TUNNELVISION: 21-Hour Tunnel Marathon

Melanie Curtis — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 11:50:55 +0000

I feel like I’m at a tunnel carnival watching this… in my best carnival announcer voice, “Step right up! We got 4-way VFS, we got 4-way dynamic, we got 2-ways, we got carving…” Jump in the door and go! This marathon session from Bodyflyers consists of 25 friends flying a total of 21 hours over 3 days! My body is sore just thinking about it. ~Mel

Sunny Summer Skyjumping in New Zealand

Andrew — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 11:50:23 +0000

Tracking, tracking and more tracking in the sunny summer skies at Skydive Auckland in New Zealnd, with a little mix of vertical flying, tube jumps, and 4-way FS. The best thing is, most of the jumpers in this video have less than 650 jumps. Winning.

A tribute to Belgium 4-way FS Team Hayabusa, featuring their jaw-dropping talent at the 2012 World Championships in Dubai (watch the highlights here). Nobody can say belly flying looks boring after watching this video. Bow-chica-wow-WOW! It’s fast, fun and friggin’ awesome. Respect.

4 Skydivers, 2 Angles, 1 Hybrid + A Kick To the Head

Andrew — Mon, 13 Aug 2012 11:50:02 +0000

Have you ever seen two video angles from one GoPro on the same jump? Well now you have. And it’s a pretty cool idea. Mike Fenton and friends complete a fun 4-way Hybrid over Skydive Burnaby. Nothing says “I’ve docked on your back” like a gentle kick to the head (around the 0:25 mark).

No Man Left Behind: Redefining Teamwork

Sydney Williams — Thu, 12 Jul 2012 11:50:36 +0000

Have you ever gone low on a formation? Look at me in the (virtual) eye and tell me you haven’t. This is the tale of Round 4 at Skydive Elsinore’s Poker Run Competition. John Hamilton saves the low man with flying skills reminiscent of Clark Kent. His team goes on to win the gold medal by one point. No Man Left Behind.

Kick-Ass VFS From Arizona Drive

Melanie Curtis — Wed, 09 May 2012 11:50:42 +0000

Arizona Drive, a 4-way VFS (vertical formation skydiving) team is one of the coolest teams around. And I don’t mean too cool. I mean, awesome people who train hard and do the work so they can kick ass. And they do kick ass. Check out this compilation of their training jumps and tunnel. Awesomeness fo SHO. A must watch for any competitor, aspiring 4-way flyer, or skydiver in general. Word.

All Belgians all the time. That’s what this video is about. And more specifically, Belgians at Skydive Dubai. All joking aside, this video is a kickass compilation of a truly kickass team: Hayabusa. Most footage of them doing what they do best, 4-way formation skydiving, sliced up with some cool angles and other little bits of their Dubai competition adventure. Check it out.

Golden Knights: Army Girls Git ‘Er Done

Andrew — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 12:50:06 +0000

Go Army is right! The U.S. Army’s Golden Knights Female 4-way (GKF4) competition team is relatively new, but they’ve been training hard. GKF4 won gold at the CISM competition back in July 2011, and took 4th place at the World Cup competition in Saarlouis, Germany. Congrats to this up-and-coming female 4-way formation skydiving (FS) team. Wow, that’s a tongue twister; try saying “female 4-way formation skydiving” really fast while on auto-tune.

The Price of Perfection

Andrew — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:00:30 +0000

So you want to be a SkyGod, huh? For only 4 easy payments of $250,000, you too can learn to freefly perfectly just like Havard (Skywalkers), Raph and Ju (Team4Speed), and Alberto (Volare Freefly). Call now to order, because we can’t do this all day. You’re gonna love my nuts. Disclaimer: Even after your 4 low-cost payments, there’s still no guarantee you’ll fly as good as these guys.

The Mystery Cutaway. Whodunit?

Andrew — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 17:50:34 +0000

Remember to protect and check your handles, folks! Phil of The Bombdigity, a 4-way formation skydiving team, had his cutaway handle mysteriously dislodged and fly off into the blue. Whodunit?! Way to stay cool, calm and collected Phil… unlike this other unintentional cutaway mishap, which happens to be my fave Friday Freakout of all time.

Team Hayabusa, one of the best 4-way formation skydiving teams in the world, practicing at Skydive Empuriabrava in Spain. Hayabusa was stronger and faster than ever in 2011; I’m looking forward to following their progress and accomplishments in 2012. Another stunning shot by Danny Jacobs.

Premature Parachute Opening on Exit

Andrew — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 12:35:47 +0000

This is an older clip from Fonsz Kriegsman at Skydive Teuge in the Netherlands. His buddy on the 4-way team has a premature opening on exit. Now I know some of you might be thinking — why didn’t he cut-away to get back into formation? Or was that just a really high hop and pop? Lol. Be safe and remember to protect your handles when climbing out.
