The AXIS Flight School hosted the ISSA World Cup Series Event of 2025 at Skydive Arizona has wrapped, following a full-throttle weekend of Speed Skydiving on December 13–14, 2025.
Over the weekend, 14 competitors gave it everything they had, chasing one simple goal: fly as fast as humanly possible.
| 👉 Competitor Snapshot 👈 11x male | 4x female 5x nationalities 4x competitors in their 30s; 6x in their 40s; 1x in their 50s; 2x in their 60s; 1x in their 70s |
Many athletes set new personal bests, updating their Eternal Rankings. We also welcomed a couple of newcomers to the discipline: Ken and David.
Speed Skydiving keeps getting stronger every year. Word on the street is that 2026 will see 3 ISSA events in the USA alone. There is also growing desire for USPA and FAI to adopt a Masters Class, especially given that 4 competitors were over the age of 50 at the Eloy meet alone. The Junior category (24 years of age or younger) has been a staple for many years now.
Special thanks to Michael at Flysight for providing the competition units.
And thank you to every competitor, especially those who traveled here from the other side of the globe. The sportsmanship and camaraderie were unmistakable all weekend.
Special thanks as well to the Skydive Arizona staff and pilots who made this event possible. Training for and participating in ISSA events is a great way to learn and get exposure to Speed Skydiving. For information about future events and coaching, visit www.AXISFlightSchool.com
