4-way Formation Skydiving (4-way). The
most popular of the parachuting sports, 4-way is fast,
furious and highly competitive. Teams of 4 aerial athletes
exit the plane at 10,500 feet and race through a sequence
of formations in freefall, against the clock. Each jump
is filmed from above by a camera flyer, and this footage
is used to score the team.
In August 2009 Team Satori achieved Gold
position at the British National Skydiving Championships
at Skydive Hibaldstow. The team achieved an awesome 20.7
average, setting a new British record by beating the existing
record held British
Skydiving team Sebastian XL, a record held for
over 6 years. The team continue to look forward to the
possibility of performing at the 9th FAI European Formation
Skydiving Championships & 16th FAI World Cup of Formation
Skydiving in the Czech Republic August 30th - September
6th, 2009, where they hope to continue their record setting
performance. Satori aim to represent the UK as the British
