EXPERIENCE
BigWay Fun 2017 - Czech Republic 45ways
I was one of the LO team at BigWay Fun 2017 at Skydive Pink Klatovy in Czech Republic. 45 skydivers travelled from Northern Europe to join us. Yes I'm biased but this is my most favourite event video ever.

BigWay Beginners - Nethers, Langar & Hib
BWB has been running since Caroline Hughes and Skydive Choreography came up with the concept. We teach the basics in a no blame environment whilst providing testing slots for intermediate and experienced skydivers at the same time. We can also cater for both beginner cameraflyers and load organisers and look to provide a multi-plane jump experience on the Sunday. BWB has run at Nethers, Langar and Hibaldstow in the past. This photo taken over Hib. Photo by Jon Trevor.
Bigway Beginners X
Objectives:
- If you’re a beginner and you want to learn about FS bigways in a no blame atmosphere then this event is for you.
- If you’re at an intermediate level and you want to brush up on the skills you have, this is the event for you. If you want to dust off the winter rust this event is for you.
- If you’re an experienced skydiver and want to put something back into the sport and help out the newer jumpers learn how you did, this event IS FOR YOU.
REVIEW: Event capacity: 45-50. Registrations: 68. This event was over-subscribed and a waiting list was run. Approx 20 skydivers attempted their first multi-plane formation. Some of the testimonials are at the bottom of this page.
Tux Jumps - Perris
2009

Wingsuit World Record - Large Formation
I got to leave the RH trail plane last and dive down to the 61way formation. So much fun. This is my PoV.
Cameraflyers
I work with some wonderful sky flying photographers.
Paul Rimmington
A northern legend
The ultimate team player. A total asset. Can't do enough to help. Both before the event, during and after. Always gets the shot I need to coach with, no messing around. Paul has been filming my groups since 2016. Rubbish at replying to requests for profile pictures though.
HIRE HIM
Photo by *me*. Hahahahaha
Martin Skrbel
The most enthusiastic
A relatively new skydiver but loves to fly and loves to film. Devotes time and money to being a better flyer and a better photographer. The most helpful person you could meet, he even wins prizes for being helpful, and then isn't there to collect the prize because he's left the DZ to help someone.
HIRE HIM
Photo by me.
Emily Aucutt
Pure fun
Emily is just a bundle of pure fun and great to work with. Her enthusiasm is infectious and her willingness to listen and learn is top notch. She was British Skydiving Instructor of the Year 2019 and she applies herself to her camera flying just as thoroughly.
HIRE HER

Pete Harries
Service with a smile
Pete has the biggest smile and some wonderfully thoughtful and intriguing ideas about how to incorporate video into the skydive. His smile and attitude is infectious.

Dave Clarke
A pro
Dave gets flown all around the world to film events by some of the top FS LOs in the world. His flying, camera and editing skills are top notch. Another level up.
If you can put up with his terrible jokes you should HIRE HIM

Tom Shorten
Multi-disciplined
Tom appears to be a natural flyer but he works hard on his skills. Angle, belly, freefly, he can film it ALL. You want him to carve head down around a formation with it all in frame? Princess is who you go to. A regular cameraflyer for Zion FF at their events. Also a BPA CSI, TI, AFFI and USPA TI and AFFI.
HIRE HIM
