Team Goals
The Current Irish Record
The current Irish 4-way records (overall meet average of 10.4 and individual round of 16 points) were set by IPC Vision at the Florida Skydiving League in 2001. That team also placed 18th at the 2001 FAI World Championships in Granada, Spain with a score of 9.8 over eight rounds. Further details on IPC Vision can be found here.
Training Plan
We train every second weekend at the Irish Parachute Club and aim to complete at least 100 jumps in total at the dropzone. This is also the location of all our ground based mental training.
We will complete at least 10 hours of tunnel time at the Bodyflight Bedford wind tunnel in the UK with coaching by Sergey Romanyuk (Russian 8-way team) and Steve Hamilton (formerly of the British National Team XL).
We will participate in a 100 jump training camp at Skydive DeLand in Florida with coaching by Shannon Pilcher (current 4-way world champion). In addition, we will do a two hour tunnel camp at the Skyventure Orlando wind tunnel.
We will participate in a 100 jump training camp at Aerograd in Kolomna, Russia with coaching by Sergey Romanyuk.
