Brian Cumming
If you're a skydiver who wants to achieve your goals and dreams in the sky then I'd love to help. I'll create you a dedicated plan using proven strategies combining play, targeted training, and specific practice in the tunnel & in the sky.
I want to meet skydivers who are willing to explore flying. Who want to challenge themselves and be the best they can be. Who are willing to invest in their skills.I want to use ALL the sky & ALL the tunnel. If this sounds like you, please get in touch.

Learn bigway, the right way
The best entertainment and education per skydive.
WHO SHOULD BE DOING THIS CAMP
- Skydivers who want to get bigway current for the summer
- Skydivers who haven't done multi-plane before
- Skydivers that want to learn bigway properly
- Skydivers who want to have a fun trip. Obvs.
- Skydivers that want a reference for other events
WHO SHOULD NOT BE DOING THIS CAMP
- Skydivers who want multiple completions.
This camp isn't about completions. It's about learning the skills required in a no stress atmosphere. As soon as there is an expectation of completions, the stress increases, decisions are rushed and mistakes are more common. No stress. No blame.
You need to be aware that you will do some jumps in your comfort zone. And then you will be rotated into a slot that you are not comfortable with. 50kg people in the base? 100kg people on the outside? That's what we do. Test yourself.
There were zero completions in 2018 and 2019. Perfect. But everyone came away more confident about performing under pressure in a traditional bigway environment AND they were all smiling.
This is how you learn bigway properly.

Payments due for tunnel bookings due 73hrs before flying. I have to pay the tunnel 72hrs in advance. Private coaching is one week. If you book onto an event and can no longer make it, I will do my best to find someone to take your place. Or find someone yourself and make it happen. Just let me know. BAD WEATHER POLICY - No refunds if I have travelled to the DZ. - 25% refund if I have not travelled. - 50% refund with >7days notice. E&OE. Registration fees are your deposits. Non-refundable but can be swapped if you/we find someone to take your place. By coming on trips you are confirming that with appropriate training and encouragement you will be able to safely fly with the intended group. We will do our very best to help you. However, if you're unable to fly in the intended group safely; your approach is uncontrolled, your tracking is inefficient or your canopy control is reckless, or maybe you're just having a bad day, at some point you will be asked to stand down from the group. Everything is reported as I've been told. Be aware though that planes can break. Fuel prices can go up. Weather can be shite. Balloons can be taken out by a bird with a sharp beak. DZOs can offer to pay for a 3rd plane to carry one skydiver to altitude solely to get outside video or they can change their minds. Volcanoes, earthquakes, locust swarms, pandemics all happen. Brian is not responsible. Blah blah blah. :-)
I will treat your data as if it is my own and keep it safe as best I can. I don't collect or store unnecessary data although some registrations forms are in-depth to ensure that I can provide the strongest possible experience for you.
