Freefly (FF) Coaching & Load Organising

The Skydive Airkix Freefly Programme 

What sets Skydive Airkix apart from any other European DZ is the ability to accelerate your learning curve by cross training with the same coach in the sky as well as in the wind tunnel.

 

Skydive Airkix offers experienced and professional, full time instructors that are involved in bodyflight 365 days per year to help you reach your goals faster for less overall cost.

 

Skydive Airkix is now also the home to team axis21, multiple Freestyle World Champions and Freefly World record holders. Yoko Okazaki and Axel Zohmann are available for coaching throughout the year.

 

Coaching programs are available for individuals or teams who are looking to excel beyond their current flying ability regardless of skill level. We offer coaching for Freefly, Freestyle, Tracking, Camera-flying and Big-ways. Personal coaching includes dirtdiving, pre-brief and comprehensive video debriefs. We recommend to each student a minimum of five jumps to start with. Follow up and practice new skills and then continue the progression with the coach.
