Friday Freakout: Dumb and Dumber, Dirty Low Pull
This is ninety seconds of dumb and dumber. At least he realized how dumb this was and hopefully learned from it. In other news, I’ve heard AADs save lives, and rumor has it that flaring helps for soft landings. I still think this insane dirty low pull is the lowest I’ve ever seen — it’s... Watch Video »
Skydiver's Barrel Roll Landing Close To Ground
What do you get when using your rears and harness close to the ground on a Velo 90? A barrel roll that scares the shit out of everyone watching. This must be more fun than the dizzying 1080 swoop I posted last week. Some might say Ryan has big balls for trying this, while others... Watch Video »
Skydiving... With A Bowling Ball!
When Niklas Daniel isn’t setting his parachute on fire with gas and gun powder, he’s having fun in the sky (as if exploding canopies weren’t fun enough). Niklas got great footage of this off-site jump with a bowling ball at the 8th annual Mother Of All Boogies at Skydive Moab. Do you think it was... Watch Video »

Jeb Corliss, check. The Sputnik crack, check. Balloons, check. Scared target man diving for cover, check… all of the ingredients for a badass wingsuit proximity flying video.

Friday Freakout: Parachute Catches Fire, Goes BOOM...
Legendary skydive cinematographer Joe Jennings was asked to coordinate a burning parachute stunt for a music video. Normally they soak the parachute in gasoline and build an ignition switch. But the first attempt didn’t work, so they added gun powder and closed off the front cells to prevent the fuel from drying out too quickly.... Watch Video »
Amazing Collection: The Art of Flight
This is an oldie but a goodie released earlier this year by Phoenix-Fly called “The Need 4 Speed: The Art of Flight.” It’s a collection of proximity wingsuit flying footage during the 2009/2010 season by a group of talented wingsuit BASE jumpers, including Jokke Sommer, Robert Pecnik, Dominik Loyen, and the late Mirko Schmidt and...

Dizzying 1080 Degree Swoop
Gettin’ dizzy just watching this skydiver crank out a 1080 degree hook turn while swooping. This reminds me of Nick Batsch’s hook turns on a 2.97 wingload when he was testing the JPX Petra 69 prototype from Icarus Canopies. Watch Video »

Jeb jumped from a helicopter 6,500 feet above the mountain before flying through the 360-foot-tall, 96-foot-wide, 260-foot-long hole in... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: GoPro Camera Catches On Reserve H...
Don’t get me wrong, I love GoPro! But GoPro cameras and metal handles don’t play nice with each other — especially when freeflying. Yet another reminder to watch those GoPros and protect your handles. On the bright side, at least she didn’t lose her reserve handle. What’s your take on GoPros and/or metal handles? Watch Video »

Mike Holmes survived a nasty double malfunction at Taupo Tandem Skydiving in New Zealand, making a nauseating thud as he hit the ground at 70+ MPH. His intense footage aired on the Today Show shortly after his accident in December 2006. I’m not sure that luckily landing in a plump patch of blackberry bushes helped... Watch Video »
