We left for a Florida state record, came back with a world record!<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Again this year, we came to join Americans in Florida at Skydive City, Zephyr Hills, for a head-to-head state record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year we closed a figure at 42 then 47, heads up. So the goal was set to be over 50 for 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Injuries and last-minute cancellations have thwarted plans. So the organizers, Brad and Mallory Hunt, decided to bounce back by attempting a sequence record, of 2 and 3 points, which would become a world record. So a 32-person group was selected, while at the same time, a smaller 100% American group would attempt for a sequential national record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attempts begin and the 2 point record goes out on the fourth jump! We finish the day on a fifth jump where the 2 points are made again, but we are missing a few people for the third.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
