Camps

Part of the actual attempt to break the record is also high-quality preparation, which we will serve you in the form of theoretical training, tunnel flying and jump camps themselves. At the theoretical training, you will learn all the necessary information important for safe bigway jumping, but also a lot of other information for the success of the record itself. In addition to preparation for bigway situations, tunnel camps will give you confidence for real jumps. The aim of the camps is also to check you0r readiness to participate in the record.

Participation in the camps is voluntary, but each participant of the record must participate in at least one of the jump camps. Training and camps will take place from January to August.

Jumping camps can also be attended by those interested in improving themselves in FS jumping, who have at least an A license and a recommendation from their instructor to jump in the 8+ set.

Registration for the camps will take place well in advance, the price for each camps will always be communicated at the given camps.

The Record

We will try to break the 30way record from 2012 during 4 days in the best place for bigway jumping in Europe, in Czech Klatovy, where they have prepared at least 2 SC-7 Skyvan for us in addition to the complete equipment. We will jump the record on 04. - 07. August 2024. The 35way record jump will be preceded by a few warm-up jumps. During these 4 days we should jump 16 jumps. After reaching the 35 way record, further record attempts will follow in larger formations, more complex jumps and sequential jumps. A smaller number of interesting jumps will be prepared for skydivers who will not be part of the first 35 way formation.

Record formation

As the first formation, we will jump 35 ways from two planes.

Planes

We will have at least two Skyvan SC-7 aircraft available, which can accommodate a maximum of 24 skydivers each. We will jump from a height of 4200 - 4500m without using artificial oxygen.

How to get into the record?

If you are convinced that also with the help of preparatory camps you will fight your way into the record lineup, fill out the registration form. After processing your registration, you will find yourself in the waiting room, which we prosaically called "Young Guns". We will closely monitor all "Young Guns" during the preparatory camps. If your performance both in the air and on the ground impresses us during the preparatory camps and you receive a good evaluation, you will fight your way to the record event.
Young Gun registration!

The Cameraflyers

How was the jump? Oh yeah!, everything went cool, headdown from the jump to the opening, 10 points at least. If you want I can tell you about it! All of us probably know how everything works out without a camera. However, a record is a record and it needs high-quality documentation, which is why we took the liberty of inviting the most qualified to join our team. Let's welcome Michal Gromnica and Jakub Sklenka. For both, camera jumps are a daily bread at Skydive Dubai, where they spend most of their skydiving lives. Together they have more than 32,000 jumps, yes you read that right more than thirty two thousand!!! We are very much looking forward to having these two fighters with us in our attempt!

• Jakub Sklenka - 18,500 jump Czech brother loving Pilsen, his child and his Valkyrie 84 like no other. Jakub also captured the Guinness record, which was a "firework" jump from the highest altitude, on his camera. As a Canopy pilot, he placed 11th at the Alabama 2022 World Games.
• Michal Gromnica - 13,500 jumps, a little more Moravian than his Czech brother, but just like Jakub, he loves Pilsen and his Leia 75 the most in his life, which he swoops roughly over the Palm and flies in numerous flocks above it;)
