Mike Silva Jr.
Skydive Twin Cities — Baldwin, WI
If you like flying then we will be friends. That's been my motto for years, and it still holds true every time I'm in the air! I coach because I love watching it click for someone. Bodyflight is the ultimate mix of freedom and power — using your body to make flying real. The best part is sharing that feeling with friends. The wind doesn't care how strong you are; it cares about the shape of your body. I coach the positive and follow the process of Safety first, fun second, progress third. In 21+ years teaching thousands to fly, I've found it keeps you in the flow state — more enjoyment, less stress, and it saves you money — just more efficient. Get those right and style develops over time. Lets Fly! Live The Dream (LTD) Flow state coach/utilitarian bodypilot my students can function in any environment or competition. Organizing & events: I was on the boogie tour for SkyVenture Colorado and had the privilege of organizing at MANY dropzones over the years, in all bodyflight disciplines. Load organizing was my full-time job for years, and I've hosted and organized even more tunnel events over the last 21 years.
Chris Frayer
Orange Skies — Fort Morgan, CO
Skydiving and tunnel flying are two of the most amazing things that human beings do. People don't quit flying when they are continually progressing, they quit when they get stagnate. I want to facilitate that continued growth. Also, on a purely selfish note, the more people I help to become rippers the more people I have to do awesome flying with. I'm not here to be your cheerleader I'm here to make you better. If your striving to be mediocre, I'm not your guy. Flying well is hard. Your going to have to put in the work, and obsess about every little thing, because it all matters. Organizing & events: Multiple years at SDC Summerfest, Zhills Flamingo Boogie, The Sebastian Invasion.

Jason Russell
Skydive Chicago, Inc. — Ottawa, Illinois
I like to teach. Teach with passion. Learn always. Assume nothing. Progress the student at their pace
Maxine Tate
Utah, United States
I want you to have all the skills necessary to really excel, enjoy your skydive, be safe and to stay injury free. I always want to get to the true root cause of an issue, so we can work together to make positive lasting change. That involves a deep dive not just into what we need to work on, but why it's occurring. I believe in incremental improvement through hard work, patience and enjoying the learning process. Organizing & events: When I'm at a boogie, I am mostly organizing belly jumps and canopy flocking. I also come to events as the canopy safety advisor, as a resource to help people improve their airmanship in crowded skies and to talk all things canopy flight with everybody. Good times!!
Melanie Firth
Skydive Arizona — Eloy, AZ
Helping people to achieve their goals and progress in the sport is one of the most rewarding things I can do. I love seeing that "aha!" moment from a student when they figure something out that they've been working on. When I coach, I work with the individual to find what coaching style works best for them. Every person is different, and so I don't believe there's only one way to coach - a good coach is flexible and works with their student, so that's what I try to do with every student I have Organizing & events: LO at multiple boogies, former LO at SDAZ, Project19 regional captain responsible for organizing big way training camps.
Zach Vasnick
GoJump Oceanside — Oceanside, CA
It's a meaningful way to increase sustainability while staying connected to the next generation of flyers in a community that gave me purpose and a healthier lifestyle. I want to be a credible guide in a sport where progression can be unclear—helping people stay safer while they progress and enjoy flying and avoid unnecessary "expensive" trial-and-error. Understand the student and circumstances, then adapt. Zoom out, paint a whole picture, then zoom in to the puzzle pieces, then zoom back out and repeat. Use feelings+data. Blend knowledge and experience from all forms of flying wings - especially bodyflight and parachutes (paragliding, speedflying, parakiting). Organizing & events: Regular weekend warrior fun jumping, camera flying, events, and boogies. All skills levels.
