Starting her skydiving career jumping round parachutes in her universities skydiving club, there was no doubt that if Vana Parker was going to be active in the sport, it wasn’t going to be in the UK. Luckily for her, South Africa was soon to be where she called home, and finding the nearest dropzone to her quickly became priority number one. With an incredibly competitive personal drive and even after dealing with early injuries, Vana found herself embracing formation skydiving and all that it had to offer. Now, having chased her competitive dreams over the course of an almost 30 year career, she and her fellow hard charging and incredibly dedicated team members have managed to stand at the top of the podium on the world stage with medals around their necks and their national anthem playing; but getting there wouldn’t have happened without absolute focus and determination, nor did it happen without disappointment and controversy. Yet through it all, Vana is still just as passionate today as she was when her journey began, and she’s the first to admit that there doesn’t seem to be any end to her Lunatic Fringe journey in sight.
