The Awesomeness At Skydive Elsinore

Shannon Seyb — Wed, 22 May 2013 11:50:12 +0000

It’s super-mega-duper-epic-out-of-this-world dynamic flying, that’s what it is! With the line up of coaches like Peter Nilsson, Mikey Carpenter, Petter Jonsson, Steph Soria and countless of the other badasses featured in this vid, FlajFlaj at Skydive Elsinore is the Burning Man of sky jumping. You’ve GOT TO be there next year! I have no idea if you can pre-register this early (probably not), but I’m ’bout to call up Elsinore and get my name on the list.

Travis Pastrana Skydives Without Parachute

Andrew — Tue, 21 May 2013 12:00:50 +0000

Red Bull gives you balls! Just another day at the office for the guy who invented the MotoX double backflip, madman Travis Pastrana skydives over Arecibo, Puerto Rico without a parachute. It’s like that scene from the movie Point Break where Keanu Reeves skydives without a rig, only this is real. What do you think: coolness or recklessness?

Friday Freakout: Sttttrike! Swooper Hits Spectator.

Andrew — Fri, 17 May 2013 11:50:27 +0000

Sttttrike! A swooper takes out a “spectator” (for lack of a better term) at a respectable speed. Why wasn’t she watching?? No one can see how awesome you are if they’re not watching.

Friday Freakout: Reserve Parachute Rips Paratrooper Out Of Plane

Sydney Williams — Fri, 17 May 2013 11:45:50 +0000

Have you ever been in the plane on the way to altitude and people by the door only open it halfway? Let this video serve as a reminder as to why, if the door is open, we gotta push that bad boy all the way up. More air for everyone, and in the event that you find your reserve deploying in the plane, you won’t get stuck in the half-open door — or even worse, ripped through it. This one’s a doozy.

Stunning and surreal. Hands up if you’d like to have a skydiving holiday at Skydive Sebastian. Hells yeah! It seems the time to go is springtime to join in on the March Madness. Sunshine, tracking, zooming and sunsets. Winning combo.

Douggs’ Off-Heading Opening, Near Miss Cliff Strike

Shannon Seyb — Thu, 16 May 2013 11:50:40 +0000

“Fuckin’ hell, that was close. Closest I’ve ever come.” Spoken like a true Aussie ninja, talkin’ all casual as his end cells nearly hit the trees. This was Chris ‘Douggs’ McDougall’s first serious off-heading opening after 15 years and over 2,600 BASE jumps. If this was any closer, it would’ve ended up as a proper Friday Freakout cliff strike, but Douggs handled it like the pro that he is. But what else would ya expect – he’s from ‘Straya!

Bob Burnquist’s Grand Canyon Skateboard BASE Jump

Sydney Williams — Wed, 15 May 2013 11:45:46 +0000

Pro skater Bob Burnquist is badass. True story. Why hike the Grand Canyon or sit there and stare at it when you can ride your skateboard off a kicker, grind a rail, then BASE jump INTO it?! I mean, really. THIS is the way to see the glory that is the Grand Canyon.

This skydiving student is fine, just a minor bruise to his ego. In the wise words of Tyler Durden from Fight Club… “JUST LET GO!”

Friday Freakout: KABOOM! Parachute Rips In Half.

Melanie Curtis — Fri, 10 May 2013 11:49:48 +0000

Freefly transition + premature deployment = shredded main canopy. Now he has two parachutes for the price of one. Even I’m still seeing stars from the opening, and I only watched the video ;) All is well that ends well. Thanks to Joe Ridler for sharing his footage.

Friday Freakout: The Craziest Ground Rush You Will EVER See!!!

Andrew — Fri, 10 May 2013 11:49:30 +0000

Talk about GROUND RUSH! I can’t believe someone can hit the ground this hard and survive. My friend Liam Dunne of Deepseed is one lucky man. There are several factors that lead to this outcome, but the end result was a CYPRES save, intense ground rush, an 8 inch footprint in the ground, and surgery with 2 titanium rods and 4 screws holding his spine together. After almost a year of rehab, Liam will miraculously be jumping later this year. To read all the details about this incident, check out the Deepseed “Know Your Shit” blog post.

Aussie XRW: Slow Wingsuits, Fast Parachutes

Andrew — Thu, 09 May 2013 11:50:34 +0000

For the past year, a few Australian wingsuiters have been trying to fly like they had small canopies open. Meanwhile, canopy pilot Griggsy had been trying to fly his small speed machine from Icarus Canopies (by NZ Aerosports) like it was a wingsuit. Good times were inevitable and this is the end result. More XRW for your viewing pleasure.
