Doni Gales, 23, was named the record holder for most most front split spins in a wind tunnel in one minute after she completed 55 rotations in 60 seconds at iFLY Down Under in Penrith, New South Wales.

"Our Chief Instructor at the Penrith tunnel has one of the records for the most head down spins, he taught me so I thought that the fact that he had a record was awesome and it made me want to go for it," Gales told The Western Weekender newspaper. Gales said dancing since the age of 3 helped prepare her for the rigors of indoor skydiving. "I really like flying because there are so many different possibilities, having that dancing and gymnastic background, you can be really creative and experimental with how you use the wind and how that pushes your body around," she said.
