Lake Elsinore Skydiving Team Wins Bronze at World Championships

Local skydiving team Elsinore Too Wrapped Up brought home the bronze medal in canopy formation skydiving last week at the 2018 World Parachuting Championships in Gold Coast, Australia. The World Championships drew hundreds of the world’s top skydivers from across the globe.

Too Wrapped Up earned the opportunity to represent the United States at the World Championships after winning gold at last year’s U.S. Parachute Association National Parachuting Championships.

In canopy formation skydiving, teams of four skydivers deploy their parachutes immediately after jumping from the plane and build formations as quickly as possible while holding onto each other’s canopies. A videographer flies alongside to capture the action.

The members of Too Wrapped Up are: Will Kitto of Irvine; Taylor Cole of Rancho Cucamonga; Sean Jones of Corona; Eric Gallan of Fallbrook; and Glenn Fafard of Riverside. The team trains locally at Skydive Elsinore.
