Jared Scheid is the sole US athlete in the 2025 line-up. He’s only been flying for five years but he won XRedRocks 2024, the premier North American hike and fly contest, ahead of athletes like Tanguy Renaud-Goud. “He’s a beast,” says former athlete and race commentator Gavin McClurg. Last year Jared clocked 250 hours in the air and has the Colorado distance record (344km).

As an adventurer he has made dozens of ascents of Colorado’s 14,000ers, flying and skiing from many of them. One climb was a 12 pitch 5.11 route up Notch Peak, Utah, which he flew from in the morning.
