“...Freefly is a state of mind. It opens doors inside you you didn't know you had. It is the ultimate in freedom - something you cannot experience doing anything else. It's the ultimate high for me...”
Ross Dagley-Cleworth
“...Freefly is my passion. Ever since I was a child I've always wanted to soar like a kestrel - flipping and turning, diving and soring. Freefly gives me this like nothing else can...”

How long have you actively been a skydiver?
5 years
Where and when did your first skydiving jump take place?
At Hinton in the UK - I did a tandem for my 30th birthday!
How long have you been skydiving competitively?
We've just started competing, but have a very intensive training schedule for this year, and plan to make a lot of waves this year in competition!
Who is known as the "ring leader" of your team?
We don't have a "ring leader" as such - we're the dictionary definition of "a team" so we all take the blame!
What do you enjoy most about skydiving?
The smiles created on newbies faces after they get that "click" moment of clarity and learn something new!
If you could skydive with anyone in the world, who would it be?
My kids but they are not old enough just yet!
What other hobbies do you enjoy outside of skydiving?
swimming, cycling, scuba diving, and general fitness!
