Skydiving Grandma Loses Teeth In Freefall. LMAO.
I think I remember the commercials… Super Polident? Awesome denture adhesive. Yeah, that’s exactly what this skydiving grandma needed. That, or a tighter smile. Definitely worth the watch, and it’ll give you something to talk about at the water cooler. Silver lining in this one is some brand new pearly whites for Ms. Daisy! Watch Video »
Team FullPatate: Fast Freeflying Frenchmen

Friday Freakout: Close Collision. WTF Was That?!
“WTF was that?” That, sir, was a skydiver in freefall buzzing your canopy. This is NOT the way to start learning CRW (canopy relative work). Just saying. Close call indeed, also keeping in mind that objects are closer than they appear with a wide angle lens. Reminds me of the “Canopy Collisions For Dummies” freakout... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Swooper Skips Pond Like Stone
Yeeeeah, so you know how you can skip stones on a pond. Well you’re not supposed to try that using your body as the stone. Not gonna lie, it’s very rare that anyone gets to be featured twice for a Friday Freakout, but this is the same “swooper” who was clotheslined by a wire fence.... Watch Video »

The Not-So-Boring Christmas Boogie
Winter can get a little boring for us skydivers sometimes. What better time to feature an edit from Skydive Spain’s Christmas Boogie than smack-dab in the middle of summer. Just be happy there isn’t snow on the ground. Speaking of Christmas, check out Santa rocking out in the tunnel… too funny! Watch Video »
GoPro VOD: Incredible. Intense. Iceland.
GoPro’s Matthias “Super Frenchie” Giraud shows us the beauty — and danger — of BASE jumping in the unspoiled wilds of Iceland. In his own words, “From the moment you jump, it’s just this out of body experience, which is what life is all about. Without intensity or challenge in life, nobody reaches happiness. You...

Crazy CRW Dogs Land A Downplane
If you’re looking for a little more excitement before landing, there’s always the option of locking your legs together with another CRW dog and hurling your body towards the earth in a downplane. Heck, why not take it a step further, like the SkyHawks, and just land the downplane. Or not. These guys are part... Watch Video »
Dare To Dream: Jeb Corliss & Luigi Cani
It’s no secret that Jeb Corliss and Luigi Cani are living the dream. From the world’s first wingsuit flight between the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, to flying a wingsuit next to a fighter jet, to wingsuit target practice with some balloons. These guys don’t just sit around killing time. You know all those things... Watch Video »

The Skydiving Shoe. WTF.
No shit… there I was… I thought I was going to die… from a falling shoe! To quote Austin Powers, “Who throws a shoe, honestly?!” What’s the strangest thing you’ve ever lost in freefall? Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Crazy Low Pull = Free Boat Ride
Need boat? Step 1: Jump off big cliff in Norway with wingsuit. Step 2: Forget to pull. Step 3: Realize water isn’t as forgiving as 18,000 cardboard boxes for landing. Step 4: Pull parachute below 100 feet (give or take). Step 5: Land in cold water and yell for boat. Done and done. Thank me... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: PC Entanglement. The "F" Word Com...
Skydiving is generally a happy place of fresh air, freedom, and fun. Except for the odd occasion when you’re plummeting towards the ground entangled in your pilot chute with a shit-ton of lines everywhere. Then the only thing coursing through your veins is fear, and the only thing running through your mind is “Fuuuuuck!” Watch Video »

Human Flight With A Jetpack. For Real.
Have you ever dreamt of human flight? I’m not talking about “controlled falling.” I’m talking three-dimensional flight like a comic or video game, only real… up up down down left right left right (B)(A). Yves “Jetman” Rossy has made his dream a reality, and the more I see his jetpack flying skills improve, the more... Watch Video »
Awesome Wingsuit Race. Hilarious Ending. Who Will ...
Here are the rules: the first wingsuit to cross the finish line wins. Pretty simple. Except the finish line is on the ground, which makes for a pretty funny land-and-dash-to-the-finish-line-while-your-canopy-drags-you-down ending. Although not as entertaining, I personally would’ve swooped THROUGH the finish line for style points. You’ll definitely want to heck out this awesome edit... Watch Video »
The King Of Cork Flips
Hartman Rector is the king of cork flips, and he likes showing off new tricks. What are they called, you ask? May I present to you… the roly poly, misty 2160, lincon-rodeo, double-cork 1440, and sushi roll. Mmmmmm. Sushi. Watch Video »
Now THIS Is A Hybrid: 18-way + Pods
Now this is my idea of a hybrid jump. The peeps down at Skydive Spaceland in Houston linked an 18-way hybrid with pods, and thankfully it didn’t end with a nasty nutshot like this other hybrid-gone-wrong. Watch Video »
