Sunny Summer Skyjumping in New Zealand

Tracking, tracking and more tracking in the sunny summer skies at Skydive Auckland in New Zealnd, with a little mix of vertical flying, tube jumps, and 4-way FS. The best thing is, most of the jumpers in this video have less than 650 jumps. Winning.

Friday Freakout: Skydiver Survives Double Malfunction Crash

Andrew — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 12:31:02 +0000

Mike Holmes survived a nasty double malfunction at Taupo Tandem Skydiving in New Zealand, making a nauseating thud as he hit the ground at 70+ MPH. His intense footage aired on the Today Show shortly after his accident in December 2006. I’m not sure that luckily landing in a plump patch of blackberry bushes helped Mike survive this high speed crash (maybe it did?), but I bet he eats blackberries every day for breakfast; wouldn’t you?

An awesome clip of Laszlo Csizmadia from Icarus Canopies (by NZ Aerosports) swooping his JVX 77 through the famous “Hole in the Rock” in Bay of Islands, New Zealand. Between Laszlo swooping The Hole in the Rock and Nick swooping onto a moving truck, the JVX is one kickass high performance canopy! What’s the coolest or craziest swoop you’ve ever done?

A season full of smiles from tandem paragliding instructor Cade Palmer at Coronet Peak in Queenstown, New Zealand. It’s fun watching other people smile, for a change.

Andrew Archer, Shannon Seyb and friends were jumping through hoops – literally – at the Southern Summer Jam Boogie in Canterbury, New Zealand. Looks like tons-o-fun! Have you ever jumped with props, toys or gimmicks?
