Formation Skydiving

FS is a super fun discipline


Speed8

A Formation Skydiving competition team contains 4 (4-way FS) or 8 (8-way FS) jumpers who make the formations, together with a freefall videographer to record the formations in-air. The videographer is a member of the team, so 4-way FS teams have 5 members and 8-way teams have 9 members (sometimes plus an alternate, too).
During a set free-fall (4way-35 seconds; 8way-50 seconds) the team performs a series of predetermined formations as many times as possible. FS attracts the most competitors of any skydiving discipline. The British Open Nationals in Formation Skydiving, which take place every summer, are the second largest in the world – only the USPA’s FS Nationals are bigger.
