FREESTYLE

Loops and twists, poses and spins while falling at speed starting from 180 km/h up to more than 300 km/h! Freestyle skydiving combines the dynamics of gymnastics with the elegance of dance in an aerial performance. The freestylist shows a wide variety of skills, using axes in all three dimensions.
The first international freestyle skydiving competition was held in 1990, and under the direction of the World Freestyle Federation. This organisation created a set of competition rules and organised championships under her auspices.

Freestyle skydiving consist of a series of compulsory and free routines performed during 7 skydives. Teams consist of a performer and a cameraflyer and have separate male and female categories. The freefall images of the cameraflyer are used for judging the performances. Judging criteria are difficulty, execution, artistic and camerawork.
In 1994, the International Parachuting Commission (IPC) established a working group in order to incorporate freestyle into her activities. This resulted next year in the creation of the IPC committee for freestyle. The WFF rules were adopted and the 1st World Cup and 1st World Championships of freestyle and skysurfing were held in Efes, Turkey, in 1996 and 1997 respectively. Top teams are currently training full time and making more than 1000 jumps a year.
