Aaron Neil – The Unpredictable Challenger

Aaron Neil is a fierce competitor who brings a mix of aggressive speed and technical precision to the BPC circuit. His ability to stay composed under pressure makes him a dangerous opponent, but inconsistencies in trick execution and altitude awareness have cost him key victories. Over multiple BPC events, Aaron has shown both flashes of brilliance and moments of struggle, making him one of the most unpredictable competitors in the field.

​

Aaron is a predominantly a line flyer, he started flying at Ifly Downunder in 2019 and has been one of the fastest progressing sport flyers at this time. His aggressive and big line style has seen him be a difficult competitor to match with the other flyers not knowing what's coming next due to him progressing so fast and always adding another trick to his bag.
