Roberta Mancino’s 2 Elements – Air and Water

Andrew — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 12:50:54 +0000

As a model, Roberta Mancino is known for her beauty behind the lens. As professional skydiver and BASE jumper, Roberta shows us the beauty of her two favorite elements: air and water. To quote her video, “We still have time to save the ocean and all the beauty that is within it. Just imagine how sad it would be to lose all of our sharks and the ocean ecosystem they support, or to lose our forests and the creatures within them. There is nothing more powerful than love… we protect what we love… the passion of just a few dedicated people can inspire all of us to protect nature and all of it’s beings but we must act now before it is too late.”

The Dream Team: Jeb Corliss & Roberta Mancino Do Malaysia

Andrew — Tue, 14 Aug 2012 11:50:40 +0000

The (old) dream team, Jeb Corliss and Roberta Mancino, roll up to the KL Tower in Malaysia on the back of a scooter and do what they do best — BASE jump off tall objects and make it look easy. Well, minus Jeb’s building strike at the end. Let’s pretend that never happened. Check out GoPros double feature on Jeb and Roberta.

Roberta Mancino’s HTC Commercial: Now THIS Is Advertising For Our Sport

Melanie Curtis — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 11:50:10 +0000

This 60-second spot from HTC took two full weeks and a massive team of production people and skydivers to make happen, including the beautiful Roberta Mancino as our star. Walking off the end of the fashion runway out the back of a C-130… THIS is a commercial skydivers will actually love. Badass and beautiful. Solid advertising right here, both for the new phone and our sport. Please help share this video, and let us know what you think of it in the comments.

The 5 Highest Points: Dolomites Wingsuit BASE Tour

Melanie Curtis — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 11:50:37 +0000

For anyone who aspires to BASE jump and fly their wingsuit close to spectacular peaks, this is a video to see. The Turbolenza team visits the 5 highest peaks in the Dolomites and BASE jumps off each one for some awe-inspiring footage of their proximity flights and short bits of interviews with the athletes. This scares the shit out of me, but no one can look at this and say it’s not beautiful. Damn.

Cloud Bunny: Roberta Mancino

Andrew — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 18:52:49 +0000

I’m sure you’ve heard the term ski bunny or Playboy bunny, but Roberta Mancino is neither. She’s a cloud bunny. Literally. She wore pink bunny ears on the 5-way sit train exit at the 2010 Puerto Escondido Boogie. Maybe “sky bunny” works better for this pic? What do you think?
