Our favourite lead coach is Andrew (AB) Barker and this year he will be joined by the legendary Craig Vaughan. Camera flyers are the magic duo Michael Young and Stephen (Spot) Tonson.

The first day will consist of some warm up 8 ways, before we move on to 16 ways and formation load bigways. There will be display jumps onto Mission Beach and we hope to do a “Day on Dunk” (weather permitting).
