Friday Freakout: Crazy Cliff Strike. Not Once, But...
Seeing as this is a BASE jump, it’s a pretty short jump and canopy ride. But try telling that to the BASE jumper after bashing himself into a wall not once, but TWICE! That shit’s gotta hurt. Ouch. Not something we advise trying — ever. But good on ‘em for keeping his cool and (we... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: 3 Parachutes + 1 Skydiver = Nasty...
Man, you can never have too much nylon! Too right! And not only does he survive being wrapped up in three canopies (including his reserve), but he steers that mess with his right hand and his left foot to land safely in a field. True story. What a BADASS! Watch Video »

Designing Parachutes Is Super Easy. Just Ask PD.
It’s no secret Performance Designs makes some of the best canopies on the market, but who knew it was this easy?! Lots of Red Bull, playing with scissors, and a little fire. Everyone and their brother should be making parachutes. Watch Video »

Friday Freakout: Pilot Chute Catches On Plane. Wat...
Another visual reminder to watch your handles in the plane! This skydiver’s pilot chute gets caught on the inside of the skyvan door. Luckily it wasn’t a caravan or otter where the parachute can get caught on the tail of the plane, like this guy. Watch your HANDLES! Watch YOUR handles! WATCH YOUR HANDLES! Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Skydiver vs. Parachute, Deadly Co...
Videos like this don’t usually exist. The reason? Most people would be dead after hitting a canopy in freefall. The upper guy struck the lower guy with both hands on his way by in freefall. I’ve posted some collision close calls in the past, but this is as close as it gets and still living... Watch Video »

"Free" Flying - Summer Skydiving In Shorts-n-Tshir...
There’s just something really fun about flying in shorts and t-shirts… it’s like you’re goofing off even more than you already are.

Safe Skydiving Antics: Condoms In Freefall
Skydiving antics… never fails. In this episode, Team Go4It experiment with condoms in freefall. Yup, you read that correctly. What did they discover? That 120 mph wind is in fact too much. They explode. True story. Well, unless you put the condom on a banana in freefall. Pretty ridiculous (and educational, right?), and therefore worth... Watch Video »
