History:
A native of Venezuela, Cisco quickly became a force in skydiving by placing 1st in the speed event, 3rd in the distance event and 4th overall in the Canopy Piloting World Cup. But Cisco’s focus is different- his passion with skydiving is to show the general public how beautiful and dynamic the sport is. This is what led him to become one of the premier aerial videographers and photographers in the world. With motivated individuals like Cisco, the sport of skydiving will undoubtedly grow in size and respect.
