FF1 (FreeFly1) and FF2 (FreeFly2), again competitions are held throughout the UK.
	Canopy Formation: This is a discipline where you link your canopies together to form elaborate but spectacular visual displays. This is a very physically demanding discipline and great caution is needed to prevent a wrap with canopies, when qualified you will be awarded CF1 (Canopy Formation 1). Canopy Formation has 3 disciplines, 4 way rotation, 4 way sequential and 8 way speed formation.
	SkySurfing: SkySurfing is by far probably the most physically demanding discipline in the sport and also the most difficult to master. If you want to do this you must already be a very good skydiver and be committed to the training. SkySurfing has 2 grades SS1(Skysurfing 1) and SS2 (Skysurfing 2).
	Wing Suits: Wing suit flying is the newest phenomenon to emerge in the skydiving community since the birth of SkySurfing, both of which were pioneered by the same man (Patrick De Gayardon) and has seen the fastest take up since the suits were originally designed back in the mid to late 90's. The Wing suits of today are constantly evolving and the sky is certainly not the limit.
