Over the weekend of December 13-14, 2005, 14 competitors came to Eloy and gave it everything they had, chasing one single goal: fly as fast as humanly possible.

And y'know what? They *did*.

Time to call a wrap on the 2025 season-- and look ahead to all the awesomeness that 2026 will bring.

In the timeless words of Samuel L. Jackson: Hold on to your butts. 🍑🍑

Yeah, we love our updated logo. Like, a lot...so we got a bunch of stickers, and we're planning to decorate the world with it.

We think they're pretty cool.

They're available at Square2, or you can reach out and see if we have an extra sticker and an envelope with your name on it lying around. Never hurt to check.

Training slow helps you fly fast. Weird, maybe...but true.

Repeated intentional cutaways might not be *your* idea of a great weekend...but we're kinds special that way.

Our bonus freefall = your "executive education" on the finer points of MARD systems.

‪Thanks, @UPTVector

It's the quickest event at Nationals by a long shot, folks. Blink and you'll miss it.

But don't! Because you WOULD be missing something...Speed is SO GOOD.

The feeling was mutual, of course. We really enjoyed working with Brian and his team. These guys are the real thing.

Training for skydiving competition can be one of the toughest challenges you'll ever accept...but it's likely to be one of the most rewarding, too. Make no mistake: the podium can be yours if you #flySMARTtrainhard — so get over to axisflightschool.com/sport and reach out to us. We'll get you there.
