2022 world meet complete. What an event. What a year. We started training in November last year with a hunger driven by 2 years of COVID lockdowns. 650 jumps done with 1200 planned in the wettest year in Sydneys history, many hours of tunnel, 4 days a week of training with 4.30am starts, 8 chops including one at the worlds, mid year Arizona camp, Cairns camp , arguments, hugs, hunger, absolute dedication, incredible support from our families, work, sponsors, and friends. The silver medal around our necks was the best result an Australian formation skydiving team has achieved in history, but the real reward was the personal growth we experienced as individuals and as a team.
Thank you to our families for supporting us in a very challenging year.

Thank you to iFLY Downunder for building the biggest beast of a wind tunnel and letting us turn the wind on every week.
