Friday Freakout: Close-Up CRW Wrap (POV)

Shannon Seyb — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:50:17 +0000

Some things just aren’t meant to go together — like two canopies, two skydivers, and a clusterfuck of lines. Crazy CRW dogs.

BASE 3-Way CRW Stack?? Yup, That Just Happened!

Andrew — Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:50:43 +0000

As if BASE jumping isn’t already an inherently dangerous sport… now let’s add some CRW (canopy relative work) for shits and giggles. Congrats to Max Bruffell, Jamie Flynn, and Maria Steinmayr for pulling this off. BASE and CRW go together like, um…. bah, I’ve got nothin’. This is new to me, and pretty crazy/awesome.

Friday Freakout: 3 Parachutes + 1 Skydiver = Nasty CRW Wrap

Shannon Seyb — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 11:55:02 +0000

Man, you can never have too much nylon! Too right! And not only does he survive being wrapped up in three canopies (including his reserve), but he steers that mess with his right hand and his left foot to land safely in a field. True story. What a BADASS!

Sydney Williams — Tue, 31 Jul 2012 13:14:43 +0000

If you’ve never participated in a CRW jump (Canopy Relative Work), at least you can experience it vicariously through the Canopy Formation World Team’s impressive canopy formations over China. Not to mention some cool old school planes from the 1940s. Check out some more crowd-pleasing CRW here. Do you do CRW?

Crazy CRW Dogs Land A Downplane

Andrew — Tue, 24 Jul 2012 11:50:55 +0000

If you’re looking for a little more excitement before landing, there’s always the option of locking your legs together with another CRW dog and hurling your body towards the earth in a downplane. Heck, why not take it a step further, like the SkyHawks, and just land the downplane. Or not. These guys are part of the highly skilled Canadian Forces Parachute Demonstration Team and make it look easy. You shouldn’t try this at home. It probably won’t end well, eh.

Epic Mr. Bill + Downplane Stunt. True Story.

Sydney Williams — Wed, 11 Jul 2012 12:02:18 +0000

So, yeah. Doing a Mr. Bill can be a good time. Ask any CRW dog about doing downplanes. But to combine the two? This is just awesome. Period. Have you ever done a Mr. Bill? How about a downplane? I mean really, what could possibly go wrong?

London Calling: Red Devils’ Demo

Sydney Williams — Thu, 14 Jun 2012 11:50:47 +0000

Check out the Red Devils as they do a demo over central London. Exit altitude? Just over 2,000 feet. No big deal. And there’s more where that came from.

Crowd-Pleasing CRW In China!

Melanie Curtis — Tue, 15 May 2012 12:00:08 +0000

Whether or not you’re interested in CRW (Canopy Relative Work), this footage from the China International Air Festival is most definitely worth checking out. Not only does it show them building a killer diamond formation, it shows the super cool showmanship of the formation, with giant streamers trailing. Oh, and it kicks off with fireworks… check it. P.S. Holy hot air balloons!

Follow The Flow: B.A.S.E. From All Angles

Sydney Williams — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 11:50:30 +0000

Ridiculous gainers, a bajillion shots of wingsuit proximity flying, some 2-way freefly BASE jumping, and a little BASE CRW action. This video has it all. With more than 2,500 BASE jumps under his belt, Turbolenza’s Maurizio di Palma is no joke… he’s the real deal, y’all. If you missed the Dolomites wingsuit BASE tour from the Turbolenza team, check it out.

LTD, Baby! Welcome To My Office.

Sydney Williams — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 12:00:23 +0000

If you’re like most skydivers, you probably dream of “living the dream” in true skydiver fashion: where the bright blue skies or wind tunnel are your office. Check out AXIS Flight School members Niklas Daniel and Brianne Thompson playing around in their “office” over Skydive Arizona. LTD, baby!

Friday Freakout: CRW. Clouds. Cutaway.

Shannon Seyb — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 11:50:20 +0000

Doing CRW (canopy relative work) in clouds probably wasn’t the wisest decision these two skydivers ever made. It’s a bit like doing a low hook turn blindfolded. In fact, thinking about it, that may even be safer.

Friday Freakout: Another Wild Parachute Wrap

Andrew — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 12:50:44 +0000

What starts out as a solid 4-stack CRW (canopy relative work) rotation by Team Hypoxia quickly turns into four good friends trying to kill each other in another wild parachute wrap. Surprisingly, this mess only resulted in one cutaway.
