Skydiver Swoops Into A VW Beetle
As part of a campaign for a free trip to Hawaii, here’s a quick swoop into a VW Beetle Cabriolet. This reminds me of the yacht swoop in Dubai by the one and only Jonathan Tagle. Get some! Watch Video »
Skydiving Cats. Lots Of Cats. In Formation.
So we’ve all seen Crasha — the skydiving dog. For all you cat lovers out there, this one’s for you. May I present to you… skydiving cats! Lots of cats. In the sky. With parachutes. DISCLAIMER: For those of you who think this is real, you are absolutely correct. Unfortunately, many cats were harmed in... Watch Video »
Saving For Skydiving: How A 90-Year-Old Went Skydi...
This video just made my whole day. I had tears in my eyes at the end of it. Still do now. What an incredible thing, life experience, and the story of Marian Barnett saving her pennies to go skydiving at age 90 — one of the countries oldest skydivers. And it’s re-enacted in such a... Watch Video »
Slim Jim Stratos: The World’s Shortest Freefall
Slim Jim’s not taking the Red Bull Stratos challenge lying down. Well, actually it sort of is, but the brand attempted to counter the Red Bull-sponsored Felix Baumgartner space jump from 128,000 feet with this stunt — the world’s shortest freefall — on Conan. Team Coco billed the event as “four inches of pure excitement.”... Watch Video »
Hilarious... Chasing Hamburgers Outta Airplanes
LMAO!! Our very own Melanie Curtis is the star in this hilarious commercial for Jack’s Burgers, where she literally chases hamburgers out of an airplane just to get her fix. Apparently these meat patties are to die for! This was Mel’s first-ever skydiving stunt and acting job, which I think calls for a round of... Watch Video »
New Skydiving Aircraft... A Toyota
Imagine a car suspended underneath a helicopter. Imagine 3 skydivers jumping out of it in dramatic fashion and equally dramatic outfits, hahaa. THEN, imagine those same skydivers frefalling with this car and a big parachute saving it from a wicked impact. If you’re looking for another cool commercial, check out the Chevy Sonic’s first test... Watch Video »
Mini Wingsuit. Slingshot. Monkeys CAN Fly!
Now I think I’ve seen just about everything. Who cares about pigs… monkeys CAN fly! Well, assuming our furry little friend has a mini wingsuit and a slingshot. Disclaimer: no humans were hurt in the making of this video. Watch Video »
Designing Parachutes Is Super Easy. Just Ask PD.
It’s no secret Performance Designs makes some of the best canopies on the market, but who knew it was this easy?! Lots of Red Bull, playing with scissors, and a little fire. Everyone and their brother should be making parachutes. Watch Video »
Skydiving Soccer... Only In Japan
This is right up there with playing basketball in freefall. Gotta love skydiving commercials! Walk down the hall and out the door for a soccer game in the sky. Pretty ridiculous, but they all are, and that’s why we love ‘em. I mean, what would we do without Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves flying through... Watch Video »
Crankworx Mountain Bike Skydive Stunt From 10,000f...
To celebrate their first year of sponsoring the Crankworx Whistler freeride mountain bike festival, Bud Light Canada attempts the most epic mountain bike drop from 10,000 feet with a bag packed full of goodies. Skydiving with a mountain bike is right up there with riding a bike off a 3,500ft cliff in Norway. Watch Video »
Wingsuit Lands... In A House?!
Well, not literally. But that was the concept behind this kickass commercial for Verizon’s FiOS. Working alongside director Rob Cohen (“The Fast and the Furious”, “Mummy”, “XXX”), these stunning wingsuit lines were shot by Matt Gerdes, Barry Holubeck, and Dave Barlia. Well done guys! For more pics and details about this project, check out Matt’s... Watch Video »

Wingsuit + Car + Canyon = Insane Attempt At Human...
What do you get when you use the new MINI Cooper Countryman to launch a wingsuit off a cliff into a canyon? An insane attempt at human flight! Or maybe just some clever special effects from the people at MINI/BMW. Either way, what’s the driver so excited about? All he did was drive a car. Watch Video »
Roberta Mancino's HTC Commercial: Now THIS Is Adve...
This 60-second spot from HTC took two full weeks and a massive team of production people and skydivers to make happen, including the beautiful Roberta Mancino as our star. Walking off the end of the fashion runway out the back of a C-130… THIS is a commercial skydivers will actually love. Badass and beautiful. Solid... Watch Video »
Naked Women Falling From The Sky. Literally. [NSFW...
If you’re uncomfortable with dozens of topless women, avert your virgin eyes. This is quite possibly the best commercial ever made, or the best formation skydive, or both. And only the Danish could get away with something like this. But I’m not sure how effective Fleggaard’s commercial is from a marketing perspective. Don’t get me... Watch Video »
Skydiving Car: First Test Drive In Freefall
The über talented Steve and Sara Curtis, Greg Gasson and Joe Jennings took the Chevy Sonic on its first skydiving adventure in the Arizona desert. And apparently Chevy’s new Wile E. Coyote option — a massive parachute — works as advertised. I call “shotgun” on the next jump! Watch Video »
Sweet Stunt: Swooping Under Snowmobile
Now THIS is how to sell mobile services. This Norwegian commercial for One Call has all the makings of an epic spy movie — helicopter, skydiving, swooping and a snowmobile busting a backflip — crammed in to a 60 second spot (this is the extended version). Thanks to Magnus at 4 1/2 Film for sharing... Watch Video »
Space Jam: Basketball in Freefall
Turkey’s National Parachute Team makes the Harlem Globetrotters look a little boring, don’t you think? More importantly, I need to fly with Turkish Airlines more often… apparently they let you jump out of planes if you bring your rig (and basketball gear) as carry-on. Watch Video »
Microsoft's 'Windows Phone' Skydiving Ad
Microsoft’s attempt at “a phone to save us from our phone.” That’s right… doesn’t this make you want to ditch your beloved iPhone, Android or Blackberry? I didn’t think so. I guess Microsoft has never heard of GoPro either. Anyone know which DZ this was filmed at? Watch Video »
Funny 'Skydiving Car' Commercial
A clever commercial with a clip from Joe Jennings’ “Good Stuff” DVD where four skydivers go for a ride in a convertible at 13,000 feet. It’s a good thing they let the top down. Watch Video »
