Friday Freakout: CRAZY - Grandma Falls Out of Skyd...
OMG! This has to be one of the craziest/scariest tandem videos I’ve ever seen. Kinda makes me feel sick just watching it, but luckily this tandem instructor’s negligence ends without casualty. Long story short, this 80 year-old grandma does a tandem skydive for her birthday and nearly falls out of the harness because it’s not... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Swooping. Low Turn. Femured. Ouch...
Swooping and low turns don’t go well together. Gravity and broken femurs do though. Stay away from the latter… it’s not a good combo. Unless you’re one of those “chicks dig scars” kinda guys. Even then, I don’t recommend it. Just ask this guy. Watch Video »
Project XRW: Flying Dreams Over Skydive Sebastian
Absolutely incredible footage from Project XRW of wingsuiters flying alongside parachutes over Skydive Sebastian.

The exit shot of the wingsuit pilots… wow!... Watch Video »

Congrats to stuntman Gary Connery on making aviation history on May 23, 2012 as the first skydiver in the world to land a wingsuit without a parachute. The landing strip consisted of 18,000 cardboard boxes stacked 350ft long, 40ft wide and 12ft deep. Crazy, but way cool. What an amazing “first”… that’s beer Gary! Watch Video »

Intentional Cutaways. Many, Many Cutaways
Cutaways are a strange thing… we don’t want to have them, but we also want to know all about them so we feel prepared if and when we ever have one. One way to prepare is to do an intentional cutaway on a system with a tertiary reserve like the one in this video, which... Watch Video »
Voss Show Reel... Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool.
HOLY… SHIT. Damn, I don’t even know where to begin. Freakin’ downright not-fucking-around amazing footage. I mean, a snowmobiler does a flip over a swooping parachute. And that’s after killer paraglider and swoop demo footage, on top of swooping the mountains, and jumping over snow-capped everything. This is a must watch! These Scandanavians do some...

Project Blanix: Wingsuit + Glider Plane Formation
Following Red Bull’s glider-to-glider stunt, the Red Bull Skydive Team performed a spectacular performance high in the skies above Austria well worthy of any James Bond film. As part of the Blani(X) 3 project, the five-man team set off in hot pursuit of two Blanik gliders cruising 13,000 feet (about 4,000 meters) above the ground,... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: BASE Jumper Survives Impact Off 6...
Some of you might find this a bit disturbing to watch, but luckily this BASE jumper survives after hitting the water from a dirty low pull. If this was a low pull contest, I’m pretty sure he won. Don’t forget to pull, people. It’ll save your life. Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: How NOT To Exit An Aircraft!
This exit is just plane painful. Pun intended. Excuse me one moment while I put on my helmet… I was just reminded why we (should) all wear one. I might even consider wearing two after watching this :) Watch Video »
Hardcore HALO: Skydiving From 30,000 Feet
This is what it looks like to do a HALO skydive from 30,000 feet (otherwise known as High Altitude Low Opening)… pretty quiet in the airplane before exit, sipping on oxygen. Mmm, delish. I love how this tandem student was like, “13,000 feet?? No way. I wanna jump from 30,000!” Hardcore. Now that’s some decent... Watch Video »

Hahahaaha! We’ve all been there, and if you haven’t, you will be. And by “there” I mean funneling your friends, flipping onto your back, etc. Funny compilation of some skydiving chaos and mayhem at Skydive Empuriabrava. Sometimes the most fun is when it doesn’t go to plan… right? Watch Video »

Friday Freakout: Paratrooper Survives 50-Foot Cuta...
Talk about a close call. This has to be one of the LOWEST cutaways I’ve ever seen. Two paratroopers get wrapped up and one of them chops his main less than 50 feet (give or take) above the ground, and luckily his reserve opens 15 feet before impact. Pardon me while I change my underwear! Watch Video »

What do you do when your AFF student’s toggle comes unstowed in freefall? Do nothing? Watch it flop around like spaghetti? The instructor in this video had a pretty sweet (slash scary, slash dangerous) save, and managed to unstow the other toggle on deployment. Luckily it worked; the student had a nice on-heading opening and... Watch Video »
