Incredible Inspiration: Corp. Todd Love Finds His ...
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...

Peace of Mind = Sunset + Cypres + Skydive Expo
I’ve never seen CYPRES tubes and the Skydive Expo look this beautiful. And the music makes me think of Zihuatanejo, like in Shawshank Redemption.

Friday Freakout: The Longest Malfunction In Skydiv...
This has to be one of the longest parachute malfunctions I’ve ever seen. In fact, I made a sandwich halfway through it.

Skydiving... With A Bowling Ball!
When Niklas Daniel isn’t setting his parachute on fire with gas and gun powder, he’s having fun in the sky (as if exploding canopies weren’t fun enough). Niklas got great footage of this off-site jump with a bowling ball at the 8th annual Mother Of All Boogies at Skydive Moab. Do you think it was... Watch Video »
