Team Outbreak Vertical

Outbreak Freefly originated as an artistic freefly team in 2005, taking the silver medal at the UK nationals that year under the name Space Euphoria. Following this success the team went on to win two UK national titles, take 6^th place at the 2006 World Parachuting Championships in Gera, Germany, and a silver medal at the 2007 World Cup in Stupino, Russia.

Original team members Andy Newell and Mike Carpenter have since moved on in search of new challenges, however Jim continues to run the Outbreak Freefly School at Skydive Spain from September through to June, as well as competing in the new discipline for 4-way VFS. Jim was a member of the winning team at the 1st European competition held in Chalon sur Saone, France, in September 2007 (UKVertical), came 3rd in the Arizona Arsenal VFS meet at Skydive Arizona in April 2008 (OutbreakVertical) and 3rd at the VFS World Cup in the Czech Republic, 2009.
