Get ready my friends, from October 23rd to 24th Prague is hosting the 1st FAI World Championships 2015 of Indoor Skydiving.
##Competition News
Yesterday the competitors had their Official Training Period. It was nice to see the young flyers at their practice time, the future of our sport is in front of our eyes ! Today the event started with the Freestyle, it was a little late starting because there was a problem with the streaming so the schedule changed a bit.

Other news – Hayabusa got their equipment stolen. The guys entered their Military vehicle last night/early this morning at the parking of Hotel Duo and took away a creeper a bag with Jumpsuits, helmet, shoes and 2 jackets. Seems they caught one of the “criminals” and even have one picture of them walking in the street with the skydiving jacket.

#How it works
The discipline of freestyle (inside the wind tunnel)
Generally speaking is comprised of Compulsory Routines (2 rounds) and Free Routines (5 rounds).
#SCORING
Free Routine: a routine composed of moves chosen entirely by the Performer.
Judges give the following judging criteria a score, between 0,0 and 10,0 taking into account the following guidelines;
##Technical:
· Difficulty: The degree of difficulty of all moves and transitions in the Flight. Difficulty includes, but not limited to, the ability to move vertical and horizontal, and perform multiple rotations in a belly-down, back-down, head-down, head-up and/or sideways orientation and any other possible orientation as well as the ability to combine technical skills and create complex effects of movement.
· Precision, control: Ability of the Performer to demonstrate body control skill (including pointed toes where appropriate), steadiness and appropriate control of position in the air column.
##Presentation:
· Creativity : Routine composition is original with new moves, original choreography and/or new presentation of old moves. Routine has a nice flow with a definite beginning and a definite ending and appropriate use of working time. Routine is aesthetically pleasing to watch.
· Delivery: Appropriate use of space, presenting to the Judges.
· Appropriate use of time: (60 seconds)
Compulsory Routine: a routine composed of three Compulsory Sequences and other moves at the Performer’s discretion.
Judges give a score for the Performer (between 0,0 and 10,0) for Presentation (as per Free Routine) and for each of the three (3) Compulsory Sequences the judge will give more or less points depending of how well or bad the move is performed. Is it the move performed flawlessly with no noticeable mistakes or with medium or major mistakes.
