Kids Kicking Ass At World Indoor Skydiving Champio...
What the… whaaat??! I don’t know about you, but when I was 10 years old I was still shitting my pants, watching Scooby Doo, and rockin’ a Kool-Aid mustache. Meanwhile, Kyra Poh and Choo Yixuan of Team Firefly, aged 10 and 11 respectively, kicked some ass at the World Indoor Skydiving Championships where they competed... Watch Video »
Just... Jump: A Life Of Flight With TJ Landgren
World-class skydiver TJ Landgren was born to fly. As a child, he would jump off the roof of his house to pretend he could fly. Now he travels the world jumping out of planes, off cliffs, and everything in between — not to mention a few world records along the way. Thanks to The Aviator... Watch Video »
Wonder Why We Wingsuit?
Wingsuiting is one of those things in skydiving that’s easy to fall in love with. The first time I tried it I screamed and yahoooooo-ed for a full few minutes under canopy then promptly ordered a wingsuit (in hot pink, naturally). Videos like this from the S-Fly High Skill Camp 2012 in Propriano remind me... Watch Video »
Fun, Sun and Freefly Love
This video brings a whole new meaning to having fun in the sky. I don’t know about you, but our DZ is shut down for the winter and I sure as hell wish I was there jumping with these guys right now. Some fun flying. Sun shining. Smiles all round. That’s sky love, biatches. Watch Video »
Dream Lines 4 - What A Tease
Wingsuit pilot Jokke Sommer is taking wingsuit BASE jumping to a new level, again! I’m actually speechless, so I’ll just shut up now and let you watch this. It’s better than sex, and this is just a trailer of what’s to come. Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: BASE Riser Disconnect Malfunction
“Be conservative” says the ballsy Aussie who’s about to jump off a cliff into thick clouds. Needless to say, this jump is intense. Stick around ’til the end to see what a riser disconnect looks like as you spin into the river below. Whoops. Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: 2 Parachutes, 1 Nasty Mess.
Getting a leg wrapped up in your riser during deployment is definitely up there on the “ooooohhh fuuuucckk” list. Lets just say that the six-hundred-and-something square feet of trailing fabric probably wasn’t making this guy feel all warm and fuzzy inside — but a clean pair of underwear sure would.

Fly Up, BASE Down.
These guys are geniuses (genii?) and deserve a Nobel Prize, or to be knighted, or at least a few free pull-up cords. Beni Kälin and Dominik Wicki fly up to different exit points with their paragliders, then rock some sweet wingsuit BASE on the way down. Where do they stash all their paragliding gear on...

Stunt Junkies: Jonathan Tagle's 3-in-1 Stunt
The late Jonathan Tagle is flying high, wherever he is (RIP buddy), but his legendary stunts will stay with us forever. In this episode of Stunt Junkies, the one and only Tizzle attempts a rad 3-in-1 trifecta that goes from swooping to cutaway to BASE jump. Watch Video »
Wingsuit Rodeo Fail. Try Again. Wingsuit Rodeo Win...
Wingsuit pilot Josh Sheppard really wanted a wingsuit rodeo, so when the first attempt goes to shit, plan B is to make plan A work. Period. He ends up getting two rodeos for the price of one. Watch Video »
Eating In Freefall: Fast Food or Fine Dining?
Remember that Seinfeld episode when George Costanza combines sex and food? Well this is kind of like that. Just replace sex with skydiving (although adding sex into the mix would be the ultimate). These guys attempt “fine dining” in freefall, but I’m leaning more towards fast food. Really faaaast food. Definitely looks like fun, but... Watch Video »
Badass BASE Chicks: New Women's World Record
You remember Hege Ringard and her bikini BASE jump, right? Well Hege was also one of the 10 badass women to set a new BASE world record off the KL Tower in Malaysia. Special thanks to Douggs for organizing it, and congrats to all the new world record holders! Will you all marry me? Watch Video »
Mondial 2012: The World's Best Skydivers
Although not as intense as Skydive Dubai’s Mondial trailer, here’s a recap of Day 7 from the 2012 World Parachuting Championships at Skydive Dubai. This edit has it all… canopy piloting, artistic freefly, CRW, formation skydiving, VFS, and more. Oh, did I mention Nick Batsch broke his previous distance world record of 222 meters! Watch Video »
Break Out -- Brilliant Short On Body Flight
If there’s anything to learn from this awesome tunnel video, it’s this: DO NOT miss a huck jam at Paraclete XP SkyVenture! It’ll wipe that smile right off your face. Selwyn is usually a chipper fellow, but he’s not too happy when he misses an opportunity to fly with his friends at XP. Thanks to... Watch Video »
Rockin' Hard: Another Year Of Livin' The Dream
Another year has gone by and Jarno Cordia of Fly Like Brick is still rockin’ hard and livin’ the dream.

You... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Low Wingsuit Cutaway At 800ft
How’s this for a first cutaway — in a wingsuit no less: a tension knot which leads to a cutaway at 2,500ft and an open reserve by 800ft. Unfortunately we can’t choose how good/bad our first cutaway will be, or any other cutaway for that matter. What and when was your first cutaway? Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Mr. Bill Malfunction. Don't Do Th...
A Mr. Bill with inexperienced jumpers can go wrong really fast — like getting wrapped up in your pilot chute and bridle right out the door. Take notes… don’t do this! I’m sure it sounded like a good idea at the time. What could possibly go wrong? Watch Video »
Skydiving With Teddy Bears Helps Sick Kids...
This video makes me want to jump out of an airplane with a teddy bear. Big time. Because that bear will then go to a kid in the hospital, giving them happiness and a symbol of bravery to help them through their own struggle. The founders of Canopies For Kids have obviously created something they... Watch Video »
The Human Slingshot
What goes up must come down. The human slingshot at Skydive Dubai was a huge crowd-pleaser during the 2012 World Parachuting Championships. And I thought the human catapult at Bridge Day was cool. I want one of these for Christmas. What’s on your wish list? Watch Video »
"Beginners" BASE Jumping Off Mt. Brento
I’m pretty sure they’re kidding about the “beginner” part. These guys (and girl) know their stuff when it comes to BASE — well, at least the freefall part, but some of those landings looked rough. Check out this sick BASE jumping off Monte Brento in Italy. Watch Video »
