2012 Australian Big Way Formation Skydiving Record

2012 Record Attempt Expressions of Interest Time:

The 2010 record attempts were smashingly successful - the team made 3 consecutive records, 105, 109, and 112 ways.

Now we are looking at getting bigger using the same successful strategy.

But we need new people. WE NEED YOU!

If you are interested in participating in the 2012 record attempts, please email Greg Jack your expressions of interest at gregorykjack@yahoo.com.au - Download Greg's letter here!

It does NOT matter what your experience level. With the right training, even current students "possibly could be" a part of the next record!

Proposed dates are May 30th to June 12th, 2012.

This whole website will be revamped for the upcoming record attempt. All the 2010 stuff will be archived but accessable. Stay tuned for this.
