I'm a professional skydiver
part of the Red Bull Air Force skydiving
team and I'm living in Arizona close to
a giant skydiving facility called
skydive Arizona the concept of a woman's
vertical world record it means that
we're basically head down it's like if
you can imagine elevating me to 18,000
feet and then surrounding me with 65
other women from around the world and
we're all getting together and holding
hands while we're free-falling factor
the ultimate job for me and this team is
to build a world record Melissa Nelson
and I organized the first women's record
together she's kind of like the original
gangster of the team and then Sara
Curtis who's my business partner domi
tiger from France and Anna mocs news
from Wales and Sharon Hanoi it's a great
team because we're focused on what each
other is saying and comprehending it and
thinking about it and sharing ideas came
if we tell this she's got rock stars law
I think that's gonna boost the
confidence she is a great flyer
amy is an amazing woman she's definitely
an inspiration to all of us you can kill
me Christmas thermal credit busker
Busker Lebensraum Fidelia xi le
anomalies avec le severe almost cancer
no Timon on your card you won't thing
you know we get women from all over the
world
Norway from sweet
Australia Israel the polls good Belgium
we're all coming together to build the
largest formation possible in a vertical
orientation good book that by default
when I was single - yeah mmm I can
faccia smear is the best shoulder
alright I met Pam this year she didn't
have any confidence in herself at all
which was unnecessary because I saw that
she was such a good flyer she's a sweet
hop and she's super talented and she has
no idea
[Music]
there's definitely struggles you face in
the first day when you're trying to
figure out who goes where in the
formation and how to best utilize each
individual person to optimize the
performance of the team that's been
challenging but overall spirits are high
and everybody's lying well an emergency
present okay John vinyasa Lexi I don't
know what's on your left no what's on
your right know what's in front of you
look at the formation as well some
people have some bright colors some
peeing some orange try to find
references that will help you when you
get there when you get on level you need
to know in advance exactly what's going
to be your surroundings to find those
references right now unless you're from
the brass bar school as your governor
would say often accompany the Eurocup so
it's actually cenote vision is a huge
well no girl you put on a lot the
multitude imagining sorry let me
someplace review and you fill out a lot
of these girls it was the first time
they've used oxygen the first time
they've gone to higher altitude
definitely some of the coldest skydives
they will ever have done
a lot of people don't realize how
serious hypoxia could be until it
affects you we're going between 1,500
feet where the ground level is it's got
a very own ax to 18,000 feet so it's a
massive change there's a lot thinner up
there there's a lot less oxygen there's
a plethora of challenges that if you
suffer with your mates it never feels so
bad you know you just gotta suck it up
the other thing is which is even more
important is can they handle the mental
pressure kawasu say accomplish it's you
do justice on terra's district flora
don't say really persuasion where your
college-y dollars fares
[Music]
pretty typical though right first John
feels great second job people kind of
let their guard down a little
[Music]
we're gonna build a record here we're
gonna build a record how large we build
it is up to us you have more confidence
in any of these people anything that's
not right that we know isn't gonna work
in the big picture then we kind of mark
them down and we keep looking at them
and we watch them and we mark them down
and we remember it kind of coming up
yeah we had to cut some people make the
formation a little bit smaller really
tough do not enjoy that very much
basically a lot of the mistakes that are
happening it's just like people
physically can do it but sometimes it
gets like to do it consistently and not
let the pressure get you is a challenge
when you're newer world records are not
easy
you girls are inspiring the next
generation of female skydivers you
should be so proud of yourselves of
being here right now
[Applause]
nice together all my sensitivity
[Music]

mother nature's messing with us this is
serious

Tertullian especially i have commissary
with the fish they mimic Cannavale i
know what moves comes up no matter how
hard it gets let it cool your focus and
your toughness ignore any distraction
well then go they motivate me as much as
I motivate them I make inside thinking
like oh man I hope everybody's ok out
there and then I walk out and they're
like singing and dancing and high-fiving
each other so I don't know they're
helping me I'm helping them it's its
team from 45 yesterday so we definitely
got this I tend to like the pressure
kind of gives me energy and it motivates
me to work harder so I don't mind the
challenge kind of like bring it on
that's why we're going up with you
ladies to do this skydive we believe you
can handle this physically and we
believe you can handle this mentally so
believe in yourselves as well

their money and make these plans and
take the chance to come here you know

other in the skydive just come out to
