"Satori win National Championships!!"

About Us:

Team Satori are the 3 x National Champion 4-way formation skydiving team that consist of a group of highly experienced world competition level skydivers. The team was formed in 2007 with the aim to bring together the UK's finest skydiving talents to compete at National and International level open class (male and female members) skydiving competitions. 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. In August 2010 the team won the British Nationals again with a impressive 19 point lead. The team also competed at the World Championships in Russia, set a new British record there of 47 points in time and an overall 22 point average.

Academy 2011

It has been a fantastic year for the Satori Academy and 2011 is a year we can all be extremely proud of! We have had 5 teams in the Academy this year which have been in all the four categories, Rookie, A, AA & AAA.We were pleased to see Satori Yellow competing at all the UK competitions this year, and won a Bronze Medal at the UKSL at Netheravon. Thanks again to Chris for the great write up in the Mag. It was great to see the average improving throughout the season, particularly as it was the first year in competing for Fiona, and new slots were being learnt from most of the team.Satori Purple did a great job holding it together despite a change of line up just before their final training camp before the nationals. A huge thanks to Steve Murph for stepping in at the last minute. We were particularly proud of their determination not to give up, good team spirit and positivity. Well done for a great nationals, and was so good to see how much you enjoyed the meet.Satori Green did a great job in AAA particularly as most of the team had new slots to learn with new techniques. This is not easy, particularly in AAA as not only do you need to know the entire dive pool, but having slot switchers means you need to learn two slots instead of one!Satori Red did an awesome job winning Silver at the Nationals, and Bronze at the UKSL. It was extremely tight between 2nd and 7th place where there was often only a point in it. Satori Red showed they had nerves of steel battling it out amongst the teams and we are so proud of them winning the Silver with a 12.5 average!We are also extremely proud of our Rookie team, Satori Blue. These guys only got their FS1 last year and their learning curve has been immense and their progression over the past year as been outstanding. Satori Blue won the Bronze medal, again battling it out with a number of teams for third place. Well done for showing such competitive maturity when it was so close right until the end!Thank you to all the teams who have been part of this Journey with us this year. It’s been an unforgettable year, and we hope you will be part of the Academy next year!
