What does it mean for you to take part in the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series?
Over the last year it has been my goal to compete in the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series because it would mean that I get to travel around the world and dive in the most amazing places. It’s really satisfying knowing I’ve accomplished part of that goal.
The Hawkesbury River remains Kyle's favourite cliff diving spot after his participation in the 2011 qualification competition. The fourth American to take part in qualifying for the 2012 edition is delighted to once again get the chance to prove his ability. After graduating from university, the 23-year-old has dedicated even more time to diving since mid season and now wants to push himself into the field of regular participants.
