Brandon "B" Atwood
My first few jumps were in Hollister,
CA in July of 1994. After that I moved to Boise, ID and finished my training in
Star, ID. I moved to Skydive Arizona in October of 2000 and have been here ever
since. Some of my roles on the drop zone have included tandem packing, canopy coach,
ground operations, wind tunnel driver, and even lawn mowing. I joined the local
vertical formation skydiving team in 2007 and with my teammates Keith Fournier and
Paul Hardin, also joined the Rigging Innovations team. Today I am a member of the
VFS team Arizona Arsenal. I am proud to still be on the Rigging Innovations team.
They provide quality products and their passion for always improving is unsurpassed.

Hugues Orlianges
Portrait:
My love for sports led me to discover skydiving which has become a
true passion for me.
I started jumping in 2007 in Saumur, France, and did about 3600 jumps
since then.
I was a member of the French National CRW (2-way) Team for over three
years and now focus on Canopy Piloting.
I am an AFF / Static Line & Tandem Instructor and also a CRW coach.
Most of my life is made up of skydiving: I jump all year long to earn
a living, for fun and to compete.
When I'm not in a plane, I love to surf, base jump and paraglide.
I am happy and proud to belong to the Rigging Innovation(RI) family
and did the best jumps of my life with RI rigs on my back. Not only
are they an efficient and innovative manufacturer, they also have a
friendly team spirit that I found nowhere else.
My choice of containers is the amazing Curv.
I use Cypres 2 speed, and PD canopies: Optimum 99, Velocity comp 75&79.
Some of my accomplishments are:
