Friday Freakout: Skydiving Student's Low, Low, LOW...
Maintaining altitude awareness is a good thing. Having an instructor that saves your ass is even better, especially when you’re flopping around on your back and then you freeze at pull time, like deer in the headlights. Before watching the very last second of this video, take a guess at his deployment altitude. Watch Video »
Parachute + Snowmobile = Parasledding
Mind. Blown. No, this has nothing to do with skydiving or BASE jumping, but it’s way too cool not to share. And I’m pretty sure this has never been done before. Introducing parasledding, where paragliding and snowmobiling are combined for one hell of a badass ride down a mountain! Watch Video »
Skydiving Outro: Slow Down, We're Dreaming
Have you ever had that feeling in freefall when everything slows down, almost as if time is standing still, like a dream? This video from Jakob Aungiers aims to replicate that experience, and it’s set perfectly to M83′s “Outro” from their album “Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming.” Speaking of which, check out our edit, Distortion In...

Why Does Dexter Skydive?
If you asked Dexter Marcelino why he skydives (you remember Dexter from this INCREDIBLE pic, right?), this is the closest thing to an answer that he could give you.

Join Vincent Cotte as he flies some tight (and impressive) lines in his tracking suit. Who needs wingsuits? Track or die! This reminds me of Andrey Karr flying his tracking suit down the World Wingsuit League course. Watch Video »

The Endless Summer
Most of us wish summer would never end, especially those of us who live through a proper winter with snowshoes, igloos and dogsleds. That is, unless you’re one of those people that swap your rig for a snowboard around this time of year… traitor! Well it looks like Mason Corby kept the party going in... Watch Video »

Not only was Kurt adventurous and a talented wingsuit pilot, but he was generous and giving, often... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Zoo Dive, Close Call Openings
Talk about a zoo dive. Here’s a dozen skydivers on a tracking jump at the Invasion 2012 and a few of the people that fell behind get a little too close for comfort, tracking over each other — and towards each other — at break-off. The 180 opening didn’t help either. Compared to this other... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Skydiver Hits Head HARD On Plane!
The skyvan was flying at the Invasion 2012, and this is a good example of how NOT to exit said aircraft. We call it “jumping” for a reason… because we’re jumping out of planes, not casually stepping out of them. Despite how bad this looks/sounds, luckily he was wearing a helmet and he landed safely...
