Synchronized Skydiving: Air + Water

Solaris Freestyle at World Skydiving Championships
Freestyle is 1,000 percent awesome. We know that seems a bit exaggerated, but the gentlemen of Solaris are quite talented. Gymnastics in the air while donning a top hat? Yup, that just happened.

Skydiving Stretches… In Freefall
I prefer warming up and stretching before gearing up for a jump, but apparently Angela Tara Hsu of STF Block Party XP (formerly STF 4Loko) likes to get her stretch on in freefall. Or maybe she’s just doing a freestyle routine; what do I know. View Photo »
