Cloud Games is your chance to compete at your home dropzone June 13-15, 2025.
The cost is nothing for dropzones to host and is only $36-46 for competitors. The goal is to allow teams the opportunity to compete without the concerns and costs of traveling, so it is perfect for both pick-up teams as well as experienced teams looking for some early summer competition practice.
There are a wide variety of events offered including 3-way Rookie, 4-way FS, 8-way FS, MFS, VFS, 10-way Speed, Artistic, Wingsuit, CRW, and Sky Surfing. We have 29 dropzones registered so far and are expecting over 250 participants from around the world including USA, Puerto Rico, Canada, Mexico, Dubai, Russia, and Australia.
