USIS Q & A with 2-Way-Dynamic team Daniel Cordido and Dusty Shaw

In their first time competing together at the 2018 Indoor Skydiving National Championship Danielle Cordido and Dusty Shaw finished fourth in the Open Dynamic-2-way competition. Their placement qualified them for the upcoming 2019 FAI World Cup of Indoor Skydiving, where they will compete against the best flyers in the world. How did you both get into indoor skydiving? Daniel: It was sort of an accident. In 2012, I was looking for more work and a friend of mine showed me a job listing for iFLY. I originally applied for a CSR position, but the manager at the time said they needed an instructor. At first, I rejected it because I didn’t know what I was getting into, but after he explained all that went into it I eventually accepted it.  Dusty: Once I graduated high school I went to get my skydiving license. I applied to iFLY in Austin Texas and they actually denied me at first, so I started bartending and waiting tables. One day I heard about a position opening up, I applied again
