Friday Freakout: Crazy Close Call, Misses Parachut...
When you’re trying to get separation before you pull, don’t do this! Short of hitting the other parachute in freefall (like this guy), it doesn’t get much closer than this. Thanks to Morgan Mackay at Vertical Films for sending us the video of his crazy close call — I’m glad this ended well for you... Watch Video »
Sky Ninjas: Team Hayabusa at Mondial 2012

Would You Go To Jetman School? Hell YES!
I’m sorry, say what?! You mean we can actually learn to fly like Jetman? Hell YES! It looks like Jetman Yves Rossy is working on an unpowered version of his carbon wing and opening a school to teach people how to fly it. Jetman has earned worldwide recognition for developing and flying a jet-powered wing... Watch Video »

Airplane vs. Parachutist
Here’s another kind of formation flying… this time with badass Red Bull Air Force aerobatic pilot, Martin Sonka, flying side-by-side with skydiver/parachutist, Petr Mestak. Martin holds the airplane in ever so slightly angled flight — much like a helicopter — right next to Mestak underneath his cross-braced parachute. Very impressive. Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Best Parody Of The Worst "Malfunc...
“Somebody call 411. This guy needs to get a clue.” Lol. Since Gerardo Flores has been ostracized by the skydiving community for the dumbest malfunction ever, Jhonathan Florez has created this hilarious parody of a ‘choo lace malfunction. Damn strings! I highly recommend watching the original “malfunction” video first before watching this.\ Watch Video »

The Harlem Shake (Skydive Edition)
The title says it all. Everyone and their mother is making Harlem Shake videos lately, but the Harlem Shake can no longer be topped thanks to this video from Red Bull.

Whoa, whoa whoa. So full of surprises, my heart is still beating fast! A beautiful moment in a hot air balloon above the clouds, double McConkeys (a.k.a. rollovers) into canopy flight, and then… well, you’ll have to watch and see. Magic! Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: THE DUMBEST "MALFUNCTION". EVER. ...
This is by far the DUMBEST “malfunction” in skydiving history! Period. We all know how much damage a Category 5 hurricane can cause. Well Gerardo Flores is a Category 5 idiot! Watching this video actually makes me quite angry, but here’s the breakdown: 30 jumps (in 2 years??!!), wearing a GoPro with only 30 jumps... Watch Video »
