It is not the first time that Robyn does these type of unusual and thrilling stunts.
In 2017, she performed an even stranger trick when she did a ‘wing-suit rodeo’ with two other skydivers in Arecibo, Puerto Rico.
The complicated stunt consists of one ‘rider’ sitting on another skydiver who is laying horizontally.
With a rider, the rodeo pair falls faster down at around 5,000feet above ground level, before the ‘rider’ jumps off.
‘Wing-suit rodeos’ are advanced and require a lot of skill and technique.
On her IMDb biography, it says Robyn is an ‘artistic soul who loves kicking, punching, climbing up walls, breaking stuff with bats, ninja activities and helicopter and balloon jumping in the morning are [her] cup of coffee ‘
