Chris Geiler

A few years ago, I stepped away from competition to focus on the most important team, my family.

Since then, we’ve moved back to Australia, rebuilt our lives and started a new chapter. I honestly didn’t know if I’d ever compete again.

Now I’ve earned the opportunity to represent Australia at the 2026 World Championships.

This comeback means more to me than simply returning to competition. It’s a chance to wear the green and gold, bringing my skydiving career full circle and showing my kids that it’s possible to return to a dream after putting it on hold.

Preparing for a World Championship requires significant training, travel and accommodation costs. A fundraiser has been created to support the Australian Parachute Team as we prepare to take on the world.

Any donation, large or small, will help. Even sharing the campaign could put it in front of someone who is able to support us.

Please donate or share through the link in my bio.

Thank you for being part of the journey. 🇦🇺

Had a great time sitting down with Heath from the Flight Style Podcast. Link in bio.

We covered wingsuit flying, progression, safety, mindset, and some of the lessons I’ve learned along the way — both in the air and outside of it. Always cool to have real conversations with people who genuinely care about the sport and the community.

If you’re into wingsuiting, BASE, skydiving, or just human flight in general, give it a listen. Hope there’s something in there that helps, inspires, or at least makes you think a little differently. 👊🪂

Big thanks to the Flight Style Podcast for having me on.
