We are sad to announce that, after seven years as a team, Eclipse will not be continuing. We have had some amazing experiences along the way, and we now have the opportunity to reflect on the fantastic memories we have of an epic journey.
We'd like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has supported, helped, & encouraged us, to all the alternates who have flown with us, and to all the teams (past and present) that we've battled against at UKSLs, World Challenge, British Nationals, ESL, and World Cups. Thanks also to Skydive Hibaldstow ( ) which has, year-on-year, been brilliant at accommodating us when we're training and getting us in the air. We'd also like to say thank you to all the coaches who have worked with us over the years, and especially to the coaches who we have worked with most closely, taking a team of dubious discipline and crafting us into a borderline-respectable 4-way team; we couldn't have done it without you, Katie Woods, Pete Allum, and Steve Hamilton.
We know that there are so many thank you's to be said that this could start to sound like an Oscars acceptance speech, but we really are grateful for all the help and words of support that have motivated us and helped us to stay together for as long as we did.
Finally, we'd like to thank the sponsors, past and present, who showed faith in us and helped us to achieve what we did, a big thank you to;
Vigil AAD
Rob Colpus @ Symbi Suits
Twinwoods Adventure
Aerodyne
Unfortunately every rollercoaster must eventually to come to an end. Some of the team may go on to compete in new teams, and some will start new adventures outside of 4-way. All five of us, however, remain close friends, and will look back with extremely fond memories.
Blue skies,
Ben, Jenny, Jonny, Martin, & Simon
