My team practising our skydiving formations.

Here we are doing drills that involve doing 90 degree turns and touching hands with the person opposite. It sounds simple, but it's quite difficult. The whole point is NOT to grab, to stretch out, or hang on tightly once you have made the turn and are reaching out to the person opposite, but just to fly with good stability and remain on the same level, nice and close, and always keeping an eye on each other.

All too often, once two people have taken a grip on each other, they hold on for dear life and rely on the fact that they are holding on to stay in place - which is not very good discipline. One should be able to fly in the right position WITHOUT having to hold on!

Of course this takes loads and loads of practise! We only managed to do about 4 turns on this one!

I am the furthest right in black and pink.
