Sport background


I graduated from the Institute of Physical Education with the
specialization of Coach/Instructor. I started skydiving in 2007
and immediately started participating in fantastic events.


I took part in a lot of  Russian National RW Records as well
as the World Records of 122-way and 202-way Sequential. Two other
important events I would like to mention are 100-way Diamond and
Flight of the Phoenix. And finally I participated in three World
Wingsuit Records: 2009 — 68 pilots, 2012 — 100 pilots and 2015 —
the First FAI World Record 64-way.


All in all I have more than 3500 skydiving jumps.


As for base-jumping, I came in the sport in 2008 and have made
more than 1000 base-jumps since then. I got the second place in
2019 Base-Race in Norway and have found several exits.
