Swoop Style Masters at the Scalaria Air Challenge 10th Anniversary

By adminon - Read 5486 times

Falling from 1,500 meters at
speeds in excess of 130 kilometers per hour, this years “Swoop Style”
competitors will yet again risk their lives to take home the prestigious title. This
relatively new sport, only made possible through recent advancements in
parachute technology, has become one of the most highly anticipated events at
the Scalaria Air Challenge each year because of the extreme skill and bravery
needed to participate. Competition is fierce as participants jump from a
helicopter 1,500 meters above the ‘seepromenade’ and soar down through
obstacle courses at dangerously high speeds in hopes of landing on a small
platform on the water. Speed, line and accuracy are the ingredients for success.


“Swoop Style Masters” will take place for the third time this July at the 10th
anniversary edition of the Scalaria Air Challenge in St. Wolfgang im
Salzkammergut, Austria. Top athletes from around the glove including Bill
Sharman, Patrick Kaye, Julien Guilho and the Red Bull Skydive Team (with over
10,000 jumps will descend upon the
Air Challenge in order to make history for their sport. However, Swoop Style
Masters is not the only event at the Scalaria Air Challenge that will shock and
awe. Constantly pushing the limits of what is possible, it is an event that
originally began as a small gathering of seaplanes on the beautiful Lake
Wolfgang and has turned into an internationally recognized spectacle in the air,
on the water and at the resort. This year, the event will celebrate 10 Years of
