The day after the record was broken again with a nice 42 way. Both jumps were judged and approved by FAI judges.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The preliminary request towards FAI was done the week after the records and on 27 August 2015, all documents were transferred to FAI Sports Commissions.<br \/>\nSince then \u201cFAI record ID 17572\u201d (33 way) and \u201cFAI record ID 17573\u201d (42 way) are listed as \u201cdossier under review\u201d at the FAI\/IPC record website [here](<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fai.org\/ipc-records\">http:\/\/www.fai.org\/ipc-records<\/a> website). (This together with many other established records which are still \u201con hold\u201d).<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>All participants had to get an FAI license. Most of them had to pay for this to their federation. Most of participants spend a lot of money just to travel to the event.<br \/>\nThe organizers invested to have official judges.  <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Willy Boeykens\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/\/09c67e60-31a4-4944-8729-120ae77acfa0.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Today when I write this open letter we are less than a week away from the 1st anniversary of this world record, and still we don\u2019t have an official recognition from FAI. I believe all participants have the right to get their record approved in a shorter time than 1 year. As a comparison, 2 weeks after the latest world record attempts Wingsuit formation no grip in Perris California (October 2016), all participants received their official statement as National Record Holders by USPA. If USPA can do this in 2 weeks, FAI should be able to do this in 1 or 2 months, no?<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Blue ones<br \/>\nWilly Boeykens<br \/>\n(Organizer of the world record attempts, Moorsele June 2015)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following letter has just been sent to the FAI, the international governing body for all air sports.
