This Event was added to the Sky on Stage platform when we realized most wind-tunnels as well as skydiving centers were in continuous lock-down.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Background<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I started brainstorming about Sky on Stage a few years ago. I thought it would be good to offer a contest format that allowed skydivers around the world to participate without having to travel. The idea was to offer a stage to show some creative flying.&nbsp; I saw the games as a motivational tool to inspire skydivers to make up teams, explore their creative side, no matter what skills they had. Have fun while working to a goal, learn in the process. Basically, an online air show, spiced up by the playing of a game. Something alternative with the main focus on the the creative side of flying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Assessors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the wish to connect our sport\/art with other sports\/arts, I involved two different panel of assessors, from inside and outside skydiving:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Expert \u2013 E-Panel<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One panel, the E-panel, consisted of experts in the disciplines they were assessing (mainly ex competitors plus few FAI rated judges).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Artistic \u2013 A-Panel<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A second panel consisting professional in other sports or arts, the A-panel of non skydivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Assessors had about six days to watch all the choreographies, as many times as they wanted, then finalize their rankings, from favorite to less favorite. No notes. Separate rankings, the one from the E-panel and the Overall, which is the E and A panel rankings combined, were honored as separate results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, last year, when I was about to launch <a href=\"https:\/\/skyonstage.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sky on Stage<\/a>, as you know, the world suddenly entered in lockdown. I am happy we kept going, although it made the organization harder, as this experience was more needed than ever, to show some inspirational flying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Routines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyone who is interested in reviewing the team\u2019s routines, they are all published on <a aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCiaS3AFJGthi8OxQifFHHNw\/playlists\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sky on Stage Youtube Channel playlists<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Event 1 \u2013&nbsp; Sky on Stage 2020&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teams had from 15<sup>th<\/sup> June till 31<sup>st<\/sup> December 2020 to send to Sky on Stage one non-edited video of a free routine of their choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Team Coralie&amp;Greg  - Sky on Stage 2020 - Freefly\/freestyle 2 way\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Lgr6AcDEIh8?list=PLvlpoLAwLy5fJ0cxiis-uXDpQpz4UGENZ\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Freefly\/freestyle 2-way winners &#8211; Team Coralie &amp; Greg\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Freefly\/freestyle 2-Way \u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>First place: Team Coralie &amp; Greg&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Performer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/coralie-in-the-sky\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Coralie Boudreault<\/a>, cameraflyer Greg Crozier, both from France. Greg is well known in the skydiving community as he is also part of the World Champion Freefly Team: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/catching-up-with-airwax-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AirWax<\/a>. Coralie is a really talented young flyer training freestyle both in the sky as well as in the wind-tunnel. She is as graceful as powerful. This Team convinced both the experts as well as the artist\/athletes\u2019 panels.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Second place: E-panel and 3<sup>rd<\/sup> Overall &#8211; Team Max Martin &amp; Will Penny&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Max and Will presented a very different flying-style compared to Coralie and Greg. Their routine showed a beautiful line flown extremely smoothly and cleanly. Technically outstanding, yet harmonious. Max is an amazing flyer both in the wind-tunnel as well as in the sky and Will\u2019s filming work need\u2019s no introduction.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Third place: E-panel and 2<sup>nd<\/sup> Overall &#8211; Team Leonid Shtivel &amp; Nikita Panov<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leonid only started skydiving in 2019 and has under 200 jumps in total. He is an accomplished Indoor Freestyler who recently placed third at Wind Games 2020 and just now, won 1<sup>st<\/sup> place at Sky on Stage Indoor freestyle and 3<sup>rd<\/sup> Place in Indoor Throwback. He is the lucky winner of the Peter Pan Award, a special prize offered to the flyer who took part in most of the games and placed best Overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nikita and Leonid recently started an Indoor Dynamic 2-way team as well; creating a Freestyle team together was the natural step for them. Nikita is new to cameraflying, she showed a nice steady and clear framing that encountered appreciation from most of the assessors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4<sup>th<\/sup> Place: E-Panel&nbsp;&#8211; Giovannini &amp; Tondelli<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, lockdowns did not allow this team to keep jumping together, they submitted a fun jump with smooth flying at fast speeds, that did not pass unobserved by the expert assessors. Luca Tondelli has been for years in the national freefly Italian team competing at world championships, Luca Giovannini is a professional skydiving coach as well as wind-tunnel instructor. We are longing to see what they will create with more training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4<sup>th<\/sup> place: Overall &#8211; Team Cricket Freestyle<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Team Cricket Freestyle with Ena Rickert filmed by Anthony Mali\u00e8. This is a newly-created team that hoped to compete at French nationals this year. With very little jumping together, Ena and Anthony created a nice choreography; balanced and well-presented. Ena, besides skydiving, trains in the wind-tunnel and has background in several different sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2way-freestyle-TeamCricket-PerformerEnaRickertAnthonymali\u00e8-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32817\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2way-freestyle-TeamCricket-PerformerEnaRickertAnthonymali\u00e8-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2way-freestyle-TeamCricket-PerformerEnaRickertAnthonymali\u00e8-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2way-freestyle-TeamCricket-PerformerEnaRickertAnthonymali\u00e8-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2way-freestyle-TeamCricket-PerformerEnaRickertAnthonymali\u00e8-1536x866.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2way-freestyle-TeamCricket-PerformerEnaRickertAnthonymali\u00e8-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2way-freestyle-TeamCricket-PerformerEnaRickertAnthonymali\u00e8-860x484.jpg 860w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2way-freestyle-TeamCricket-PerformerEnaRickertAnthonymali\u00e8.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Freefly\/freestyle 2-way, 4th place &#8211; Team Cricket Freestyle with Ena Rickert and Anthony Mali\u00e8<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Special mention<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many of the other teams stood out. Team Spit Fire from Italy were in 5<sup>th<\/sup> place with a nice performance by Michela Chiusano and cameraflyer David Cusanelly. This team has lots of potential for the future and we hope they will continue training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Team Troy &amp; Johannes, performer Troy Rodway, cameraflyer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/catching-up-with-johannes-bergfors\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Johannes Bergfors<\/a>. Troy and Johannes decided to do some training jumps together last summer, as they say, for the sake of self-development. Both are extremely expert skydivers indoor and outdoor. This team explored an artistic way of filming in zoom mode to create an emotional, dramatic effect.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Team Lazy Bird, with Yulia Voronova filmed by Mahle M\u00fchling and Team Duo Cazzuto, Patricia D\u00fcttingler filmed by Francisco Otero, were much less experienced than the other teams, but both created a fun routine that many appreciated and enjoyed, especially in the A-panel of assessors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/skysurf-KebePHRaymondAdams-WEB-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32815\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/skysurf-KebePHRaymondAdams-WEB-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/skysurf-KebePHRaymondAdams-WEB-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/skysurf-KebePHRaymondAdams-WEB-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/skysurf-KebePHRaymondAdams-WEB-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/skysurf-KebePHRaymondAdams-WEB.jpg 1720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Skysurf winners &#8211; Team American Skydiver \u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Skysurf<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Skysurfing kind of disappeared from the skydiving scenery since many years. There are only very few skydivers in the world flying a surf-board these days. With Sky on Stage I wanted to create a place to show skysurfing again.&nbsp; I never skysurfed myself, though I always enjoyed very much watching it. I feel so honored and happy we had 3 entries and had the chance to revive this spectacular discipline!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1<sup>st<\/sup> place: Team American Skydiver &#8211; Skysurfer K\u0113be San, cameraflyer Darryl Dubiel&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">K\u0113be is a skysurfer with high level of experience. His repertoire of moves is at the very top. He chose to perform one the aces in his pocket: an incredibly fast helicopter. Helicopters generate a lot of G-Force; it\u2019s easy to get out of control when your vision field closes and your blood is pushed to your extremities. When I asked K\u00e8be why this choice he revealed to me that in spirituality spirals are symbol of healing energy. With this jump his intention was to send healing energy to Earth in this time of pandemic. Thank you K\u00e8be and Darryl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2<sup>nd<\/sup> place: Team Berlin Standard&nbsp;&#8211; Skysurfer Bj\u00f6rn Rantzsch, cameraflyer Jocke Melin<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jocke is an experienced skydiver who used to skysurf and freestyle in the good old times \u263a, Bjorn started skysurfing in 2017 and has now about 500 skysurf jumps. They met at their local DZ and easily connected. A lovely element in the jump is a nicely flown curve with Jocke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3<sup>rd<\/sup> place: Team Mr Squiggles &#8211; Skysurfer James Connelly, cameraflyer Matt Anderson<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both are from Australia; James just recently started skysurfing.

They are the current wingsuit acro champions and recently won, as invited team, at the first French Nationals. Jenna and Jarno fly harmoniously and precisely together and Ren\u00e9\u2019s filming skills are outstanding.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2<sup>nd<\/sup> place: Pteam Pterodactyl&nbsp;&#8211; Performers Laurel Hargis and Andrew Velasquez, cameraflyer Alex Swindle.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This team, based in Arizona , started only recently training together and have a bit more than 100 training jumps as a team. They were supposed to show this same free routine at the US nationals this past year, but the competition got cancelled.

I chose freestyle, because it&#8217;s the most spectacular and artistic.\u00a0Flying in the tunnel and in the sky both are fantastic, it&#8217;s great fun!&#8221;\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2<sup>nd<\/sup> Place E-Panel: a tie between Sam Stenzel and Chloe Dony.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sam is from Minneapolis and recently turned 16. He is a competitive gymnast training 20 hours a week in between school work. He discovered indoor skydiving in 2014 and has now about 20 hours wind tunnel time.&nbsp; He tells us:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0<em>\u201cI love learning new skills, the feeling of being almost weightless when doing flips, and just the fun of moving fast.

Her father is a tunnel instructor. She did her first flight aged 4 but she didn\u2019t particularly enjoy it, she even cried a little bit. Only couple of years later she felled in love with it. In 2017 as a spectator at Wind Games, Chloe saw Freestyle and told her father she would love to be there one day \u2013 and so she is! The routine she presented at Sky on Stage is really nice, her flying fun and entertaining from start to end, even though she revealed she found out about this contest only at the last moment so did not have time to train and had to improvise.

Assessors admitted it was not easy to come up with a ranking as they liked all choreographies in a different way, making it difficult to decide which one they enjoyed most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1<sup>st<\/sup> place: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/catching-up-with-sydney-kennett\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sydney Kennett<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sydney presented her beautiful routine from Wind Games 2020. It was a pleasure enjoying this outstanding performance once more. You can watch it many times and never get bored. Top class, inspirational performance!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2<sup>nd<\/sup> place: Malachi DeAth<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Malachi\u2019s choreography style, movements, speed and interpretation matched nicely the music choice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He kept us hooked from start to finish and left us with a feeling of fun and enthusiasm.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3<sup>rd<\/sup> place: Leonid Shtivel<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leonid performance was quite different in style compared to Sydney and Malachi. Equally nice in its composition and elements though in a completely different way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4<sup>th<\/sup> place: Olga Bakulina<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Olga presented her performance \u201c5<sup>th<\/sup> Element\u201d.

All the elements are present in this choreography;&nbsp; creativity, rhythm, technical flying, synchronicity among the flyers, clean presentation, surprise, excitement, fun. Both Vince and Yohann, besides being among the top freefly and freestyle skydivers in the world, have backgrounds in gymnastics and are true acrobats in the air as well as on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2<sup>nd<\/sup> place E-Panel, 3rd Overall: Team Babylon 2012 &#8211; Cathy Bouette, Virginie Bouette, Will Penny<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A technical routine, nicely choreographed with a combination of interesting, creative and challenging moves like the blind trace to just mention one. It\u2019s just a pleasure to see Cathy and Ninie flying together! I personally loved this routine very much; it has a special touch and energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3<sup>rd<\/sup> place E-Panel, 2<sup>nd<\/sup> Overall: Team Spaceland Anomaly 2007 &#8211; Trent Alkek, Jed Lloyd, Stephen Boyd<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spaceland Anomaly are known for their inspirational routines and creative moves, such as the &#8220;gooch to gooch&#8221; where they fly in mixed orientations using the burble to help regulate speeds. With this same routine they won US nationals back in 2007. They say that one of the secrets to have a successful routine is to always include at least one crowdpleaser move.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4<sup>th<\/sup> place E-Panel:&nbsp;Team Freefly Italy 2006 &#8211; Luca Tondelli, Paul Seccomandi, Manuel Basso<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I personally enjoyed this routine a lot, clean flowing with technical elements which didn\u2019t lack in creativity. Honesty they showed a flying quite advanced for the time. With this same routine the Team won 3<sup>nd<\/sup> place at freefly world championships in 2006<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4<sup>th<\/sup> place Overall: Team J\u00e9rem &amp; Cyrill &#8211; J\u00e8r\u00e8m Saint Jean, Cryll Padieu, Robert Raavk<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">J\u00e8r\u00e8my is an awesome flyer from France known as part of Team Los Gringos, training and organizing skills camps and workshops both in the wind-tunnel and the sky. Early last spring I had the chance to explain J\u00e8r\u00e8m the sky on stage concept, he really liked it and has been very supportive since then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They submitted a nice balanced routine with cool visual and nice variety. We are longing forward to see how this Team will evolve in time!

Became Freestyle world champion in 1993, Freefly Champion at SSI pro-tour in 1996, Freefly World Champion in 2001. His list of achievements is very long in all the artistic skydiving disciplines both in the position as cameraflyer and performer. This I believe was Olav\u2019s last world championship competition. I remember he didn\u2019t train much for it at all, but Olav loved competing and was ready to enter any competition no matter what amount of training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2nd place E-Panel, 3rd Overall: Team Freestyle Circus &#8211; Stefania Martinengo, Manuel Basso<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This was the routine presented at freestyle World Cup in 2005, my last freestyle competition. I was supposed to compete with Olav Zipser as my teammate cameraflyer, but Olav broke his wrist the day before the competition. Manuel and I improvised a team at the last moment. We ended up third place with a routine slightly changed and simplified from the original, as Manuel and I never trained freestyle together.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3rd Place: Team Kasia &amp; J\u00e8r\u00e8m&nbsp;&#8211; J\u00e8r\u00e8my Saint Jean, Kasia Bereska<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Again, as many of the other participants, they had not a chance to train and prepare a real routine, though decided to submit a video recorded last year just for spirit of participation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"860\" height=\"573\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/SS-OliverFurrerphTimPorter-WEB.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32829\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/SS-OliverFurrerphTimPorter-WEB.jpg 860w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/SS-OliverFurrerphTimPorter-WEB-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/SS-OliverFurrerphTimPorter-WEB-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px\" \/><figcaption>Throwback Skysurf, 2nd place &#8211; Team Pulse<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Throwback Skysurf<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1st Place: Our Eyes on a Skysurfer &#8211; K\u0113be San, Greg Gasson<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">K\u0113be\u2019s skill level with the surf-board is truly at the top. So many cool moves perfectly executed. Insane helicopter, carving, half eagles, grabs. Greg Gasson is former Freestyle world champion cameraflyer (in team with Dale Stewart) is one of the best cameraflyers in the world. The match could have only been a winning one \u263a<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2<sup>nd<\/sup> Place: Team Pulse &#8211; Oliver Furrer, Tim Porter<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oliver Furrer is a former skysurf world champion. He submitted this jump, which was a fun jump done years ago with Tim Porter. Incredible skysurfing nevertheless he defines it just a \u201cfun\u201d jump \u263a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He wished to submit to Sky on Stage one of his previous winning routines, but most of his video footages were recorded in a different format and not digitalized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3<sup>rd<\/sup> Place: Team Blaster &#8211; James Connelly, Dave Hyndman<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nice attitude by James and Dave, both from Australia. James is aware he is only a beginner skysurfer though he showed a lot of passion and enthusiasm in taking part in these games. As he told us in a message, he believes, as we do, that this competition was not about winning but about showing what a beautiful artistic form skydiving is.

I am happy to see Yohann exploring Indoor competition as well, I think this team has amazing potential and we are all thrilled to know they might continue in their journey as team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Team Coralie iFLY -  Sky on Stage &#039;Throwback&#039; - Indoor Freestyle\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qHM5kuugJto?list=PLvlpoLAwLy5cDE2fxsJU0Po5MIRdw-54t\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Throwback Indoor Freestyle winner &#8211; Team Coralie iFly, with Greg Crozier filming<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Throwback Indoor Freestyle \u2013 with cameraflyer!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the Throwback games, Coralie submitted an amazing choreography where she is filmed interactively in-flight by cameraflyer Greg Crozier. The inside perspective it\u2019s so fascinating, making it definitively visually entertaining and somehow more similar to its cousin discipline skydiving freefly\/style 2 way. Sure there are some safety concerns that do not allow at the moment making this a true category of its own, though as skill levels improve, we hope it can develop into a nice show opportunity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Assessors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without assessors these games would not be possible. Often competitors forget about this. It takes somehow courage and passion to offer oneself as assessors. It\u2019s not easy, there are so many elements to take in consideration when assessing a choreography in its overall. You don\u2019t want to upset anyone but you still have to come up with a ranking. I asked all assessors to pay particular attention to the feelings and emotions received when looking at a choreography and asked them just to be honest in their heart. For the A-panel I invited a variety of professional artists and athletes coming from different background, so they would look at the choreography from slightly different perspectives. Most of the A-Panel assessors were also chosen because of their multi-talents in more than one sport or art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Expert Panel&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Freeflying and Freestyle: <\/strong>Sharon Har-noy, Nils Predstrup, Martin Kristensen, Gigliola Borgnis, Mikhail Razomanov, Gustavo Cabana, Tamara Koyn, Bryce Witcher, Ron Myasnikov.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Skysurf: <\/strong>Viviane Wegrath, Troy Hartman, Gau Martinengo, Tamara Koyn.<\/li><li><strong>Wingsuit: <\/strong>James Boole, Mike Pennock, Rob Heron, Maurizio di Palma<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Artists and Athletes panel&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Giulia Paris and Giada Rossi<\/strong>, prima ballerinas at Companhia Nacional de Dan\u00e7a&nbsp;in Madrid, both studied dance choreography in some of the most renowned dance schools in the world.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Giorgia Potter<\/strong>, professional hip hop and street dancer.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Hugo Noel<\/strong>, Internationally recognized circus artist founder of The Catwall Acrobats<\/li><li><strong>Niccolo Porcella<\/strong>, multi-sport athlete, gymnast, professional surfer, kite surfer, high cliff diver and wingsuit terrain pilot<\/li><li><strong>Eleonora Farina<\/strong>, mountain bike downhill champion, 4th at World championship last year.
