TEAM NZ CANOPY PILOTING 2016
Nationwide
TEAM NZ CANOPY PILOTING 2016 is the strongest team that New Zealand has put forward so far for canopy piloting. It is comprised of 4 very talented and skilled skydivers who also happen to be awesome mates.
They have been training and competing across swoop ponds all around the world. Due to lack of funding in this discipline they have invested their own money and a lot of time, practice and efforts to get to where they are now. They have racked up their share of medals and podiums at both regional and international competitions along the way.
This year they are competing together at the Copenhagen Swoop Challenge, the European Canopy Piloting Championships in Klatovy and the World Canopy Piloting Championships in Canada! It is going to cost them about $10 - $20 000.00 each to get to all these competitions and for their training jumps and registrations. Unfortunately there is no funding available for them in New Zealand.
They are all capable of either a podium or a top 10 finish and they are raising money as a team so let's get behind them!
