Star Crest Skydiver's Guide

The Star Crest Skydiver’s Guide is written for licensed skydivers participating in Star Crest and speed star group jumps. The guide works to build skills in small-way formation skydives with 6 to 16 jumpers. Small-way formations range from quick and simple speed-stars, to organized SCR (Star Crest Recipient) jumps, to free-fly and hybrid formations such as vSCR (vertical Star Crest Recipient) jumps. Star Crest formation jumps provide a means for skydivers to learn and improve their skills in group relative work. These basic skills open the door for more advanced activities such as sequential relative work, bigway formations, and other forms of group relative work performed today. Each Star Crest award recognizes an individual’s increased skills in working with a group of jumpers. This guide provides information for participating in small-way group skydives, templates to help leaders organize group events, plus background reference materials and resources.
