Head-Down Hybrid: Hanging Upside Down
This looks like something I’d totally want to try — well, minus sticking my feet into my friends’ chest straps! Lol. Head down hybrid hanging… for real. Starting off in a normal hybrid, they work into their first head-down attempt. What I like most is these guys gave it a shot, a safe shot, and... Watch Video »
Skydivers Baking Bread? This Music Video = All Sor...
Wow. Just, wow. Pink spandex, frap hats and plastic food items. Flying microphones, guitars, and “baker man baking bread” in freefall. I feel like I’m having some kind of weird trippy retro skydiving dream! But I have to admit I enjoyed the tune, including the Mary Poppins cameo and a mid-flight trumpet. Definitely made me...

Friday Freakout: Where's Waldo? Near Mid-Air Colli...
Soooo, a skydiver in this group fell below the formation and instead of getting back up to the formation or watching them until break-off, he just decided to track off in a random direction and hope for the best. Without knowing where Waldo went, the videographer tracks away at break-off and nearly collides in mid-air... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Skydiving Student's Low, Low, LOW...
Maintaining altitude awareness is a good thing. Having an instructor that saves your ass is even better, especially when you’re flopping around on your back and then you freeze at pull time, like deer in the headlights. Before watching the very last second of this video, take a guess at his deployment altitude. Watch Video »
Parachute + Snowmobile = Parasledding
Mind. Blown. No, this has nothing to do with skydiving or BASE jumping, but it’s way too cool not to share. And I’m pretty sure this has never been done before. Introducing parasledding, where paragliding and snowmobiling are combined for one hell of a badass ride down a mountain! Watch Video »
Skydiving Outro: Slow Down, We're Dreaming
Have you ever had that feeling in freefall when everything slows down, almost as if time is standing still, like a dream? This video from Jakob Aungiers aims to replicate that experience, and it’s set perfectly to M83′s “Outro” from their album “Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming.” Speaking of which, check out our edit, Distortion In...

Voss Ventus: Vonderful Vindtunnel Video
Voss Ventus competed and won “The Battle of Bottrop 2012,” which was the first tunnel competition of its kind to focus on the new concept of Dynamic Freefly 4-way. A few days prior to the competition, the team got together at Voss Vind — the vvvind tunnel in Voss, Norway — to work on their... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Zoo Dive, Close Call Openings
Talk about a zoo dive. Here’s a dozen skydivers on a tracking jump at the Invasion 2012 and a few of the people that fell behind get a little too close for comfort, tracking over each other — and towards each other — at break-off. The 180 opening didn’t help either. Compared to this other... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Skydiver Hits Head HARD On Plane!
The skyvan was flying at the Invasion 2012, and this is a good example of how NOT to exit said aircraft. We call it “jumping” for a reason… because we’re jumping out of planes, not casually stepping out of them. Despite how bad this looks/sounds, luckily he was wearing a helmet and he landed safely...
