Friday Freakout: Bridle Wrap. Bag Lock. Oh F*CK!
Reaching around in a wingsuit to pull your pin when your bridle is wrapped around your hackey is a bit of a joy-killer. As is the resulting bag lock. Luckily for Walker Mackey his reserve plays nice and comes out clean. Bet that brought a smile to his face! Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Close Call Wingsuit Collision
Wingsuit fly-bys can be fun. Unintentional, unplanned fly-bys can be scary as hell. This was a close call and could’ve been avoided had he paid less attention to shooting video and more attention to his surrounding environment. Videos are cool; staying alive is even cooler. Live and learn. Keep your head on a swivel and... Watch Video »

During the HYPOXIC Summer Boogie Tour, our friend Trunk managed to convince a plane full of bikini-wearing chicks to straddle a massive inflatable pecker in freefall… but he almost gets taken out by the projectile.

Um, we can all agree that Yves “Jetman” Rossy is a total badass, right? Okay cool. Well he keeps upping his game, from controlled barrel rolls and flying loops around hot air balloons, to the world’s first flight beside a passenger aircraft — the Breitling DC-3. Not to mention footage from inside the aircraft as... Watch Video »

Now this is what I call “tunnel vision”… combining Red Bull, Fred Fugen and Vince Reffet (Soul Flyers), Håvard Flaat (Skywalkers) and Julien Guiho (Team4Speed) in a tunnel training session at Skydive Arena in Prague. Tunnel videos usually result in grainy footage and boring angles. But Red Bull can make anything look good! Oh, and... Watch Video »

Jackass: Skydiver Jumps Without Parachute. WTF?!
Scott Plamer and Mick are two of my wonderful friends, and I remember when this was happening. I definitely thought Plamer was a INSANE for doing it, but that’s only because I love him and didn’t want to see him go in. I mean, holy shit, jumping WITHOUT a parachute??? Seriously, what if it doesn’t... Watch Video »

To say this story is intense would be an understatement. It’s 61 seconds of terror. In short, a skydiver’s reserve pops open in the door and rips off the tail of the plane. The remaining skydivers make it out before the plane goes into a violent spin, but the pilot gets trapped as the door... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Skydiver Breaks Leg. Snap! Crackl...

Sweet Swooping Skills: The Double Miracle Man
Vince Reffet of Babylon Freefly proves that not only is he a badass freeflyer, but he can rock his Velocity more than most, too. Impressive level flight as he twists himself twice around during his swoop across the ground. And he even drags a little “pond” at the end there… hehehe. Watch Video »

Blast from the past for sure! Legendary skysurfer, Rob Harris, filmed by equally legendary videographer, Joe Jennings. Skysurfing used to be the main thing anyone wanted to do when they started skydiving, and now very few people do it. What a great video to honor one of our fallen friends and to highlight a cool...
