Leonid Volkov: The Nureyev of Indoor Skydiving
They call him The Showman – and for good reason. Russia’s Leonid Volkov, 29, has shaken up the indoor skydiving competition scene since first blasting into it five years ago.
Consistently one of the best performers in his chosen discipline of Freestyle, watching Volkov fly is more like watching a dancer perform, or an actor act. His performance starts outside the tunnel, as he adopts the character he has decided to be.
