New poll: Who’s the most badass female swooper?
Swoopers are pretty cool, there’s really no denying it (as much as we’d like to). Female swoopers, though – they just plain rock. Whether it’s because she wins the most competitions, has the best attitude or is just straight up a badass, which girl do you root for at the end of the day? I know I’ll have a tough time picking only one, too!

10: Excuses for Bad Swoops
By Mike Shatalov
10. It’s a new lineset, the canopy just doesn’t fly right!
9. I was just practicing a new turn/trying something new.
8. Didn’t get laid/got laid too much last night.
7. The wind pushed the top skin of my canopy causing me to sink in the turn/move off course.
6. My chest strap was so long it created extra drag.
5. I was laughing too hard after watching Ian Drennan face plant.
4. Man, i caught a thermal at like 1000 feet, that threw my turn way off and caused me to vertical.
3. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus into my eyes.
2. I had an extra serving of the weak sauce with my steak last night.
1. I just got scared.
