Organizers Matthew Fry and Melissa Nelson Lowe recently scheduled attempts to set the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale World Record for Largest Two-Point Head-Down Formation Skydive for June 25-28, 2020, at Skydive Chicago in Ottawa, Illinois. After the successful four-point 42-way world record in 2018, the organizers realized that the rules governing the discipline were prohibiting its growth and, with input from the international community, developed a new set of rules. Fry presented these rules to the International Parachuting Commission of the FAI, which adopted them earlier this year.

In preparation for the 2020 record attempts, Fry and Lowe are hosting two lead-up events to test out the new rules and have fun doing complex multi-point big-ways. Those events will take place August 9-11 at Skydive Chicago and February 21-23, 2020, at Skydive Sebastian in Florida. More information is available at verticalsequentialworldrecords@gmail.com.
