The Mystery Cutaway. Whodunit?
Remember to protect and check your handles, folks! Phil of The Bombdigity, a 4-way formation skydiving team, had his cutaway handle mysteriously dislodged and fly off into the blue. Whodunit?!

Friday Freakout: AFF Instructor Low Pull + Malfunc...

Some days are better than others. Unfortunately for this paraglider, this just wasn’t his day. And I’m sure the next morning wasn’t any better. Maybe he was trying to copy Nick Batsch’s truck landing, but the timing was a little off? At least he learned a lesson: use the crosswalk next time. Watch Video »
