By No Means: Angles, Smoke and Spaceballs

Melanie Curtis — Tue, 07 May 2013 11:50:45 +0000

Angle over-unders, smoke on da feet, splashing grass, and swooping a paraglider. Oh yeah, and the spaceball with no tail. Just the mix of stuff to make up this shorty edit. Looks fun, but you be the judge.

FlajFlaj: The Epicenter of Awesome

Sydney Williams — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 11:50:15 +0000

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 in 2013. Here is the edit of week two by the lovely Lika Borzova. Dates for 2014 are already set, check it out here.

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.

Living In Antigravity

Andrew — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 11:50:57 +0000

Antigravity BASE is a cool crew doing cool shit! They hit all the objects that make B.A.S.E what it is, and they even throw in a 129 foot jump inside a school stadium. Fuck yeah!

King Boogie Ass is Kicking Boogie Ass!

Shannon Seyb — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 11:50:29 +0000

A great video from the King Boogie Ass 2012 by Johannes Bergfors — the creator of Slow Is Fast. Fave moment for me? I can’t decide between the feet first tracking into the sun, the badass beer swoop, or the traffic light door signals. Lots of epicness. And LOVING the cameo from Petter Jonsson of Swedish Freefly Mafia at the end. LOL! Golden.

NEVER SLOWING DOWN – Too Much Fun

Andrew — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 13:14:07 +0000

Douggs’ main goal in life is to have more fun than anyone else, and I think he might be beating all of us so far. Here’s a year in the life of Chris “Douggs” Mcdougall, living the dream as he travels around the world to jump from as many objects and exotic locations as he can find. Never slow down Douggs!

Skydiving Outro: Slow Down, We’re Dreaming

Andrew — Thu, 24 Jan 2013 12:50:26 +0000

Have you ever had that feeling in freefall when everything slows down, almost as if time is standing still, like a dream? This video from Jakob Aungiers aims to replicate that experience, and it’s set perfectly to M83′s “Outro” from their album “Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming.” Speaking of which, check out our edit, Distortion In Time.

Why Does Dexter Skydive?

Andrew — Wed, 23 Jan 2013 12:50:32 +0000

If you asked Dexter Marcelino why he skydives (you remember Dexter from this INCREDIBLE pic, right?), this is the closest thing to an answer that he could give you. These are some of his best skydiving memories and shenanigans from the past year — inflatable raft jumps, roundhouse kicks to the face, and some pretty sick freeflying. Yeah, shenanigans!

The Endless Summer

Andrew — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 12:50:17 +0000

Most of us wish summer would never end, especially those of us who live through a proper winter with snowshoes, igloos and dogsleds. That is, unless you’re one of those people that swap your rig for a snowboard around this time of year… traitor! Well it looks like Mason Corby kept the party going in 2012 and turned his entire year into a summer vacation, bouncing from dropzone to dropzone, boogie to boogie.

Andrew — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 12:53:39 +0000

World-class skydiver TJ Landgren was born to fly. As a child, he would jump off the roof of his house to pretend he could fly. Now he travels the world jumping out of planes, off cliffs, and everything in between — not to mention a few world records along the way. Thanks to The Aviator for putting together TJ’s year-end video.

Shannon Seyb — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 12:51:07 +0000

This video brings a whole new meaning to having fun in the sky. I don’t know about you, but our DZ is shut down for the winter and I sure as hell wish I was there jumping with these guys right now. Some fun flying. Sun shining. Smiles all round. That’s sky love, biatches.

Andrew — Tue, 11 Dec 2012 12:51:00 +0000

Although not as intense as Skydive Dubai’s Mondial trailer, here’s a recap of Day 7 from the 2012 World Parachuting Championships at Skydive Dubai. This edit has it all… canopy piloting, artistic freefly, CRW, formation skydiving, VFS, and more. Oh, did I mention Nick Batsch broke his previous distance world record of 222 meters!

Andrew — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 12:46:40 +0000

You know all those things you’ve always wanted to do? You should go do them!

“Beginners” BASE Jumping Off Mt. Brento

Andrew — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 12:50:46 +0000

I’m pretty sure they’re kidding about the “beginner” part. These guys (and girl) know their stuff when it comes to BASE — well, at least the freefall part, but some of those landings looked rough. Check out this sick BASE jumping off Monte Brento in Italy.

Team F: Flying, Fun And Friends. ‘Nuff Said.

Melanie Curtis — Wed, 28 Nov 2012 12:56:24 +0000

It starts off with a dog driving a car. Just sayin’. Stupid skydiver tricks, can’t beat ‘em. This crew looks like they’re having a ton of fun learning together and messing around in the sky. What’s better than that? Sit, head down, belly, swooping over the hot chicks in the pool, and a near cutaway. And damn, that’s a big angle dive. Check it, yo. Comedy series at the end too. Sweet.

Label 2: Cutaways And High-Fives

Andrew — Mon, 12 Nov 2012 12:57:43 +0000

Picture this: Cutaway, head down flying, high-five (yes, in that order). Have you ever seen a cutaway followed by some 2-way head down flying? I didn’t think so; neither have I. That’s a first for me, so beers all around. Team Polte knows how to party in the sky. Check out “First Steps” for more Polte action.
