Kristal Sequentials II: Skydiving + Skysurfing
As skydivers, there are two certainties in life: 1) gravity, and 2) the Kristal Sequentials being a kickass event. Team Kristal organized their second sequentials event for the 2012 season at Skydive Pamiers in France. Not only was there impressive sequentials and tracing flocks, but some skysurfing action too! I haven’t seen much skysurfing since…... Watch Video »

Friday Freakout: High Bar BASE Jump Goes Horribly ...
Every time I see a BASE jump, I’m always thinking, “You know what this needs… more gymnastics. Particularly, the high bar!” It turns out Norwegian BASE jumper Richard Henriksen had the same thought and did just that.

We all make mistakes, and the key... Watch Video »
