A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of representing the UK at the World Indoor Skydiving Championships at iFLY Montreal in Canada. It was a great experience that left me excited for the future of our growing sport.
Wayne Loxton is Director of the International Bodyflight Association, the trade body for Indoor Skydving. The premier event of the year in Wayne's world is the World Championships which have just taken place in Montreal, Canada. Here's what Wayne had to say about them:
18 years ago, the first SkyVenture Vertical Wind Tunnel was born in Orlando, FL. In April 2017, a new iFLY wind tunnel, or should we say two new tunnels, open on International Drive, Florida. "The Twins" as they are affectionately known, mark the end of one era and the dawn of another.
Ever caught yourself glazed over, after another mammoth day in the office, thinking about what is going to be your next adventure? You’ve got a date in your diary, but no plans.

In October of this year, I’ll be leading Team Volition, Britain’s Female Indoor 4-Way Formation Skydiving Team, on our travels to iFLY Montreal, Canada in October to compete at the World Indoor Skydiving Championships. Our goal is to improve on the bronze and silver medals we have won previously in Prague and Warsaw. It will be far from easy as we face stiff competition from the highly experienced and heavily funded French team.
