Relative Work

Relative Work is now called Formation Skydiving. This site uses the terms interchangably.

Record Categories

Largest Formations

In the early years of Relative Work (RW) stars were THE formation to build. Soon jumpers realized that stars were difficult to build as the number of jumpers increased. Blots were then used to establish RW large formation records. The records for both types of formations are listed below. The two most recent large star records were both the second formation of the dive.

Largest star formations are not recognized by the FAI. Parachute History recognizes large star records because they are significant achievements.
