Navy SEALs HALO Jump
Hooyah! This is a mashup from the movie “Navy Seals” (1990) with the song “Irreversible” by VHS or Beta during a HALO skydive from 30,000 feet. Even though the song has great build up, this scene has a bit of a cheese factor to it — minus the 4 minutes of freefall in movies like... Watch Video »
Flyfactory's Freeflying Fun
Flavio Santoro of the Flyfactory team — a Brazilian vertical formation skydiving (VFS) team — put together a collection of his freeflying fun earlier this year at Skydive Boituva and Londrina in Brazil, and Skydive Arizona in Eloy. Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Sit Fly Premature Deployment
Ansar Mohammed got a nice surprise — a premature deployment — while sit flying with Whit Bakers, Andre Stepsky and Joe “The German” at Skydive Sebastian in Florida. He’s lucky he wasn’t head down when this happened, like this scary head down opening. Yet another reminder to check your pilot chute and closing loop before... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Bow-Tie Line Over Malfunction
If you’re going to have a malfunction and cutaway, the least you could ask for is a perfectly shaped bow-tie line over. But forget about this handsome looking mal; there were some pretty interesting emergency procedures going on here — watch his hands closely (WTF??). But at the end of the day he landed safely...

Human Slingshot On First Mr. Bill Attempt
Andrew Revesz pulled off his first Mr. Bill exit to celebrate his 100th jump at Skydive Burnaby, which made for an awesome human slingshot once he “ejected” at 8,000 feet. According to my calculations, a “first” Mr. Bill + 100th jump = 2 cases of beer… and a dirty pie to the face! Fortunately this... Watch Video »
Real Human Flight: Atmonauti
The Atmonauti Top Patrol (ATP) doing what they do best — atmonauti — in super slow motion. If you’re interested in more slow-mo footage, check out Experience Human Flight In Super Slow-Mo and Seize The Day In Slow Motion. Thanks to Massimo Lomonaco for submitting this awesome edit. Do you consider “atmonauti” a type of... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Nasty Horseshoe Malfunction Aroun...
Nothing like a nasty horseshoe malfunction wrapping around your foot and ruining your clean pair of underwear at the same time, then cutting away while upside down and landing with the main still in the bag and wrapped around your foot. Now he’ll need a reserve re-pack and a new pair of underwear. Shitty deal... Watch Video »

Friday Freakout: Mid-Air Collision
This is how accidents happen. Wait for it… wait for it… KAPOW! (insert Batman fight scene caption here). Luckily no morons were hurt during the making of this video — not badly at at least. You have to admit, with miles of open air, he does have pretty good aim. All jokes aside, please be... Watch Video »
Canopy Formation 100-Way World Record
This was the 2007 canopy formation 100-way world record set at Florida Skydiving Center in Lake Wales, Florida. I would definitely prefer to be in one of the outer slots instead of the middle. What about you… which slot would you want on a big way canopy formation like this? Watch Video »
Hybrid Skydive to Celebrate 100th Jump
Manny Lopes pulled off a 3-way hybrid skydive with his buddies Dave, Jay and Mike at Skydive Burnaby to celebrate his 100th jump. Fun times Manny, and happy 100th! I sure hope there was plenty of beer at the DZ that night — and a pie that followed :) Watch Video »
Good Freeflying. Not-So-Good Landing.
Barliman has a good 2-way freefly skydive, but a not-so-good landing. The cover song for “Ice Ice Baby” makes up for it though, right? Or not. Watch Video »
Amazing LALO: Low Altitude, Low Opening
We’ve had this debate before… a jump made with a BASE rig and a low opening, but technically not a BASE jump by definition. So let’s just call this LALO: Low Altitude, Low Opening. Rodrigo “Cricket” Almeida jumps from 3,500 to 400 feet in his Vampire 3 wingsuit and landing on the beach at an... Watch Video »
60-Way Skydiving Record in Ukraine
This is the Ukranian 60-way big way formation skydiving record set in 2009 at DZ Borodianka. The exit was at 16,000 feet (4,800 meters) and the completed formation was only flying for a few seconds before break-off… but a success! Watch Video »
Seize The Day In Slow Motion
Another awesome edit in super slow motion. It’s kind of like The Matrix, except you don’t have to listen to Keanu Reeves’s monotone voice for 4.5 hours. If you missed the incredible slow motion video I posted back in May, you have to experience human flight in super slow-mo. What are y’all waiting for… seize... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: We've Got A Screamer
This girl is still game for her tandem jump, but she screams her ass off on the way to the door. This is a pretty tame “screamer” compared to the grown man crying before his tandem or the woman freaking out on her tandem exit. What do you think… at what point should a tandem... Watch Video »
Kirby Camp: Red Bull Air Force Training
Some awesome behind-the-scenes footage of the Red Bull Air Force Training Camp, dubbed “Kirby Camp,” in Arizona this past Spring (2011). Big thanks to Mike Shore Photo for sharing this video. And don’t forget to check out Andy Farrington’s photo and video of the insane Red Bull Air Force wingsuit fly-by at Kirby Camp. Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Shit, Meet Fan
All goes well until it’s time to dump (no pun intended), then shit hits the fan. Pilot chute entanglement. Shit. Reserve pilot chute entanglement. Shit. Reserve freebag entanglement. Shit! Did I mention shit hits the fan? As if his day couldn’t get any worse, watch ’til the very end for the final bit of “oh... Watch Video »
Hired Guns: The Freeflying Frenchmen
Who knew Frenchmen could fly? Kidding, kidding. The Hired Guns are a Montreal-based vertical formation skydiving (VFS) team who seem to know a thing or two about freeflying. This is Day 1 and 2 of their 2011 season opener at Parachute Montreal. Pas mal du tout, Hired Guns! Watch Video »
