Friday Freakout: Skydiver vs. Parachute, Deadly Co...
Videos like this don’t usually exist. The reason? Most people would be dead after hitting a canopy in freefall. The upper guy struck the lower guy with both hands on his way by in freefall. I’ve posted some collision close calls in the past, but this is as close as it gets and still living... Watch Video »
Thursday Throwback: Real BASE Jump History
Here’s a blast from the past for a random Thursday Throwback. I can’t understand a word they’re saying, but the footage speaks for itself. Jumping off a cliff with a round parachute back in the day. Talk about adventure-seekers. Here’s to these guys who paved the way for all the cool shit we get to... Watch Video »
Jackass: Skydiver Jumps Without Parachute. WTF?!
Scott Plamer and Mick are two of my wonderful friends, and I remember when this was happening. I definitely thought Plamer was a INSANE for doing it, but that’s only because I love him and didn’t want to see him go in. I mean, holy shit, jumping WITHOUT a parachute??? Seriously, what if it doesn’t... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Crazy Low Pull = Free Boat Ride
Need boat? Step 1: Jump off big cliff in Norway with wingsuit. Step 2: Forget to pull. Step 3: Realize water isn’t as forgiving as 18,000 cardboard boxes for landing. Step 4: Pull parachute below 100 feet (give or take). Step 5: Land in cold water and yell for boat. Done and done. Thank me... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: BASE Jumper Survives 400 ft. Impa...
This video seems out of a Chuck Jones cartoon of the Roadrunner and the Coyote, but it’s real. It happened in Konakova, Russia. A BASE jumper jumps off the top of a 400-foot (120 meter) electric tower, but his parachute fails. Miraculously, he survived the fall thanks to the powdered snow below. He broke his... Watch Video »

Friday Freakout: Low Pull Contest. Who Wins?!
“Let’s have a low pull contest. You go first and I’ll get it all on tape.” That was the first mistake. 4-way staggered exit off a cliff beside a waterfall. That was the second mistake. But the REAL problem here is that the first guy pulled too soon. Er, I mean, the last guy pulled... Watch Video »
Awesome Human Catapult!
Thirty-four seconds to watch this guy get hucked in the air by some big-ass rubber bands in what looks like a plastic cocoon. What goes up, must come down! Put it this way.. there’s no way I’d ever do this. Watch and let us know in the comments if you would. Watch Video »

Some of you might find this a bit disturbing to watch, but luckily this BASE jumper survives after hitting the water from a dirty low pull. If this was a low pull contest, I’m pretty sure he won. Don’t forget to pull, people. It’ll save your life. Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: 1930s Parachute "Test" Off Cliff
Apparently the role of a parachute test pilot in the 1930s was a lot more hardcore/crazy than it is today. It looks like cliff strikes and near certain death was part of the job description back then. “If it lets you down, it’ll be a great success. If not, you get a new parachute absolutely...

Reverse Bungee-BASE Jump: Don't Try This At Home
Drama, baby, drama! We can always count on Stunt Junkies for that. But seriously, what they do is actually frickin’ crazy! And looks ridiculously fun as hell. Too bad the probability of serious injury or death were juuuust a bit lower. They could sell tickets to this thing for $100 bucks a pop. It starts... Watch Video »

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 »
Skydiver's Barrel Roll Landing Close To Ground
What do you get when using your rears and harness close to the ground on a Velo 90? A barrel roll that scares the shit out of everyone watching. This must be more fun than the dizzying 1080 swoop I posted last week. Some might say Ryan has big balls for trying this, while others... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Skydiver Crashes Into Paraglider
This is crazysauce! A skydiver crashes into a paraglider while tracking over a beach in Oludeniz, Turkey. I’m not sure I agree with blaming the skydiver or the paraglider; I think the mistake here was sharing airspace in the first place, but some of you might feel differently. What do you think?

Incredible Slopeflying by Jokke Sommer in Norway
What do you do when you’re bored with wingsuit proximity flying? Call it “slopeflying” and keep pushing the limits. This is incredible footage of Jokke Sommer slopeflying in Stryn, Norway.

BASE Jump + Low Opening = Tree Swing
Have you ever wanted your very own tree swing? Just go BASE jumping with a wingsuit and pull low like this crazy Russian. So I got the “no good, no good” part, but can anyone translate what he says? Watch Video »
Insane Avalanche Ski-BASE Jump
This is one of the craziest videos I’ve ever seen! Thanks to Matthias Giraud and Stefan Laude for sharing this epic footage from their GoPro as they escape the deadly path of an avalanche in the French Alps… by ski-BASE jumping off a cliff! Words can’t describe what they must’ve been feeling in that moment,... Watch Video »
