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.
