Radikale Head Down Big-Way. Booyah!
Great video of the Radikale head down big-way in Germany (September 2012). Building, flying, and breaking off. Lots of different angles, both inside and outside the formation. Badass feets up right here. Also, check out the 138-way vertical world record here. What’s the largest big-way jump you’ve ever done? Watch Video »
The Santa Skydive
It’s that time of year again… Christmas is right around the corner and Santa is working on his freefall skills before the big day. The only problem is there are 14 Santas on this jump and all but one are impostors. Which one do you think is the REAL Santa Claus? Watch Video »
For The Record: 49-way... BASE Jump!
Nearly fifty people perched on the edge of a cliff in a mixture of wingsuits and tracking suits. Not a scene you see every day. Epic visuals on exit. Sick. Knowing you’re on a world record jump. Awesome. Nearly taking out a child on landing. Oops! Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Premature Opening On Big Way. Not...
This 30-way formation skydive became a 29-way after a premature deployment right after exiting the lead plane. He didn’t have a chance to wave off, so his friend waved off for him. Well, it was more like a wave goodbye, but it’s the thought that counts. Watch Video »

Big Way Battle: 53-Way Sequentials
The intro music makes it sound like an epic battle for a 50+ way. So intense. But really, awesome camera angles and flying on this big way record in Paraguay — it’s cool to see the view between a flyer’s feet, watching someone come in to dock. Congrats to everyone! Watch Video »

Badass Big Way: How The F*ck Did They Key This?
Okay, so you can see the first key at 1:55. But seriously, regardless of what orientation you fly, this is some impressive flying — a 4-point 106-way formation skdive! Earlier in the event, they also completed a 100-way from 13,500 feet. No additional altitude necessary. Badass belly flying at it’s finest, circa 2001. Watch Video »

From The Archives: Skydiving In 1978
From the archives, here’s a throwback to the classic 1970s film “Sky Dive!” by Carl Boenish — a leading skydive photographer of the era. This historical flick was shot on original 16 mm film.

Old School Skydiving: Don't Try This At Home
This is an old school shot before my time, so I’m not really sure what’s going on here. But it seems like a great way to squeeze in a few more skydivers on a full load. Anyone know more details about this shot? Photo via Jeremy Renkil. View Photo »

Get Away From Me!
When there are 200 skydivers on a big way record jump, the only thought running through my mind at break-off until landing is, “get away from me!” If you’re looking for video, check out Craig O’Brien’s footage from this 200-way California state formation skydiving record attempt at Skydive Perris.

Congrats to everyone on the jump! Craig, that’s some badass backslididing at break-off. Watch Video »
Big Way Traffic: 200-Way Exit
A little traffic is expected on big ways, especially when 200 skydivers exiting 9 aircraft attempt to set a new California state formation skydiving record at Skydive Perris. Landing must have been interesting; kind of like this big way landing traffic, only twice as many skydivers/canopies. This is just a teaser for tomorrow’s video, so... View Photo »
