Neo-Champion: Amazing NeoFreestyle Tunnel Flying

Melanie Curtis — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 12:50:06 +0000

Talk about control with some truly unique flying positions. WOW. Watch Mikhail Razomazov’s winning routine in the NeoFreestyle event during the 2012 World Indoor Skydiving Championships at iFly Singapore (watch all of the highlights here). Mikhail combines some of the bigger, faster moves with new, nearly static flying, showing an impressive level of control and creativity in the air. He ends his routine by playing the most real air guitar I’ve ever seen… hahaa, yeah!

World Record 22-Mile Skydive Across English Channel

Andrew — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 12:41:07 +0000

Austrian-born Felix Baumgartner set a new world record on July 31, 2003 when he became the first person to cross the English Channel with a carbon wing. From 30,000 feet (9,144 meters), Felix soared 22 miles (35 km) across the entire stretch of water between England and France, hitting a top speed of 220 mph. Felix is also the pilot for the (recently delayed) Red Bull Stratos project; their mission is to set a new freefall record from the edge of space – 120,000 feet (36,576 meters)!

Taking this stunt a step further, Yves Rossy became the first person to cross the English Channel in a jet-powered wing.
