An awesome HALO jump by a civilian from 30,000 feet… more than 2 minutes of freefall from 5.5 miles above the earth.

Travis Pastrana Skydives Without Parachute

Andrew — Tue, 21 May 2013 12:00:50 +0000

Red Bull gives you balls! Just another day at the office for the guy who invented the MotoX double backflip, madman Travis Pastrana skydives over Arecibo, Puerto Rico without a parachute. It’s like that scene from the movie Point Break where Keanu Reeves skydives without a rig, only this is real. What do you think: coolness or recklessness?

Friday Freakout: Reserve Parachute Rips Paratrooper Out Of Plane

Sydney Williams — Fri, 17 May 2013 11:45:50 +0000

Have you ever been in the plane on the way to altitude and people by the door only open it halfway? Let this video serve as a reminder as to why, if the door is open, we gotta push that bad boy all the way up. More air for everyone, and in the event that you find your reserve deploying in the plane, you won’t get stuck in the half-open door — or even worse, ripped through it. This one’s a doozy.

A VIOLENT SKY

Shannon Seyb — Thu, 16 May 2013 11:50:45 +0000

Stunning and surreal. Hands up if you’d like to have a skydiving holiday at Skydive Sebastian. Hells yeah! It seems the time to go is springtime to join in on the March Madness. Sunshine, tracking, zooming and sunsets. Winning combo.

Skydiving Student Hits Plane… JUST LET GO!

Andrew — Tue, 14 May 2013 11:50:59 +0000

This skydiving student is fine, just a minor bruise to his ego. In the wise words of Tyler Durden from Fight Club… “JUST LET GO!”

Beer Wingsuit Rodeo: Drink Up, Cowboy!

Shannon Seyb — Tue, 14 May 2013 11:50:23 +0000

Well bend me elbow and call me a wingsuiter if that bronc buster ain’t on the bug juice! Word. That’s right –- our cowboy is drinking a beer mid-rodeo. The skillful acting and salute to the sun posse really tops this video off.

Friday Freakout: KABOOM! Parachute Rips In Half.

Melanie Curtis — Fri, 10 May 2013 11:49:48 +0000

Freefly transition + premature deployment = shredded main canopy. Now he has two parachutes for the price of one. Even I’m still seeing stars from the opening, and I only watched the video ;) All is well that ends well. Thanks to Joe Ridler for sharing his footage.

Friday Freakout: The Craziest Ground Rush You Will EVER See!!!

Andrew — Fri, 10 May 2013 11:49:30 +0000

Talk about GROUND RUSH! I can’t believe someone can hit the ground this hard and survive. My friend Liam Dunne of Deepseed is one lucky man. There are several factors that lead to this outcome, but the end result was a CYPRES save, intense ground rush, an 8 inch footprint in the ground, and surgery with 2 titanium rods and 4 screws holding his spine together. After almost a year of rehab, Liam will miraculously be jumping later this year. To read all the details about this incident, check out the Deepseed “Know Your Shit” blog post.

Aussie XRW: Slow Wingsuits, Fast Parachutes

Andrew — Thu, 09 May 2013 11:50:34 +0000

For the past year, a few Australian wingsuiters have been trying to fly like they had small canopies open. Meanwhile, canopy pilot Griggsy had been trying to fly his small speed machine from Icarus Canopies (by NZ Aerosports) like it was a wingsuit. Good times were inevitable and this is the end result. More XRW for your viewing pleasure.

By No Means: Angles, Smoke and Spaceballs

Melanie Curtis — Tue, 07 May 2013 11:50:45 +0000

Angle over-unders, smoke on da feet, splashing grass, and swooping a paraglider. Oh yeah, and the spaceball with no tail. Just the mix of stuff to make up this shorty edit. Looks fun, but you be the judge.

Dynamic Workshop @ Skydive Arizona. Move Your Body!

Shannon Seyb — Mon, 06 May 2013 11:50:14 +0000

Jump, Jump, Jump, Jump! To the left, let’s move. Do the running man and then you turn around like this. Just keep up with the pace. Jump, Jump, Jump, Jump! Move your body, everybody, won’t you move your body! This is Petter Jönsson’s Dynamic Worskshop at Skydive Arizona. Badass. I know I wanna be moving by body around the sky like this – how ‘bout you?

Friday Freakout: Double Tandem Collision Near Miss

Andrew — Fri, 03 May 2013 11:50:50 +0000

Here’s something you don’t see every day (wait for it): a tandem collision near miss with one tandem in freefall and the other under canopy. Another few seconds before deploying and this might have been a tandem sandwich — or at least a very close flyby.

More Fly-Fly In The Sky-Sky

Shannon Seyb — Thu, 02 May 2013 11:50:22 +0000

Watching this video of FlajFlaj (pronounced Fly-Fly) at Skydive Elsinore literally put my life in perspective. Oh yeah… this is why I don’t have a life, why I work all week to play on weekends, why I count up my food and rent bill in jump tickets — a new currency. This is why I skydive, to find myself in places this awesome, doing jumps this badass, with some of the coolest people in the world. Gets me thinking that I should look at flight prices to the US of A for next March. See you there next year Peter, I promise!

“Shredding It”: The Super Atomic Skydiving Wedgie

Shannon Seyb — Wed, 01 May 2013 11:50:28 +0000

When you hear of skydivers “shredding it,” you most likely think of badass skydivers, NOT a super atomic skydiving wedgie. This is the furthest thing from a sexy plug for Calvin Klein underwear, but I must confess I LOL’d when he grabbed his underwear back and sniffed them. An all new low. Pun intended.

FRIENDS (Vol. 1): Living the Dream

Shannon Seyb — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 11:50:46 +0000

Can you say “Living the Dream?” I believe that phrase might have just been coined to describe Maktoum. And the pancaked open accordian line thingy-ma-bob that seems to be rotating in both directions? I mean, seriously, is that even a move?! Wow. Just wow. I’m a believer in this dream for sure! Nobody pinch me.

According to Team HEAT, tough guys don’t jump pink. Period. Here’s how Deane Smith of Team Heat feels about pink canopies. WARNING: A pink canopy was severely harmed in the making of this film.

Friday Freakout: Insanely Low Cutaway, 3 Seconds From Impact!!!

Andrew — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 11:45:25 +0000

In Soviet Russia, underwear soils you! From what I understand from this incident, her cutaway handle wouldn’t chop so she had to run her fingers up the cable housing to manually pull the cutaway cables. Without an AAD, she manages to deploy the reserve only a few seconds before impacting terra firma, and then lands in trees in a snowy forest. WOW! Moral of the story… DON’T DO THIS!
