From Europe With Love: Bridges, Clouds and Cliffs

Andrew — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 11:50:34 +0000

From Europe with love, these BASE jumpers punch through some pretty cool clouds off a bridge in France, followed by some big wall exits in Switzerland. This reminds me of the “Badass BASE Jump… Through Clouds” video we worked on with Patto and WIDSIX.

Le Teaser. Le Blond. Le Crazy.

Vincent “Le Blond” Descols is no stranger to flying his wingsuit down technical (read: crazy) lines in the French Alps. Proxy flying has become the norm for Le Blond, but this teaser from the 2012 season also highlights his speed riding skills as he races over glaciers and snow-covered valleys.

Kristal Sequentials II: Skydiving + Skysurfing

Andrew — Tue, 16 Oct 2012 11:50:24 +0000

As skydivers, there are two certainties in life: 1) gravity, and 2) the Kristal Sequentials being a kickass event. Team Kristal organized their second sequentials event for the 2012 season at Skydive Pamiers in France. Not only was there impressive sequentials and tracing flocks, but some skysurfing action too! I haven’t seen much skysurfing since… well, since it was invented. But it looks like tons-o-fun.

Kick-Ass Kristal Sequentials. A Must-Watch!

Andrew — Mon, 16 Jul 2012 11:50:09 +0000

With kick-ass sequentials and video panning skills reminiscent of The Matrix, this is a must-watch! French skydiving team Kristal hosted their first event for the 2012 season — the Kristal Sequentials — in Pamiers, France. They tried to make the most out of one day of jumping, and with the help of Mister Tranquille’s editing skills, this is the end result. I can’t wait to see more from Kristal in the future.

Skydiving Fun And Bubble Gum

Andrew — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 11:50:00 +0000

Here’s the year-end video from the 2011 skydiving season at Pau Parachutisme Passion in France. By no means is my french up to par, but I’m pretty sure the name of their DZ translates to “I love skydiving.” And if you’re wondering if that girl at 8:31 was chewing/playing with her bubble gum while riding a wingsuit rodeo, you’d be absolutely correct.
