TUNNELVISION: 21-Hour Tunnel Marathon

Melanie Curtis — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 11:50:55 +0000

I feel like I’m at a tunnel carnival watching this… in my best carnival announcer voice, “Step right up! We got 4-way VFS, we got 4-way dynamic, we got 2-ways, we got carving…” Jump in the door and go! This marathon session from Bodyflyers consists of 25 friends flying a total of 21 hours over 3 days! My body is sore just thinking about it. ~Mel

Andrew — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 11:50:53 +0000

More madness and magic from Team Maktoum, fresh out of iFly Singapore. This video has inspired me to spend another 1,000 hours in the tunnel this week so I can pick up my game.

Undercover Ninjas – Next Level Tunnel Sequentials!

Sydney Williams — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 11:50:46 +0000

The next level of sequential flying starts here! What you’re about to watch is TOP SECRET CONFIDENTIAL footage from Paraclete XP. To the naked eye, it appears to be a tunnel video from some of the best flyers around. But, what you don’t know is that this is actually undercover ninja training. True story. Check out this sick edit from MX Bill Halsey and Shane Tully, and remember, you didn’t actually witness the badassery before you.

Incredible Inspiration: Corp. Todd Love Finds His Wings

Andrew — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 11:50:07 +0000

Skydiving and the wind tunnel seem easily accessible for most of us… who have both arms and legs. Corporal Todd Love returned from the war in Afghanistan with only one arm — he has no legs and his left arm was amputated below the elbow. BUT, incredibly, Todd has found his wings and can enjoy the freedom of flying just like the rest of us thanks to his coaches Niklas Daniel and Brianne Thompson of Axis Flight School. Words can’t describe how inspiring this is! To learn more about Todd’s story, watch this video.

Double Dynamic Duo: 4 Days, 4-Way, 4Speed

Melanie Curtis — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 11:50:41 +0000

The new concept of Dynamic Freefly is all the rage nowadays — flying that’s fluid and always moving through quadrants of the tunnel. Check out world champion VFS flyers, Team4Speed, as they rock some 4-way dynamic freefly at Paraclete XP. It’s like there are two dynamic routines going on simultaneously… separate, but entirely together. COOL.

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!

GoPro In Less Than 60 Seconds, From Janitor To Tunnel God

Sydney Williams — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 12:50:26 +0000

Watch as the janitors at Skydive Arena turn into total tunnel rockstars in less 60 seconds, complete with hot groupies and bubbly. We love groupies and good tunnel videos around here, and we’re especially lovin’ the flyer POV in the tunnel. Wouldn’t that suck to snag your GoPro on the net?!

Voss Ventus: Vonderful Vindtunnel Video

Andrew — Wed, 23 Jan 2013 12:50:36 +0000

Voss Ventus competed and won “The Battle of Bottrop 2012,” which was the first tunnel competition of its kind to focus on the new concept of Dynamic Freefly 4-way. A few days prior to the competition, the team got together at Voss Vind — the vvvind tunnel in Voss, Norway — to work on their routine. Andreas Johannessen was asked to document their sessions, and here is the end result. Congrats on the win and the inspiring video!

The Palm 3: Mini Maktoum

Andrew — Mon, 07 Jan 2013 12:50:07 +0000

This is the last of The Palm trilogy (watch part one and part deux), featuring Mini Maktoum — the next generation of flyers who are going to change the game. These kids are 6, 7, 8 years old and already shredding it. Around the 8-minute mark. The rest of the video is awesome too, but that was my highlight. ~ Taya Weiss

Highlights from the World Indoor Skydiving Championships 2012 at iFly Singapore, including kids kicking ass in the tunnel, an amputee that can fly better than most of us, a bigway limbo dance, and much more. Fun times!

Andrew — Tue, 25 Dec 2012 13:00:36 +0000

This is HILARIOUS! Wait for it… wait for it… and here comes Santa down the chimney, err, tunnel. Even Darth Vader makes an appearance (no, really). Crazy Ruskies! Lol. Merry Christmas everyone.

Kids Kicking Ass At World Indoor Skydiving Championships

Andrew — Wed, 19 Dec 2012 12:50:46 +0000

What the… whaaat??! I don’t know about you, but when I was 10 years old I was still shitting my pants, watching Scooby Doo, and rockin’ a Kool-Aid mustache. Meanwhile, Kyra Poh and Choo Yixuan of Team Firefly, aged 10 and 11 respectively, kicked some ass at the World Indoor Skydiving Championships where they competed head to head with some of the best skydivers.

Break Out — Brilliant Short On Body Flight

Andrew — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 12:46:43 +0000

If there’s anything to learn from this awesome tunnel video, it’s this: DO NOT miss a huck jam at Paraclete XP SkyVenture! It’ll wipe that smile right off your face. Selwyn is usually a chipper fellow, but he’s not too happy when he misses an opportunity to fly with his friends at XP. Thanks to Keith Creedy, Zach Mullins and Jimmy Cooper for this brilliant short film on body flight.

Water Floats In Wind Tunnel Wedding

Andrew — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 13:10:36 +0000

Did you know that water hangs in the air at 21% power in the tunnel at SkyVenture Colorado? True story. Our very own Sydney Owen got married in the tunnel (of course!), and instead of pouring sand into one jar or some other traditional symbol of their love, Sydney and Barry poured two bottles of water together into the wind. Awwwwwe. Congrats guys! Full wedding video coming soon!

The Flying Monkeys: Walking On Air, Bitches!

Shannon Seyb — Wed, 07 Nov 2012 12:43:23 +0000

Monkeys can fly? Really? I call fake. Oh, wait I get it… it’s another badass tunnel video coming out of Voss. This is Rune and Kenny rippin’ it up in their “office”. And most of the ape family is probably über jealous of their mad skillz. Swinging from trees was so yesterday — we’re walking on air now, bitches!

Bodyflight: Tunnel GANG BANG

Sydney Williams — Tue, 11 Sep 2012 11:50:38 +0000

Okay, so it’s not really a gang bang, but according to Mr. Fabian Raidel it was. Pretty sure we’ll never get tired of sick tunnel videos, especially ones with multiple angles, so keep ‘em coming. Can you surf your friends like these guys do at 0:15?

Tunnel Vision: Red Bull. Soul Flyers. Awesome Acrobatics.

Andrew — Tue, 21 Aug 2012 11:50:33 +0000

Now this is what I call “tunnel vision”… combining Red Bull, Fred Fugen and Vince Reffet (Soul Flyers), Håvard Flaat (Skywalkers) and Julien Guiho (Team4Speed) in a tunnel training session at Skydive Arena in Prague. Tunnel videos usually result in grainy footage and boring angles. But Red Bull can make anything look good! Oh, and I guess the flyers aren’t too shabby either :p

The Antigravity Machine

Sydney Williams — Wed, 04 Jul 2012 11:50:50 +0000

So here’s the deal: it’s starting to feel like EVERYONE can do this in the tunnel. Well, not quite everyone. But I mean, these guys — Antigravity XP, a vertical formation skydiving (VFS) team — make this look so easy. Every tunnel video I’ve posted lately is just super sick ninja shit and it makes me excited to go drop my hard earned dollars in the tunnel. Well done, Antigravity XP, well done.
