Ever wanted the adrenaline rush of jumping out of a plane but needed some inspiration? There's no better time to share in the passion, energy and excitement of skydiving as more than 100 female skydivers execute over 5,000 jumps at the nine-day 2011 Skysisters Convention.

The event being held in Toogoolawah, Queensland from April 22-30, includes the Skysisters challenging a total of six all-female National and World records including the impressive 8-way wingsuit World record with a 10-way of jumpers in multicoloured webbed 'wingsuit' outfits joining in perfect formation.

Other record attempts include the visually impressive 8-way National Canopy Formation Stack where jumpers stack up on one another's canopy or chutes in mid-air to replace the current 5-way record, as well as an Over-40's formation of 20 jumpers to replace the current 16-way National record. On the lighter side, there will be a unique jump called the 3-gen jump which involves three generations of a family jumping in tandem (Emma, her mother and grandmother) which should be one to watch out for on the program.
