Hi to all,

Well, It's not long now to go before we start the big way camp and I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone. Let's plan on being ready to meet up on Monday morning at 8:30 in front of the club house!

Some of you might know Chromy from DeLand or from other events around the world, or met him during the Basic Camp some years back - One thing is for sure... If you've ever met Chromy you won't forget him! Chromy started jumping in South Africa at the age of 16 in 1982 and has since acquired around 11500 jumps. Chromy has competed all around the world at national events and FAI sanctioned competitions and is well known as a coach and competitor.

Besides his many thousands of jumps, and medals - Chromy is a fun guy to be around, and he is always willing to learn new languages as he goes. A week in a foreign country usually means he will have acquired a smattering of the local language and certainly enough to make you laugh at some of the funny things he says.

Chromy has significant experience in coaching jumpers and teams and has participated as an organizer for many years now - He has partaken in the Airspeed challenges in Spain and has good sound technical skills to pass on during this very challenging formation we have planned. You can check out his profile on the organizers page and read a little more about him.... Hopefully you're all signed up and ready to join us for a great event the first 2 weeks of July.

Well folks, finally time to reveal the formation we plan on building on the final day of Week 2. This formation was inspired by long time legendary competitor and multiple world champion, "Craig Girard" Craig, recently gave up his place on Airspeed to pursue other new adventures after a long and successful career in Formation Skydiving. I thought this would be a great formation for us to try and build over Gryttjom this summer - and was a very successful formation built at during one of the Arizona Challenge's. It's a tough formation with a lot of outfacing positions and the tendency to float when not flying your slot. I'm sure it'll be a great accomplishment for all those that are attending if we manage to fly this baby over Gryttjom in July!

Nadja Lönnroth has officially confirmed her participation as a co-organizer for Big Way Sweden 2011. Known for her efforts as a competitive 4 way jumper, Nadja has also partaken in the Women's World record as well as the being part of the Scandinavian contingent on the 400-way world record set in Udon Thani, Thailand in 2006.

Nadja's experience from partaking in these types of large formations will be valuable to all of us during the Big Way Camp. For those of you that don't know Nadja personally, I'm sure you'll immediately like her fun and helpful attitude towards other jumpers. With Nadja being well known in Finland maybe we can expect a strong contingent of Finnish jumpers joining us for Big Way Sweden 2011.... Warm up the Sauna!

Hi to all,

We have divided the camp into two (2) separate weeks this summer. Both weeks aim to be fantastic events for everyone who is involved.

Week 1 - (4-8th July)

The first week will be geared towards less experienced jumpers wanting to learn the intricacies of large formation skydiving with the purpose of getting onto the some of the cooler and better large formations and formation camps. The focus will be on safety and enjoyment - This will also be a great place for those more experienced jumpers wanting to get a little more current for Week 2's challenges... Those participants of the 2nd week who would like to come and join us for some less challenging but good pointers and reminders would be more than welcome.

Week 2 - (11-15th July)

Aims to be an exciting week where every jumper is challenged to the max! Based on the concept of the Arizona Challenge we will start the week with some smaller groups, doing different and challenging jumps, aiming to help prepare us for the bigger challenge at the end of the week. This also gives us (Organizers) the chance to place people in the best slots for the final formation's success. There will be an emphasis on success, enjoyment and safety with the end goal being building something that will be challenging, fun and never been built in Scandinavia before.

• Where: Gryttjom - Skydive Stockholm
• When: Week 1 (4-8th July) & Week 2 (11-15th July)
