From Sky Dancing WORLD CHAMPION to Her FIRST TIME Skydiving | Maja Kuczynska | Unstoppable

At 17 years old Maja Kuczyńska was the first junior world champion in indoor skydiving. As a seasoned sky dancing pro, Maja felt more comfortable dancing through air than most long-time skydivers. But Maja was one of the only sky dancers to jump into the wind tunnel without ever actually skydiving. All that changed when Maja decided it was time to jump out of a plane for real and skydive outside the wind tunnel for the first time.

Sky dancing should be an Olympic sport! 👍😎👍

[@penguinista]

For anyone who has not been in a wind tunnel or tried skydiving: Everything is much harder than it looks in the tunnel. Try to hold your fingers steady out the window of a car driving at 70 mph. Now imagine your whole body in wind going more than twice that speed. Watch some footage of beginners learning the four body positions to get a sense of what it is like for mortals. So impressive and inspiring!

[@connorcarroll7677]

I’m currently level one for wind tunnel and yes it’s very very hard to get the hang of it and requires lots of practice but when you finally get that ah ha moment it’s beautiful and just sooo much fun!! I recommend it for everyone to try

I discovered this sport last night; out of the blue. FANTASTIC! I'd love to see this in the Olympics; it beats the fuck out of frisbee golf. Maja is an amazing athlete, a stunning beauty, and a fierce competitor. Her dad is hard on her- but I think the bigger life lessons coupled with her attitude- will serve her well later.

[@flyinshu123]

13:23 This is because a skydiver trains free fall for one minute per jump. (4000 jumps is 66 or 67 hours of free fall) in practice, she has who knows how many hours...hundreds.

[@0dteESmini]

probably around 100 hours a year for 6 years at this point... 36,000 jumps...

[@flyinshu123]

@@0dteESmini I bet since she isn't limited to a short skydive and does this on a professional level, she probably trains several hours a day. So I bet she gets 800 to 1000 hrs a year.

[@0dteESmini]

@@flyinshu123 ehh its very expensive.. im sure her sponsors cover most of the expenses now but before it was prob her family paying most. its about 700-1000 usd for 1hr. sessions are usually flown 15-30 mins max broken up in the day. 30 mins a day or 182 hours a year is already ALOT and very expensive $120,000+

If her dad takes the expectations off she'll win. Correct me if im wrong but i dont think giving her tough love to compete will improve the results no matter how she channels the fuel into energy. Never the less beautiful black swan free skydancing outdoor. Love ur work mate!

[@galt820]

Jesus, did you put a 110 lb girl on a 300 canopy? That thing is huge, no wonder she had a hard deployment. Should have been on a 230 at most. Also I hope she gets a vector or curve, there are a lot sexier looking rigs out there than the one she was jumping.

[@SternLX]

Agree. That was way too much canopy for her.

A lot more to actual Skydiving.

[@wildeyestudios5]

Difficult for the Instructor to think of something to teach her? And he's got 19.000+ jumps? What about teaching her to track away for group separation, I'm sure she hasn't done that in tunnel. What about levels and long distances to catch up with the group/base in a formation of any discipline? There's plenty she can learn and she'd learn quickly for sure. And yeah, that looked like a wacky opening, being one of the most expensive DZ in Europe I wouldn't be happy with that. Very good on Maja for not letting the hard opening be a turnoff foe the course.

[@philipmartin708]

After the jump, she said her ribs hurt and the parachute didn't open properly. Does anybody know what went wrong?

[@andyd3294]

She had a "hard opening". Basically when the parachute opened the slider (a piece of material designed to prevent the parachute opening too fast) came down very quickly. As a result rather than the deceleration being spread over 4 to 6 seconds the deceleration happened in about 1 to 2 seconds. Going from 110mph to about 20mph that quickly gave her some whiplash. Its quite rare for the this type of thing to happen hence why the instructor said she was unlucky.

[@philipmartin708]

@@andyd3294 Thanks. Why would a slider to do that? Also, I noticed that no one answered GALTs question about a chute that was too large for her.

[@andyd3294]

@@philipmartin708 kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYekoJyCoZd1bK8 This is a really good video explaining everything that can contribute to hard openings.

[@base615]

@@philipmartin708 No issue with the size of the canopy, honestly. It doesn’t contribute to the opening and as long as winds are light it wouldn’t be an issue to fly. Back in the day, when I first jumped, you were on a Manta 288 while a student, no matter what you weighed.

[@mangarang]

What if you could safely skydive without a parachute backpack? Like a giant net suspended 100 ft in the air or something? With her aerial control she could totally land in a net the size of a football field if such a thing could work.

[@asia.charity]

It has been done before

[@daneforbes7266]

Did that guy say he did 19,000 jumps?

[@motorcop505]

He said she has the ability of someone with 4-5,000 jumps. Her huge amount of time in the wind tunnel equates to many jumps since they only free fall for a minute or so per jump.

that parachute is ugly!

[@ruby5787]

So given that it costs $100 just to fly for like 2 minutes, are we going to talk about how *extremely* privileged this girl is to have come from such a very wealthy family for her to be able to afford to do this for hours every day after school and compete? Or are we going to keep pushing this message that if you just try hard and believe in yourself you can do anything and that a lack of money and lack of privilege isn't an obstacle for anyone?

[@czmielek81]

Yep its her fault her parents can afford it right? BTW the tunnel for professionals training is much cheaper then for the public. She has to train very early or late when the tunnel is available. Why so bitter?

[@mantarochen2330]

@@czmielek81 But she said the truth not everyone is privileged like her

[@LukaszB8]

I know that the video and the commentary already has a grey beard but I also wondered about it especially as I know the Polish reality. I saw some interviews with Maja and the subject became clear. Well, she actually got a great privilege, but not because her parents were crapping money, but because at a very young age she tried flying in the Flyspot tunnel where it turned out she was doing great and because the sport didn't actually exist in Poland yet, the owners decided to promote it by sponsoring promising jumpers. …What I think is worth mentioning is that she used to get there by train and the ride from Wrocław, where she lived, to Warsaw, where the tunnel was took at best 5 hours in those days 😅
