Synchronized Skydiving: Air + Water

Andrew — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 11:50:13 +0000

As an entry for the Zot Film Festival, this “synchronized skydiving” short film is such a unique concept. It compares and contrasts air and water — Sophie Bernier’s skydiving routine and Marie Tavenard’s synchronized swimming routine. Trés cool!

Solaris Freestyle at World Skydiving Championships

Sydney Williams — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 11:50:44 +0000

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. I remember seeing videos of Merriah Eakins when I first started skydiving and I was blown away by what was possible in the art of human flight. Grab a beer (even if it’s morning, I won’t judge) and kick back with Solaris’ sweet performances at the 2012 World Parachuting Championships at Skydive Dubai.

Neo-Champion: Amazing NeoFreestyle Tunnel Flying

Melanie Curtis — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 12:50:06 +0000

Talk about control with some truly unique flying positions. WOW. Watch Mikhail Razomazov’s winning routine in the NeoFreestyle event during the 2012 World Indoor Skydiving Championships at iFly Singapore (watch all of the highlights here). Mikhail combines some of the bigger, faster moves with new, nearly static flying, showing an impressive level of control and creativity in the air. He ends his routine by playing the most real air guitar I’ve ever seen… hahaa, yeah!

Parabatix: The Ultimate Sky Race

Andrew — Wed, 10 Oct 2012 11:50:37 +0000

Parabatix is the ultimate sky race where the world’s best freestyle paramotor pilots fly through a ground-skimming aerial race course, swooping around pylons and under bridges while racing against the clock. Aside from skydiving, I’m always up for more aerial awesomeness. What about you… have you ever flown a paramotor before?

Now THAT’s Freestyle: Gigliola Borgnis

Melanie Curtis — Tue, 12 Jun 2012 11:50:42 +0000

Gigliola Borgnis makes freestyle look SO EASY. And stunning. I mean, damn, this is what beautiful lines look like. She flips through an arching rope she’s flying with, and the slow motion moments just give you the ability to savor what it all looks like. Very cool, very talented, very G. You can also check out Gigliola training for the World Atmonauti League.

Skydiving Speed Check: Slow It Down. Way Down.

Melanie Curtis — Mon, 07 May 2012 11:50:45 +0000

Whoa. We think of skydiving as fast and furious, but this video slows us all down and focuses on the pure beauty that is our sport — as seen through the lens of Team 4Loko (now known as STF Block Party). At the very least, check out Angela’s freestyle. Stunning.

Swooping Like A Champ At The Freestyle Festival

Andrew — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 11:50:30 +0000

Swooping at its best! Sorry to disappoint you if you were expecting a sarcastic title and nothing but PLFs. There’s nothing but pure talent in this old swoop freestyle festival footage. Alright, so you still want your fix of PLFs and swooping fails… this is just for you.

Skydiving Stretches… In Freefall

Andrew — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 17:50:08 +0000

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.

Just another day at the office for Roberta Mancino. Not only is Mancino a world record-holding skydiver but also a BASE jumper, international Italian model and she was named the World’s Sexiest Female Athlete in 2010 by Men’s Fitness magazine. ‘Nuff said.
