FLYING PHILOSOPHY

Why are you flying ?

Tayne: I have tried almost every sport there is, nothing compares with flying your body as far as the awareness you can achieve also meeting good people that share the passion for flying.
Dave: I love flying because it has an endless depth of complexity and creativity

What fascinates you about flying/indoor skydiving?

Tayne: I love the fact that there is no real finish line or end in the progression, it is just a constant pursuit to try and understand how we can move through the wind.
Dave: I am fascinated to see where the sport is pushed in the coming years, just when you think flying is reaching the apex some new techniques are developed that continue to push the boundaries
