Skydiving is in an era of progression. Camps outnumber boogies, millions of dollars pour into windy tubes that promise get-good-quick schemes, and there’s another world record attempt seemingly every other month. This is excellent. It is progression. But what is it often not? Fun. So where is the middle ground between the sketchy raft dives of a boogie and the seriousness of Nationals and the stress of receiving a golden ticket to the next record? Lookin’ to Build.

The event organizers invited jumpers of similar skill levels (so the lowest-level flyer wouldn’t feel left out and the most experienced wouldn’t feel responsible for generating every dive flow) to Skydive Spaceland in Rosharon, Texas, May 25-28 for the group’s second Lookin’ to Build event. They booked a nearby AirBnB with a large-screen TV and massive couch, where the participants watched footage of their jumps and concocted plans for the next day. The participants made 30 jumps (some with smoke brackets generously provided by SSK Industries) over the four days. Ninja photographer Daniel Angulo captured the action. Everyone pushed their creative boundaries, built stronger friendships and had a blast making it happen.
