Palm Power: Fun Flying Over The Desert
I know, I know, another great video from Dubai. Sigh. But really, they’re doing all kinds of fun stuff over there. And now that my favorite pilot has up and moved to the desert and is now rubbing elbows with His Highness on the regular, I fully expect to see shots of Dean in Dubai... Watch Video »
Disco BASE Jumping -- by Betabrand
What could be better than BASE jumping in Greece, Switzerland and Malaysia, you ask? Well how about draping yourself in Betabrand’s shiny disco gear — made from 100% disconium. It’s better than velvet! Watch Video »
The Most Ridiculous Skydiving Music Video. Ever!
I’m not sure what the hell I just watched, but this just might be the most ridiculous skydiving music video I’ve ever seen. Runner-up is the old school skydiving music video for “Baker Man.” And then there’s Planet Funk’s official music video, which is actually pretty rad. Which one of those 3 skydiving music videos...

Swooping The Alps
That’s what I’m talkin’ about! Who needs skis for speedflying when you can just swoop your PD Storm down some steep terrain in the Alps. Watch Video »

Friday Freakout: Low Wingsuit Cutaway, No AAD, Ope...
While wingsuits are all the rage these days, it’s often overlooked that — should a series of events go wrong — you’re now falling toward the earth in a straitjacket. No matter how you slice it, a low deployment followed by a malfunction (without an RSL or AAD), several revolutions on your back, a head-down... Watch Video »
BASE 3-Way CRW Stack?? Yup, That Just Happened!
As if BASE jumping isn’t already an inherently dangerous sport… now let’s add some CRW (canopy relative work) for shits and giggles. Congrats to Max Bruffell, Jamie Flynn, and Maria Steinmayr for pulling this off. BASE and CRW go together like, um…. bah, I’ve got nothin’. This is new to me, and pretty crazy/awesome. Watch Video »
Artistic Wingsuit Flocking
Now that’s some cool flocking flocking! And flocking of the wingsuit variety. It’s always a pleasure to watch Jarno Cordia’s footage, with his dynamic flying and carving around the formations. Check out this fun footage with various groups — both big and small — flying together after the 2012 Artistic Wingsuit Competition in Siofok, Hungary. Watch Video »
Pass The Pull-Up Cord @ Skywalkers Flight Camp
The Skywalkers hosted a freefly camp in Bucharest and this is a compilation of all that flocking… tons of it. Some upright, some head down, and some of a Fazza Sky tube. It’s fun. Check it out. Watch Video »
Extreme Skydiving: Ironing Clothes In Freefall
Extreme ironing (yes, ironing clothes!) in freefall by Mike Frost and Steve Scott is right up there with solving a Rubik’s cube in freefall, as well as chasing hamburgers out of an airplane, and let’s not forget the skydiving tattoo that set a world record. What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done in the sky? Watch Video »
Guinness World Record Hot Air Balloon Skydives
On February 10th, 2013, Skydive Dubai Desert Campus set two official Guinness World Records… 1) the most skydivers to jump from a hot air balloon simultaneously (25 skydivers), and 2) the most skydivers to jump from a hot air balloon during the same flight (40 skydivers). The third record was unofficial due to technical reasons:... Watch Video »
King Boogie Ass is Kicking Boogie Ass!
A great video from the King Boogie Ass 2012 by Johannes Bergfors — the creator of Slow Is Fast. Fave moment for me? I can’t decide between the feet first tracking into the sun, the badass beer swoop, or the traffic light door signals. Lots of epicness. And LOVING the cameo from Petter Jonsson of... Watch Video »
The Crack: Tiger In A Wingsuit
You all remember “The Crack” in Switzerland, right? Of course you do. Well it’s been a while since we posted some footage from this line, so it’s time to hit the pipe again. Here’s Tiger doing his thang with a nice visual wingsuit flight through The Crack. Enjoy. Watch Video »
Insane City Stunt: Wingsuit Squeezes Between Offic...
This might be the sickest thing you’ve seen all day! Getting permits and permission to do urban stunts — like flying your wingsuit between two office buildings in Rio de Janeiro — is for chumps. Just hire an air trike to take you up to altitude at 5 A.M. and get it done. Jokke Sommer... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Sled BASE Jump Almost Ends In Dis...
Instead of a tried and true ski-BASE exit, Dennis Ohlsen opted to ride a sled off the edge of a snowy cliff. Sure, a fun idea in theory… until your sled gets stuck on the edge, sending you off said cliff with almost no forward speed. Dennis comes incredibly close to the cliff in his... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Snag Hazard, Horseshoe Malfunctio...
At a dropzone somewhere in Middle Earth, one skydiver did pitch his pilot chute through a loop of shock cord on his jacket. Holy horsehoe, Batman! With his reserve pilot chute entangled in the risers and the canopy turning, he makes a heroic effort to straighten it out before landing. We love happy endings to... Watch Video »
Sisters In Skydiving - Skydive Arizona 2013
The Working Girls (Lisa Mazzetta, Chazi Blacksher, Amy Benton) did it again, putting on a truly exceptional event for all skydiving sisters, despite the downpour all of Saturday! We took advantage of the downtime by learning and getting to know each other, and enjoyed the Bachelorette Party Sat night with fun panel discussions and my... Watch Video »
Solaris Freestyle at World Skydiving Championships
Freestyle is 1,000 percent awesome. We know that seems a bit exaggerated, but the gentlemen of Solaris are quite talented. Gymnastics in the air while donning a top hat? Yup, that just happened. I remember seeing videos of Merriah Eakins when I first started skydiving and I was blown away by what was possible in... Watch Video »
Double Dynamic Duo: 4 Days, 4-Way, 4Speed
The new concept of Dynamic Freefly is all the rage nowadays — flying that’s fluid and always moving through quadrants of the tunnel. Check out world champion VFS flyers, Team4Speed, as they rock some 4-way dynamic freefly at Paraclete XP. It’s like there are two dynamic routines going on simultaneously… separate, but entirely together. COOL. Watch Video »
David Hasselhoff's 5-Minute Near-Death Skydiving E...
Damn this is entertaining. Remember Baywatch? Of course you do! Remember when a single skydive would last 5 minutes? Didn’t think so. Remember when we used to wear hockey helmets for skydiving? Neither do I, but The Hoff can make anything look good. In this Baywatch episode, David Hasselhoff has a near-death skydiving experience. Watch Video »
