The Bodyflight Bedford World Challenge 2009 is the biggest date in the UK skydiving calendar. Your brand could benefit from association with one of the newest and most exciting sports events - and following its success this year, it's a proven media attention-grabber too!

Since the first Bodyflight World challenge in 2006 media interest has steadily increased every year. The 2008 competition saw coverage on Fox news, ESPN, Sky Sports, ITN, Yahoo.com, Anglia news, Transworld sport, Airsports World, the BBC and in the print media as well.

The competition in April 06 attracted media and participants from around the world including the UK, USA, Sweden, Belgium, France and Spain, many teams of which are current National champions. The 2007 event grew on this success attracting twice as many teams in both disciplines; many of whom were already national and world champions. The 2008 event was the largest yet, with over 200 competitors from all over the world. The number of sponsors grew as well, with almost all of the sponsors returning for another year's sponsorship after the success of the 2007 event.

The 'Your Brand Here' Bodyflight World Challenge 2009 will take place on the 4th and 5th of April 2009. The Freefly and 4-way events will run concurrently over the weekend. The FS category will see teams of four people completing as many pre-determined formations as possible within a specified working time; whilst the Freefly category consists of teams of two wowing the judges with their artistic routines and compulsory maneuvers.

This is a brilliant opportunity for sponsors as the inside of the vertical wind tunnel, the event itself and all publicity material can be branded and will feature in almost every shot, unlike actual skydiving events.
