A skydiving world record that stood for a decade fell yesterday.
We tried to break it multiple times and had a particularly brutal experience in 2022. @mountingmountains (Matt Fry) went to the drawing board and pushed new ideas to pioneer better ways of building vertical formations. Because of that, and a lot of hard work from a lot of talented and dedicated people… we just set a new world record of 174 skydivers in a head down formation. 😎 🤘🏻

So in love with this family of mine. 🤍 We can’t wait to turn into a family of four in July with our sweet baby girl. Happy Mama’s Day.
Thank you for capturing our love! 📸@photoxcaity
Luke’s first birthday, first trip, first time in the ocean, and first family photos. 🩵💛🤍
I’m a lucky wife and Mama. Happy (belated) 3rd anniversary my love, @adamb33ch 🐻
I love our life, our baby and you.
Psyched to be part of the new California head down record! 103 talented flyers organized by @mountingmountains and @andymalchiodi with the assist from @amychmelecki and @chrisdarebear . The only larger vertical record is the current world record set almost 10 years ago… which we plan to break in August 😎🤘🏻

Weather only gave us 3 attempts but thanks to amazing organizing by @mountingmountains and @mr.colinconway and all the great skydivers involved, we got it done. 🤘🏻😎 Looking forward to scaling this spines and ribs formation style bigger and bigger.
