If you'd like to help out the US Wingsuit team with donations to help fund the event costs, please PM me and I'll make arrangements. First, congratulations to all. This is an enormous step forward as a discipline and this team will likely be remembered as pioneers in wingsuit competition (along with other national teams at the meet) long after many of us have moved on. We will be cheering you on from afar! What Spot did not say is that he was also selected by USPA as Team Manager for the U.S. Team. Well deserved and thanks for your contributions to making wingsuit competition an internationally recognized event! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DSE 5 #9 April 8, 2015 I'm quite familiar with Team Ill Vision. If they didn't participate in any of the Performance comps around the world, particularly those in the US...they're not eligible. It was a competition-based selection, not a popularity or team contest. If one doesn't show up for a competition, it's kinda hard to earn a slot.

hjumper33 0 #16 April 26, 2015 I sure hope so! Im excited for the return of the leader to the skydiving world, but worry about lack of funding, and that 3 of the guys have had kids and havent been jumping much in the last few years, and one was brian drake :( Id be more than happy to see a lot more purple and red back in the lodi skys!

I'm pretty proud of my friends that earned slots on the team, and believe the USA will be well-represented at the World Cup.
