Competitive Hybrid

Recommended Posts

I originally posted a request for guidance in creating a standard for judging record hybrid skydiving attempts in the Bonfire section, but since no input was forthcoming I thought I'd try here.

First let me apologize to any RW jumpers who may feel they are being excluded in this request due to it being posted in the Freeflying section. I simply chose it because as I understand it freeflying incorporates flying on all axises and therefore is inclusive of flat flying. Also, I believe that Hybrid RW may fall outside of the traditional Hybrid (if there is such a thing) which I would like establish a standard for assuming one does not already exist.

That said if ANYONE knows of an already established standard for judging hybrid record attempts (even an unwritten one) please let me know so that I can stop wasting my/your time. Thus far I have only searched the forums on this website.

It's a bit rough but here is what I have so far. I know my grammar sucks please feel free to correct it.

The attempt may not start at an altitude any higher than approximately 14,000 feet above ground level.

The formation must consist of an equal or greater (up to twice) the number of hangers and stingers to people flat flying.

The formation of all flat flyers in the base and all hanging hangers must be held for at least 10 seconds. All stinging may only be counted while it is built. This includes consecutive base completions within the same skydive.

Stingers must be either head down, sitting, or standing (which includes standing on the base)

A sting must be held for 3 seconds to be counted. One sting per stinger is required or the attempt is disqualified (although more are strongly encouraged). A stinger may sting a stinging stinger:P

Obviously there must be judgable video of all of it.


Like I said, it is rough.

Finally if/when this is completed is there a group the final draft should be submitted to or should it just become an unofficial dropzone.com standard?

Do you mean "everyone must be on at the same time"?



No. I'm thinking So long as the stinger can make at least one 3 second dock on the built base (with hangers hanging) at some point during the skydive their part is successful.
