We, as both a team and scoring system, decided that it was time to retire from competitive canopy piloting. It was an amazing journey for each member of the team, and we can't thank all of our friends, fellow competitors, judges, and sponsors enough for all of your love and support over the years. ❤️
Looking forward to our next adventures... 😀

The cancellation of the 2020 United States Parachute Association - USPA Nationals was, without a doubt, a difficult decision for the leadership at Skydive City to make. We at Control Tower want to commend Susan, Cam, and the rest of the team there for making the tough, but necessary, call to protect the safety and health of participants above all else.
That having been said, USPA stated earlier today that it is still considering alternate options. We urge USPA to recognize that Skydive City's conclusion regarding the feasibility of having a large-scale competition amid a pandemic is correct. Choosing to push this event forward, despite these realities, is at odds with the USPA's goal of promoting safe skydiving.
As was been previously stated, Control Tower would not have attended at Zephyrhills unless detailed and comprehensive risk mitigation plans were established. This position has not changed and the decision by Skydive City has only underscored our belief that this is the correct decision. Zephyrhills was forced to decline to host Nationals decision despite months of planning on how to mitigate Covid-19 related risks. It is unlikely that another dropzone will be able to, with a severely truncated timeline, do better than the original host.
As such, we call on USPA to follow the lead of other major international competitions like the FAI World Parachuting Championships and the Olympics, to prioritize the safety of its athletes and cancel the 2020 Nationals rather than attempting to create a last second ad hoc event.

Control Tower believes that we have a responsibility to speak up if the community takes actions that do not represent the safest approach to the sport that we all love dearly.
With that in mind, we believe it is important to discuss whether the 2020 USPA Nationals should be held, in light of a global pandemic. The attached letter - which was presented to USPA and leadership at Skydive City (Z-Hills) earlier this week - expands on our concerns. It presents questions that need to be answered - by both the host dropzone as well as USPA - before Control Tower is willing to help facilitate this event.
We hope the community reads this letter and understands why, until these questions are answered to our satisfaction, we are unable to commit to participating in or providing scoring for the 2020 USPA Nationals.

Hey everyone! We're incredibly proud about how popular our "Fly With Pride" shirts were last season but our stock is getting low because of the winter boogie season. That being the case, we want to give everyone one last chance to order theirs before we run out! (https://controltowerteam.com/store/fly-with-pride-t-shirt)
Thank you again to everyone who has been rocking these shirts. We've seen photos of people in them from Maine to Florida and from New Zealand to Dubai. We're always so grateful to be part of an accepting and supportive community and we're so happy that we decided to produce these.
Also, stay tuned for our next limited edition shirts!
