Miles Above – A Family Affair

YouTube Description: Way back in ’96, a 14-year old Andy Farrington asked his mum if he could please have a motorcycle to ride to school. Something small, slow and super-safe. Her reply? “No way, son, you’ll get yourself killed. Now strap on this parachute and let’s get another jump in before the sun sets.” You see, the Farrington’s have always been a high flying family. Ever since fighter pilot Grandpa started one of the first skydiving clubs in the Pacific Northwest. These days, his grandsons Luke Aikins and Andy Farrington continue the tradition as two of the RBAF’s top wingsuit and canopy pilots, proving that the family that dives together, thrives together.

My Life at Speed Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer, Chris Nazarenus, had a chance meeting with key executives at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 1998. It would be the "Jerry McGuire" moment that would change her life forever. Although she knew nothing about motorsports at that time, the chance meeting would influence her passion for all things fast, great stories and interesting people.
