SCRATCHING THE SKY
Babylon Freefly and Gazprom present this brilliant short about the dream of flying and what it feels like to lose touch with reality for those split seconds we share with our friends in the sky — when only the present matters. Sometimes, the biggest risk we can take is to truly live, and it’s moments... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: The "Screaming Horse Face" Tandem...
This holds a close second place to my favorite (and funniest) tandem skydive reaction of all time, but this footage is guaranteed to make you laugh and smile too! Her face goes from terror, to excitement, to hilarious horse lips, all in the span of 50 seconds. There’s only one way to watch this… Step... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Broken Nose In Freefall? Blood Ev...
We can all agree skydiving is a bloody good time, but this is a bit too much. Spin spin spin, spin stop, bloody mess. That about sums up this gem. I’m not sure if this instructor broke his nose, but with the amount of blood squirting from it, it sure looks like he did. If... Watch Video »
Flight Camp: Any Angle, Any Direction -- Skydive S...

Synchronized Skydiving: Air + Water
As an entry for the Zot Film Festival, this “synchronized skydiving” short film is such a unique concept. It compares and contrasts air and water — Sophie Bernier’s skydiving routine and Marie Tavenard’s synchronized swimming routine. Trés cool! Watch Video »
Palm Power: Fun Flying Over The Desert
I know, I know, another great video from Dubai. Sigh. But really, they’re doing all kinds of fun stuff over there. And now that my favorite pilot has up and moved to the desert and is now rubbing elbows with His Highness on the regular, I fully expect to see shots of Dean in Dubai... Watch Video »
The Most Ridiculous Skydiving Music Video. Ever!
I’m not sure what the hell I just watched, but this just might be the most ridiculous skydiving music video I’ve ever seen. Runner-up is the old school skydiving music video for “Baker Man.” And then there’s Planet Funk’s official music video, which is actually pretty rad. Which one of those 3 skydiving music videos...

Hey… hey, bro… you alright? Wwwhhaaat… yeah, I’m good. Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Low Wingsuit Cutaway, No AAD, Ope...
While wingsuits are all the rage these days, it’s often overlooked that — should a series of events go wrong — you’re now falling toward the earth in a straitjacket. No matter how you slice it, a low deployment followed by a malfunction (without an RSL or AAD), several revolutions on your back, a head-down... Watch Video »
Artistic Wingsuit Flocking
Now that’s some cool flocking flocking! And flocking of the wingsuit variety. It’s always a pleasure to watch Jarno Cordia’s footage, with his dynamic flying and carving around the formations. Check out this fun footage with various groups — both big and small — flying together after the 2012 Artistic Wingsuit Competition in Siofok, Hungary. Watch Video »
Pass The Pull-Up Cord @ Skywalkers Flight Camp
The Skywalkers hosted a freefly camp in Bucharest and this is a compilation of all that flocking… tons of it. Some upright, some head down, and some of a Fazza Sky tube. It’s fun. Check it out. Watch Video »
Extreme Skydiving: Ironing Clothes In Freefall
Extreme ironing (yes, ironing clothes!) in freefall by Mike Frost and Steve Scott is right up there with solving a Rubik’s cube in freefall, as well as chasing hamburgers out of an airplane, and let’s not forget the skydiving tattoo that set a world record. What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done in the sky? Watch Video »
Guinness World Record Hot Air Balloon Skydives
On February 10th, 2013, Skydive Dubai Desert Campus set two official Guinness World Records… 1) the most skydivers to jump from a hot air balloon simultaneously (25 skydivers), and 2) the most skydivers to jump from a hot air balloon during the same flight (40 skydivers). The third record was unofficial due to technical reasons:... Watch Video »
King Boogie Ass is Kicking Boogie Ass!
A great video from the King Boogie Ass 2012 by Johannes Bergfors — the creator of Slow Is Fast. Fave moment for me? I can’t decide between the feet first tracking into the sun, the badass beer swoop, or the traffic light door signals. Lots of epicness. And LOVING the cameo from Petter Jonsson of... Watch Video »
Insane City Stunt: Wingsuit Squeezes Between Offic...
This might be the sickest thing you’ve seen all day! Getting permits and permission to do urban stunts — like flying your wingsuit between two office buildings in Rio de Janeiro — is for chumps. Just hire an air trike to take you up to altitude at 5 A.M. and get it done. Jokke Sommer... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Snag Hazard, Horseshoe Malfunctio...
At a dropzone somewhere in Middle Earth, one skydiver did pitch his pilot chute through a loop of shock cord on his jacket. Holy horsehoe, Batman! With his reserve pilot chute entangled in the risers and the canopy turning, he makes a heroic effort to straighten it out before landing. We love happy endings to... Watch Video »
Sisters In Skydiving - Skydive Arizona 2013
The Working Girls (Lisa Mazzetta, Chazi Blacksher, Amy Benton) did it again, putting on a truly exceptional event for all skydiving sisters, despite the downpour all of Saturday! We took advantage of the downtime by learning and getting to know each other, and enjoyed the Bachelorette Party Sat night with fun panel discussions and my... Watch Video »
Solaris Freestyle at World Skydiving Championships
Freestyle is 1,000 percent awesome. We know that seems a bit exaggerated, but the gentlemen of Solaris are quite talented. Gymnastics in the air while donning a top hat? Yup, that just happened. I remember seeing videos of Merriah Eakins when I first started skydiving and I was blown away by what was possible in... Watch Video »
