Hello Everyone and Welcome to the first in our series of monthly Newsletters.
To easily identify & contact your State Mentor and find events happening around the country, scroll to the bottom for their updates.
There are number of initiatives underway headed by our small dedicated Leadership Team and State Mentors all designed to get us upskilled and well prepared for our new assault on our Aussie National Large Formation Skydiving Record.
We have redesigned / upgraded our Aussiebigways website,the new version should be up very soon and will contain all of the current information and some ! Many thanks to Peter Franklin and Ben Eckersley for their fantastic work here on our behalf – you guys rock !
Tracey Basman as our National Event coordinator is on fire and the big big news for 2016 is Dan BC coming down to run a Big Way Event in early December for us – cool !
Melissa Harvie has put together an awesome “Skills and Event Guide” package for all levels of Big Way Skydiving and with support from LG, has developed an awesome Tunnel “Super Charge Program” – which I am doing in July this year.
Our State Mentors are also providing local information and opportunities please read our newsletter and provide us with feedback as to how we can improve it.
Our journey is underway now – ONLY 3 years and month and a bit until we will be in Perris, come join us, get involved, get motivated and get in the air !
Blue Ones,
Greg
National Perspective – Tracey Basman
Exciting times are upon us in the lead up to our next Aussie Record attempt. We will build a strong Aussie Team before we even set foot in Perris Valley, USA in May 2019, with all the Aussieness we can bring!
How are we going to prepare ourselves for an Aussie 150way successfully completed formation, jumping from up to 8 aircraft?

State Mentors UpdateTaking the First Step
Aussie Bigways highlights the importance of Star Crests in the Bigway journey. A Star Crest day at Pinjarra this month thanks to the support of WA Skydiving Academy showcases the results. The June long weekend will see Simone Bambach coaching an 8 way weekend. We already have all the slots taken but if you register and there is a cancellation you might be in luck.  For the latest events in NSW, the Bigways Event Calendar will have all the details – click here to view events  Queenslanders can look forward to a weekend on the 9 & 10 April with David Loncasty in fine coaching form.  In SA we run 4-6 place aircraft at training drop zones. I am currently setting up some 4 way teams to promote skill development in that area and more solid flying from participants. We have Anne-Marie Jarzebowski and Stricko on board to coach the teams. Read more….
