✈️ Meet the Team: SDC MatriX
2-Way Mixed Formation Skydiving Open
📅 At SDC: Formed in 2021 (originally as "Ew, Joey")
🪂 Team jumps: 20,000+ combined (1,400+ MFS together)
🥇 Known for: High-energy fun, being the second longest-running MFS team, and championing the creation of the Intermediate MFS division.
Who they are:
Joey, Lindsay, and Fener—a trio that proves you can be serious about competition without taking yourself too seriously. They are the driving force behind growing the MFS community and making the discipline accessible to more jumpers.
Vibe:
Think "80’s Roller Skating Jams." They bring a low-pressure, light-hearted, and occasionally chaotic energy to every event. Whether they pulling mid-air sunglasses heists or giving out surprise prize di**os at events, they keep the "fun" in fun-jumper.
What sets them apart:
They train right in the heart of the dropzone, packing for themselves and hanging with friends on the mats between loads. It’s the authentic, exhausting, and super-fun "traditional" skydiver experience.
Favorite moment:
Winning Gold in Advanced at the 2022 USPA Nationals. The team sat geared up in the loading area for an hour, refusing to back down, racing a massive storm to get the final round in right at sunset.
Team mindset:
"Strategic, Supportive, Silly." They navigate the challenges of three very different brains by taking the extra time to ensure everyone understands the dive in their own way.
Behind the scenes:
If you see them on the plane, watch out for the (very questionable) team handshake. If Fener isn't sitting nearby, don't be surprised if Joey asks you to fill in. IYKYK.
DZ fuel:
Ice cream from GSG!
Favorite part of competition day:
The ride to altitude for Round 1—holding hands and feeling that unmatched nervous energy as all the hard work is put to the test.
If you had to pick a movie title that describes your training season, what would it be?
A mix between Dumb and Dumber and Bring it On
