About the Team Fastrax Project

Formed in 2002, Team Fastrax was created to promote the sport of skydiving in a positive way.
The project started with Men's Four-Way Formation Team and has grown to include a Canopy Piloting Team and a Demonstration/Tandem Team.

Each member of the project is drug free and lives the vision of promoting our sport as professional athletes should, as role models and ambassadors of the skydiving community.

Each team is ranked among the highest in the world and strives for excellence in their personal and team training.

The team has a 3500 square foot fitness center, located in Cincinnati, Ohio, which was built specifically for members of the project and training takes place at Skydive Arizona in Eloy, AZ during the winter months and Start Skydiving in Middletown, OH during the summer.

The Men's Four-Way Team "FASTRAX" is made up of John Hart, Niklas Hemlin, Doug Park, Mark Kirkby and Steve Redinbo. The team trains full-time, making more than 1000 training jumps per year and trains in a wind tunnel an additional 50 hours per year.

The team won the Bronze Medal at the 2004 US Nationals and placed fourth at the 2005 Anton Malevsky World Cup in Russia.
