Friday Freakout: Skydiver Survives Double Parachute Malfunction!

Andrew — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:50:10 +0000

A double malfunction is a skydiver’s worst nightmare, no matter how experienced they are. With more than 7,000 jumps under his belt, Craig Stapleton’s nightmare came true after dumping his reserve into the mess above his head. But he miraculously lives to tell the tale after hitting the ground at 30 MPH. When everything goes wrong and your life flashes before you eyes… just pray to the Grape Gods.

Stadium Demos, Cool. Stadium BASE, Better.

So, if you’re into the whole PRO rating thing, you probably have “do a stadium demo” on your bucket list. But what about a stadium BASE jump? Check out Red Bull’s Cedric Dumont as he rocks the indoor BASE. Nice work, sir!

PD Factory Team. Aerobatic Plane. Dizzying Demo.

Melanie Curtis — Tue, 05 Jun 2012 11:50:40 +0000

You may get dizzy watching this, but it’s only because the PD Factory Team does a beautiful spiral with smoke — along with an aerobatic plane — as a demo jump for the Dubai International Parachuting Championships (DIPC). The Palm alone is incredible. Add this stuff, and it’s just stunning. And watch through to the end for the killer fly-by. Hells yeah!

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!

How To Rock a Stadium Demo… Red Bull Style

Sydney Williams — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 11:50:20 +0000

Red Bull Air Force rocks, that’s no secret. I don’t know about you, but most of the footage I see from stadium demos comes from the spectators. Here’s a birds eye view from the Red Bull boys themselves. And the roar from the crowd when they land into Chase field? Sweet mother of all things skydiving, that’s loud!

BASE Jumping Float at Swiss Parade

Andrew — Sat, 12 Mar 2011 13:43:55 +0000

This is too funny. Only in Switzerland would you find a BASE jumping float at a parade or carnival. The wingsuit flying ‘track’ at 0:49 is my fave part. I guess this was the next best idea to doing a real wingsuit fly-by over the crowd.
