There are  until I can go skydiving!o

Home: Southern California

Interests: Interests: In addition to tunnel flying, I also love skateboarding, playing electric guitar, acting, travel, and anything “daring. My favorite US city is San Francisco. My favorite city in the world is Sydney, Australia. My favorite type of trip is a cruise. I love to visit different places in the world by cruise ship! I also really enjoy acting – but this is an indoor skydiving site. If you want to know more about my acting visit my actor site at justintinucci.com.

About Me: I am 12 years old and I live in Southern California. I started skydiving in the wind tunnel in Lone Tree, Colorado in 2006. Now I train with my sister at iFLY Hollywood.

Indoor skydiving is my favorite sport because it allows me to do something different from all of the other kids. Tunnel flying helps make me unique, it sets me apart from other people, (kind of like my red hair!) Not many kids in the world can say they are skydivers (well, indoor skydivers)! One of the best things about skydiving is that I am only 12 years old and I can do things in bodyflight that many adults cannot do. I want other kids to know that being a kid should never stop anyone from reaching their goals and pursuing their dreams. Anything is possible if you set your mind to it.

One day, I want to jump from planes, but until that day, I will continue to work on my bodyflight skills in the wind tunnel. I am trying to convince my parents to take me to New Zealand sometime soon and let me jump from a plane now. I’ve been trying to convince them for four years, I don’t think it’s going to happen any time soon! What is really going to be hard is when my sister turns 18 and I am only 15 and have to stand on the ground watching when she makes her first jump!

I have really enjoyed being a part of Team Future, it has been a big part of my life for the past 4 years. I have met some of the most wonderful people at skydiving and wind tunnel competitions, which is really the best part about this sport-the community is really amazing.

Over the past 4 years I have seen several other kids teams form and begin to compete, which is what this is all about- helping gain recognition for both skydiving and tunnel flying, especially with other kids. Five years ago, no kids had ever competed against adult skydivers in wind tunnels, I feel like Team Future has really been a part of helping other kids develop an interest in this sport. I am only 12, but I hope to continue to spread the word, compete, and get more people flying!
