Skydiving Stretches… In Freefall
I prefer warming up and stretching before gearing up for a jump, but apparently Angela Tara Hsu of STF Block Party XP (formerly STF 4Loko) likes to get her stretch on in freefall. Or maybe she’s just doing a freestyle routine; what do I know. View Photo »

The Wingsuit Invasion
If you haven’t been to the biggest New Year’s skydiving boogie in Florida, you need to get down to Skydive Sebastian for the Invasion this year. It’s one party you don’t want to miss. This is a shot of Patrick Everson, Richard Parkin and William Onieal on a wingsuit flock at the 2011 Invasion. Photo... View Photo »

Skydiving Dropkick to the Throat
Writing the title just cracked me up. Although it looks that way, it actually isn’t nearly as dramatic as a foot to the throat; it’s a foot dock by Cristian Vasari from the 2011 Halloween Boogie at the Atmonauti-Center FlyZone-Fermo in Italy. Photo by David Costa. View Photo »
My Skis Can Fly
If this shot of Neil Amonson of the GoPro Bomb Squad is good enough to be featured as GoPro’s Photo of the Day, then it’s good enough for us. Great shot Neil! View Photo »

Wingsuit Flies Under Cable Car
Joby Ogwyn flying his wingsuit under a cable car during the BASE jumping event in China this past summer. Aside from Jeb Corliss flying his wingsuit through a mountain, a lot of great footage was captured at this event, including Matt Gerdes’ Chinese Scenes edit and an amazing shot of Jokke Sommer blazing past a...

Old School Skydiving: Don't Try This At Home
This is an old school shot before my time, so I’m not really sure what’s going on here. But it seems like a great way to squeeze in a few more skydivers on a full load. Anyone know more details about this shot? Photo via Jeremy Renkil. View Photo »
Santa Spotted BASE Jumping in Australia
So apparently that wasn’t Santa’s first BASE jumping video I posted on Christmas Day; it appears he’s been jumping a lot longer than I thought. Santa was spotted BASE jumping off the Blues Point Tower in Sydney, Australia on Christmas Eve — circa 1998. Photo by Mark Dunbar. View Photo »

Hayabusa: The Best Of The Best
Team Hayabusa, one of the best 4-way formation skydiving teams in the world, practicing at Skydive Empuriabrava in Spain. Hayabusa was stronger and faster than ever in 2011; I’m looking forward to following their progress and accomplishments in 2012. Another stunning shot by Danny Jacobs. View Photo »
