Your guide to Freestyle
This year, Doni Gales has been working overtime to ensure the Intermediate Freestyle categories can also fly 'compulsory' rounds, and that the compulsories are designed for intermediate or beginner flyers.
There will be 5 rounds for Intermediate flyers, with 3 'free routines' (you'll fly the same free routine in all 3 free rounds). F-C-F-C-F. See below for Doni's amendments to the FAI rules for intermediate flyers, along with videos for all 6 compulsory moves. All videos contain the open, intermediate and beginner versions.

Dynamic Flying
The newest discipline to be added to the FAI rules. Flyers will need to be signed off to fly head down for this face-paced race against the clock. Both D2W and D4W will be speed rounds only.
D2W (inter): Great for those competing in dynamic for the first time.
D2W (open): Great for experienced dynamic flyers and those splitting a 4-way team into 2 pairs.
D4W (open): The best of the best! Their will be a lot of instructors and coaches competing here.
Solo Speed: For flyers that love to fly fast!
Each category will fly 6 rounds and be scored for each (rather than a knockout battle). D2W Inter will use S1 / S3 / S5, V1 / V3 / V5 and M1 / M2 / M6 - all other rules remain the same as open.
