  • Countdown to the British Indoor Nationals 2025 at Weembi!

    Countdown to the British Indoor Nationals 2025 at Weembi!

    It’s hard to believe that it’s been nearly a year, but as we’re only a week or so away from the British Indoor Nationals at Weembi, we wanted to share some updates with you!

    🕓 Jam-packed Schedule

    Our friends at Weembi have worked hard to pack all the excitement into just two and a half days, with the Para Indoor Skydiving Nationals kicking things off on Thursday afternoon.

    To ensure we get all teams through their rounds, Friday and Saturday will be full-on competition days, and in a change to last year’s competition, we’ll be using non-live judging to slightly shorten the days.

    💪 Inclusivity in Action

    For the first time, the final rounds of the Para Indoor Skydiving event will be integrated directly into the competition on Friday which is an exciting step forward in our mission to make tunnel flying more inclusive for everyone.

    We’ll hold the Para Indoor Skydiving medal ceremony on Friday afternoon, giving us all a chance to celebrate the Para Indoor athletes who will go on to represent GB next year, while the rest of the competition continues in the background.

    🏅 Medals for Every Winner

    You asked, we listened! After feedback from last year’s competitors, we’ve replaced the team trophies with individual medals for each winning team member. Our thanks to Weembi for helping make that happen, because every flyer deserves to take home their own piece of the podium.
