Fun "Inverted" RW Skydiving
AJ and Boz do some “inverted” RW skydiving at Skydive Burnaby in Wainfleet, Ontario. All goes well, sort of… Boz ends up on his belly every time he tries to flip on his back — like a real badminton birdie. This looks like tons-o-fun! Now let’s see an inverted 8-way :) Watch Video »

Navy SEALs HALO Jump
Hooyah! This is a mashup from the movie “Navy Seals” (1990) with the song “Irreversible” by VHS or Beta during a HALO skydive from 30,000 feet. Even though the song has great build up, this scene has a bit of a cheese factor to it — minus the 4 minutes of freefall in movies like... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Crazy Canopy Wrap With Paraglider
Infinity tumbling on a paraglider can be a lot of fun. Especially when you first learn how… until you try one too many tumbles and become gift wrapped in your own canopy. David, you’re one lucky guy; that was quite the mess you were in! Good job on pulling your reserve with your arm caught... Watch Video »

Proximity Flying: 40 Seconds of Tickle
Badass wingsuit proximity flying by Matt Gerdes — author of The Great Book of BASE. This is a crazy line, and may be one of the longest “no pull zones” in BASE jumping I’ve seen yet.

Funny "Planking" Skydive Exit
In an attempt to outdo the flying crane exit, Nasser Al Neyadi pulled off a new “planking” skydive exit over the Palm Islands at Skydive Dubai. I assume he climbed on the roof and slid off — kind of like a slip ‘n slide from 13,000 feet. How fun! You should also check out video... View Photo »
Friday Freakout: Sit Fly Premature Deployment
Ansar Mohammed got a nice surprise — a premature deployment — while sit flying with Whit Bakers, Andre Stepsky and Joe “The German” at Skydive Sebastian in Florida. He’s lucky he wasn’t head down when this happened, like this scary head down opening. Yet another reminder to check your pilot chute and closing loop before... Watch Video »
Flying Crane Exit... On Tracking Dive?
Instead of diving out of the Skyvan head-first like the rest of his friends, Marc “The Ninja” Pinault thought he’d show off his flying crane technique on exit for a tracking skydive at Parachute School of Toronto (PST). Photo by Freakfly. Great form buddy. I give this exit (the flying crane) an 8.5. On a... View Photo »
