YOUR route from FS1 to Brit200. How to get on bigway skydives and stay on them
You need a bunch of skills to get onto a bigway skydive. But just because you’ve been on one it doesn’t mean you’ve made it. Brian will list the 7 things you need to know to be on bigway skydives and the 6 things you need to be good at it. Plus he’ll explain how to think like a load organsier to help you avoid making the mistakes that will stop you from getting invited back.
Brian Cumming is a professional skydiver and tunnel coach since cutting away in 2015. He’s a co-host of Radio Skydive UK and with 100k+ downloads it is Europe’s #1 podcast. He’s an AFF instructor and runs events at DZs across the UK and Europe, such as the popular Rookie Rumble and his multi-plane BigWay Skills Camps. He competed at 4way FS for nine seasons and represented the UK at two World Cups. Since his first taste of FS bigway he’s been wondering why the UK National record set in 1999 has never been bettered and it’s that fire that still burns brightly today. He has a World Record in FS Bigway and also one in wingsuit bigway but at flight line still hears “I didn’t know you wingsuited” quite a lot. When asked why he organises so many events, despite skydivers being a nightmare, he replies “I don’t know, it’s like a scab, you know you shouldn’t but you just can’t stop picking it”.
