Speed Skydiving is an exciting discipline where athletes attempt to achieve the highest possible vertical speed in freefall, making speed skydiving the fastest non-motorized sport on earth, reaching velocities as high as Top Fuel dragsters.

The physical sensations combined with the challenge of performing better than your last jump makes for a fun 25-second skydive.

This discipline is one of the most accessible and inclusive. It's also rapidly evolving, making it an exciting time to get started. Top competitors can regularly surpass 500kmh (311mph), with beginners usually reaching speeds in the low-200mph range.
