Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Sydney Kennett is one of the world's best indoor skydivers. The 14-year-old champion moves with the grace of a ballerina inside wind tunnels that propel air in excess of 100 miles per hour. Sydney holds numerous top prizes at competitions around the world, and she's even a Guinness World Record holder. Videographer: Michael Ross Cunningham, Revibe Creative

Olympic Sport? Ha!
1) It's not a sport.
It's a Performance, like ballet or dance.
2) We don't need any events that are only accessible to the richest portion of the richest people in the World. That's not what Olympics are about. One person at a time in a chamber that has an entire building to feed power into it? Ha! NO!
Nice moves. Fun performance. Not a sport. Performance art? Sure. Physical air ballet? Ok.
Olympic Sport? No chance.
Buy a pair of running shoes. Let's see if you can compete against the general population of Earth. That's what Olympics are about.

I wish I had more money to do this, but try to chill out a little on the cost thing. Yes, it's expensive, but does anyone remember how much a CD player cost when it first came out? How much did you pay for your first VCR? Microwave oven? When this catches on, and I think it will, the costs will come down although unfortunately not in time for me. I remember when CD players first came out and cost around $6, 000. 00 (including speakers, :) How much was your first computer, and how many MB's did it have?
I've done iFly once. I'd go every day if I could. It is a blast.

Indoor skydiving is what I think a form of skydiving(which it certainly is-) for people who get nauseous easily, scared of heights, or faint easily. Both certainly look fun but I believe that indoor skydiving is more where you don-t have to worry about parachutes, and doing flips but the actual skydiving is where you can fly through the sky or clouds, in all I think both are pretty fun.

Bring all your unvaccinated kids to iFLY where they'll fall victim to shoulder injuries (with a lifetime of side effects) because corporate isn't interested in creating or documenting Safe Operating Procedures. Guess it isn't as bad as all abilities flights void of any instructions.
Maybe the Chief Legal Counsel should stop covering up fatalities and paralyzations. #firekevinfiur

She is talented and confident. I love her movement, it is very aesthetic. I hope she continues to enhance her skills. I'm surprised that so many people, especially male adults are showing sheer jealousy against her in this comment line. Literally all comments are sarcastically talking about her wealth; not for fancy technologies nor amazing performance.

it takes a lot of money to train this kind of sport, it's gonna be hard for the third world country's athletes to practice this, in here NZ, it cast me $50 to fly 1 minutes, even for the employees they have to pay $14 dollars per minutes, imagine you practise 25 minutes per day, ouh la la

I hope Sydney does try sky diving! I have a fear of heights, too. I started sky diving as a teen ager. I have jumped over 50 times. I still do it occasionally. Sky diving is a very surreal feeling. Not connected to the sky, not connected to the ground. Very freeing feeling. Love it!

Her parents must be loaded.
Even with club membership to ifly sites you are paying a few hundred dollars a month just to get access to the tunnel for 4 days a month.
And outside of that, the best deals you will be able to get is like 25$/min

So. privilege?
Actually that's not fair to blame her. She's got dope skills, but this whole 'sport' is elitist, and having it be in the olympics would be disgusting --- like. hey cool, lets give MORE medals to rich people.

reply

Yeah this isn-t gonna be in the olympics anytime soon. It-s expensive AF for this. -A lot of people have access to good coaches- yeah not that many people even have access to a wind tunnel let alone be able to afford it lol
