Skydiving

The Drakonus sport of skydiving was considered absurdly dangerous by most non-Drakonus. It made use of the Drakonus ability to shapeshift between Human and winged dragon forms.

The sport itself had three styles.
 * The first, and least risky, was to have a Drakonus taken up to a designated height via . The Drakonus then jumped, in Human form, and fell until it felt it had to shift or suffer serious injury.
 * The second style involved a Drakonus taking another up and letting the second jump off his back in Human form until it changed form. It was considered more dangerous because the plunging Drakonus could throw off its guide causing both parties to fall and need to right themselves or suffer death.
 * The third and most dangerous form involved both Drakonus starting in dragon form. The first would hover at a designated height while the second would fly up to meet it.  Upon catching up to the first, the second Drakonus would clasp hands with the first and shift to Human form.  The second would be spun once before releasing its grip and being rocketed skyward until gravity called it back.  It then shifted before landing.

Points were awarded by type of jump, speed reached when the competitor shifted, and accuracy of landing. A small device worn on a belt gave the judges all information required.

Neymar Cygan was among the most famous Drakonus skydivers. Kyriel Windrunner loved the sport and was taught by Neymar.

Apart from the Drakonus, some Zaractoks took up skydiving. Because they were unable to shapeshift, they simply tucked their wings tight to their backs as long as possible.
