4. Formation skydiving is not something you can do on your own.
IT IS A TEAM SPORT.
And a team is not only training, jumping, competing.
It is also having a common target, growing up together, building a strong relationship and interacting
with each other’s needs and wishes.
It’s a group of friends that enjoy skydiving, evolving, learning and being together.
Our goal is not only to compete but to be together doing what we like… and show the world that..
IMPOSSIBLE is I’M POSSIBLE.
TNT 4-WAY TEAM
6. OUR HISTORY
We are 5 persons, 3 girls and 2 boys, with a PASSION that gives us an adrenaline rush every time we do it: SKYDIVING
We started skydiving for fun… a tandem jump first… then the skydiving license… and then our passion grew bigger and
bigger…
Hours of coaching…
Hours of tunnel coaching…
And then… the challenge to take part in international competitions.
The idea to train and participate in international competitions took shape the moment we started skydiving outside
Romania, and opening our eyes to the world class skydiving.
We decided then that we want to bring the best of skydiving as a sport in Romania and take the best of what we can
achieve to the world.
We’ve been fascinated by the challenge of the free-fall formations where people would move in pre-established positions
in order to gain points: the 4 way formations. We knew that it’s what we want to do.
We embraced the challenge and we found the skydivers willing to bring to life THE FIRST professional 4-way skydiving
team in Romania: Alina Sime, Andreea Pistea, Yuliana Georgieva, Simone Favat, Dragos Boeru (cameraman).
