And that’s a wrap. One record of 130-way, loads of fun and tons of adrenaline. #aussiebigways #skydiveperris #APFSkydive #gobigorgohome #skydivingrecord
55 yrs ago, March 1964, Aussie Andy Keech was on the world's first documented 4-way.Today he's with the #AussieBigways team, fresh from yesterday's record, now dirt-diving a 134-way. Today they'll have another crack at a new record. #gobigorgohome #apfskydive
New record set today. 130-way. #Aussiebigways skydivers nailed it late Sunday afternoon in Perris Valley, California, eclipsing the previous 2015 record of 119 #skydiveperris #APFSkydive #gobigorgohome. Photo #craigo’brienphotograpy
It’s getting closer, almost there, there’ll be another jump this afternoon, fingers crossed for the record, 131 jumpers in that last load #aussiebigways #skydiveperris #apfskydive #gobigorgohome
Update @ 1.15 LA time - Fog has cleared. First load of day 3 is about to take off. They are amped for a record 132-way. Cross everything back home and send your positive vibes. Hope to have some good news in an hour or so.#skydivingrecord @SkydivePerris #aussiebigways
The Aussie Bigways record effort is on in earnest. It's day #2 of a 4-day mission. The team is attempting formations of 137 people from 16,500 feet above California. And we have the world's best camera flyers catching the action. Thanks for this, @normankent

Just when I thought my life no longer resembled that of Bridget Jones I found myself jumping out of an aeroplane, on television. Watch @sunriseon7 this morning to find out if I landed in a pig sty. @ Perris, California instagram.com/p/ByI_Dr3BA4c/… – at Perris, CA

New Aussie Skydiving Record effort starts tomorrow @SkydivePerris . Sleep tight Aussie flyers. 120+ linked in freefall. Go get it.
Training continued today @SkydivePerris with 72-way base group and 52-way whacker lines #aussiebigways #gobigorgohome #skydivingrecord #getintoskydiving
Training camp #2 on weather holds pretty much all day. Better luck tomorrow with a 72-way and a 52-way planned. Fingers crossed that we can get closer to that 120+ record by this time next week! @APFSkydive #getintoskydiving #gobigorgohome #aussiebigways

You can skydive just once with one person strapped to your back. But it's way cooler with 120 friends who've all got your back!
