Flying Donkey Shocks Beachgoers. WTF?!!
Local entrepreneurs in Russia thought it would be a brilliant idea to send a parachuting donkey into the sky as an advertising stunt to promote their parasailing business. Bad idea. Really, really bad idea. Unfortunately there’s no cure for stupid. Watch Video »
Parachute + Snowmobile = Parasledding
Mind. Blown. No, this has nothing to do with skydiving or BASE jumping, but it’s way too cool not to share. And I’m pretty sure this has never been done before. Introducing parasledding, where paragliding and snowmobiling are combined for one hell of a badass ride down a mountain! Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Grown Man Cries In The Sky

Friday Freakout: Line Twists, With A Pinch Of Grou...
Thermals are a paraglider’s wet dream. That is until your paraglider goes boom!

Fly Up, BASE Down.
These guys are geniuses (genii?) and deserve a Nobel Prize, or to be knighted, or at least a few free pull-up cords.

Cool Wingsuit Stunt Off Paraglider From 1,800ft
Erwan Chevalerias hitches a ride on a paraglider before flying his wingsuit from 1,800ft. It’s pretty cool, but double the altitude compared to this other crazy skydiver who jumps off a paraglider from only 900ft! Watch Video »
Contrast: Visual Inspiration
As someone who doesn’t paraglide (yet), it’s easy to see from Team Freestyle’s video how paragliding is right up our skydiving alley. Meaning, it’s yet another amazing way for us to experience stunning places with our best friends. It sounds cheesy, but a video like this makes me think everything awesome in life is possible....

Voss Show Reel... Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool.
HOLY… SHIT. Damn, I don’t even know where to begin. Freakin’ downright not-fucking-around amazing footage. I mean, a snowmobiler does a flip over a swooping parachute. And that’s after killer paraglider and swoop demo footage, on top of swooping the mountains, and jumping over snow-capped everything. This is a must watch! These Scandanavians do some...

Friday Freakout: Ground Launch Fail
Here’s a lesson in ground launching. Step 1: Don’t do this! Step 2: See step 1. Clearly not the best way to start off a day of speedflying, but despite the minor crash he still managed to brush himself off and squeeze out a few good flights for the rest of the session. Of all... Watch Video »

Friday Freakout: Truck Hits Paraglider
Some days are better than others. Unfortunately for this paraglider, this just wasn’t his day. And I’m sure the next morning wasn’t any better. Maybe he was trying to copy Nick Batsch’s truck landing, but the timing was a little off? At least he learned a lesson: use the crosswalk next time. Watch Video »
