Britchicks8

All female formation sky diving team

Profile: Brit Chicks8 is an all female formation Skydiving team who compete at World and National Level and in 2009 and 2010 they were awarded Silver at the British Nationals.

The team is formed of eight very talented Female Skydivers from the UK and their super talented cameraman. They are one of the few all female 8 way teams in the world, in which this sport has no separate classes for Female 8 way.

Amongst them they hold British and World records as well as many more British National medals in many other skydiving disciplines.

They are a very focused team who are very passionate about their sport and are committed to being the best they can be but at the same time love to have fun. They work hard both mentally and physically to keep themselves in peak condition for their training and competition season.

Following attendance of the Skydiving World Cup in Germany during summer 2011 the team placed 4^th in Europe making them now 5^th in the World rakings. They were aiming for Gold at this year’s British Nationals in August which in turn would mean they can then represent Great Britain at the Skydiving World Meet in Dubai in 2012.

In the end the Brit chicks 8, had a fantastic British Nationals, and came away with an 11.9 average which is 3 points up on last year They were so close to the best team in the UK, finishing only 12 points behind them!

Testimonial: Shell Meakins says “We use various types of Buff when training and competing both in the indoor wind tunnels and when Skydiving.

The Polar Buff is a great piece of snug wear for jumping in Chilly UK weather, keeps our necks warm yet the Original Buff is ideal for our warmer weather training when we need to keep the sun off our necks (they are handy when wet too to keep us cool) and is a great way to keep our hair our of our eyes when we have our helmets on!

We love our Buff Wear wicking tees too, again fabulous for training in hot weather when worn under our jumpsuits.

The Buff products have been far and wide with us as we attend many events, competitions and training camps in the UK, Europe and USA.
