FlajFlaj: The Epicenter of Awesome
FlajFlaj (pronounced Fly-Fly) is pretty much the epicenter of awesome freefly learning at Skydive Elsinore. The group, led by Peter Nilsson, invades Lake Elsinore, CA every year and dominates the skies, five days a week, for two weeks. They started with 13 people in 2007, and at last report, had 111 participants and 24 coaches... Watch Video »

Helicopter Jump To Party Boat Landing At 120 MPH
The GoPro Bomb Squad visits the great city of San Francisco to drop from a helicopter and land on a party boat. Sounds like a rad idea, right? Well it was, until Marshall Miller almost missed the boat — literally. Be a hero… lend a hand if your friend comes up short. Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Scary Horseshoe Malfunction + Ent...
If there’s ever a time you’d soil your pants from a scary parachute malfunction, I’d say this is it — when your closing pin pops on exit, you have a horseshoe malfunction, and then get entangled in said horseshoe. Holy shit! Luckily Matt Englehart landed safely after clearing through the lines and chopping that mess.... Watch Video »

Now add a 170 foot cliff and a kiddie pool filled with beer (or water), and voilà… you have the 2011 Water Landing with Mustaches Accuracy Contest at... Watch Video »
Project XXXRW: Parachutes, Planes and Wingsuits
Now this is what I call a hot threesome: parachutes, planes and wingsuits all flying together in formation! You’ve likely seen some pretty cool XRW formations before, and an aerobatic airplane do barrel rolls around a wingsuit, so naturally the next step was to mash them together. I know I had you at “threesome,” but... Watch Video »

Legendary BASE Jump In Front of Cop, Gets Arrested
I laugh my ass off every time I watch this classic footage from Steve Jester’s legendary BASE jump off the Bixby Bridge. Sure, he got charged with resisting arrest, DUI, and trespassing. So technically the law won. But we all know the real score was Jester: 1, Police: 0. Click the LIKE button to make... Watch Video »
Kickass Swoop Comp Finals at Skydive Elsinore
Great turnout for the ISM 2010-2011 Swoop Competition at Skydive Elsinore. I have swooped this pond MANY times myself, and so to see these guys hitting it with the downwind push… yeah, NOT easy to shut it down and stand up in those accuracy zones (and most don’t)! Distance, now that’s another story… love the... 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 »

Fun Wingsuit Jump From 18,000 ft. at Skydive Santa...
I’m jealous of Charles Odeyemi playing with his GoPro HD camera and new wingsuit from 18,000 feet. I love this camera angle, and the scenery at Skydive Santa Barbara in southern California isn’t too shabby either! What’s the furthest distance you’ve covered in a wingsuit? Watch Video »
