👀 Sight picture starts with awareness. Awareness of your surroundings, your gear, and your altitude.

Super happy with the progress made the last few days flying with @jagusjaguszepl at FlyTribe in Sweden. He finally got me flying on my head, taught me back layouts and I got a small taste of front layouts too!

It's so refreshing to feel like a total newbie and learn a bunch of new skills. This tunnel thing is growing on me 😄 I highly recommend taking a trip out to FlyTribe in Malmö, the people are awesome and the facilities are top notch! taken in FlyTribe Malmö by @maxyaks

In October 2024, I met JJ just a couple weeks after setting some distance records at Worlds in South Africa, flying Petra and Mutant. After taking me Moustache flying, he very quickly convinced me to build myself some parakite risers for Petra to blow those records out of the water.

In November we started working together in Thailand and in December the materials we ordered had arrived. After a few days of tinkering, I had built a working prototype and spent loads of time dialing things in on the ground. Then off we went!

The six ring RDS helped the canopy open beautifully and the release system was buttery smooth. I made some small but significant tweaks between each jump and by number 5, we tried flying together with him in the wingsuit. I ended up doing 10 test jumps on the system but I never felt confident enough to land it. JJ was a parakite ninja, so naturally he hooked up his VK 67 and landed it first go!!!

It was a super fun experiment but I really think that to take full advantage of the Parakite riser system, we need to have a wing built specifically for it. Given the opportunity and resources, I'd love to continue to improve what we made. It's been one year since JJ first landed the Parakite Valkyrie, or "The Valkenstache" as he called it. I miss you my friend. taken in Thailand by @maxyaks

Just wrapped up an awesome week in China doing some canopy coaching and camera flying. Even snuck in a moustache session on the beach!! What a cool crew of jumpers, they all made me feel very welcome and their hospitality was next level. See you all next time 🤘🏻 by @maxyaks

2025 stats! 🤓 This year was quality over quantity. A few setbacks resulted in my slowest year in the past decade in terms of jump numbers but some amazing opportunities led to a few of the most memorable jumps of my life.

Looking forward to more MUTANT swoops, Broncos stadium demos, backcountry jumps and spontaneous skydiving trips with friends. taken in Calgary, Alberta by @maxyaks
