2nd Annual IBA Competition @ iFLY Orlando

2nd Annual IBA Competition @ iFLY Orlando

December 13th, 2014 marked the second annual IBA Indoor Skydiving Competition at iFLY Orlando. Flyers competed in a range of different disciplines including 4-way FS, 2-way VFS, 2-way Freefly, Tunnelball and Best Trick. 25 teams competed for great prizes from an impressive list of sponsors including Atli-2, Liquidsky, Vector, Vigil, Vertical, and Mirage among others. Music and entertainment for the evening was provided by our DJ Kevin Sutton from the Kevin Sutton Show. 

Many guests and competitors walked away with prizes from raffles that were run every hour. All proceeds from these raffles benefited Eric Gomez, an iFLY Orlando instructor that was seriously injured while Skydiving and is now out of work for several months as a result. Raffle tickets were sold for $5 apiece and overall they generated $490.00 on top of an ongoing Gofundme.com account that is still raising money for this cause.

Guest judges for the evening were; Sally Hathaway a veteran skydiving and tunnel flying coach from tunnelcoach.com, as well as Luis Mendez and Mike Mccann, renowned Freefly coaches from the Tribu Freefly School

The winners for each category were as follows:

4-way FS:

1st place: Foxtrot
2nd place: Deland Deland
3rd place: Deland 3D

The IBA distinguishes between the sport of indoor skydiving (engaged in by patrons with IBA accounts seeking approval of flight skills though the IBA's Flight Progression System) and recreational flying (engaged in by entertainment customers who do not intend to pursue approval of skills). While indoor skydiving is safe for all ages, the inherent risk of the activity is necessarily greater for those engaging in the sport of indoor skydiving, particularly as they progress through more sophisticated maneuvers.
