Friday Freakout: Broken Nose In Freefall? Blood Everywhere!

Sydney Williams — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 11:00:00 +0000

We can all agree skydiving is a bloody good time, but this is a bit too much. Spin spin spin, spin stop, bloody mess. That about sums up this gem. I’m not sure if this instructor broke his nose, but with the amount of blood squirting from it, it sure looks like he did. If you’ve ever had any full-contact freefall injuries, tell us about it in the comments.

Xmas Belly Boogie, With Regan Tetlow

Melanie Curtis — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 12:47:10 +0000

Here’s something you don’t see on ILS very often: belly flying. Yes, belly flying, people! And for the record, Regan Tetlow is an awesome FS organizer. I’ve worked with him personally and suggest if you ever have the chance to get on one of his loads, definitely do it. Here’s a collection of Regan’s group during the 2012 Christmas Boogie with the stunning views of Skydive Empuriabrava. Add some intense music to some FS fun and you’ve got yourself a winner.

This edit is the last of the home baked goodies that Keith Creedy and Melissa Garcia made at the Invasion 2012. Check out Day 8, the final day of the boogie, with some awesome flying and visuals. Not to mention Ari and Ryan giving us some solid dirt-diving tips in the mockup, and Alex Bittner showing off his friend’s 1,000th jump on a gorgeous sunset load. I already miss the Invasion.

Friday Freakout: A Horseshoe Is NOT Lucky, It’s A Malfunction!

Shannon Seyb — Fri, 16 Nov 2012 12:50:05 +0000

Ever try to get down to a formation with your d-bag and lines bouncing around? Umm, that’s called a horseshoe and, contrary to Irish folklore, a horseshoe while skydiving is NOT lucky — it’s a malfunction! The key is to ignore the malfunction and arch harder. Oh, and dodge your friend who’s trying to dump you out. Or maybe he was trying to dock — it’s somewhat unclear. Lol. But at least they got a nice 4-way after he deployed, and everyone reached the ground safely.

Fun “Inverted” RW Skydiving

AJ and Boz do some “inverted” RW skydiving at Skydive Burnaby in Wainfleet, Ontario. All goes well, sort of… Boz ends up on his belly every time he tries to flip on his back — like a real badminton birdie. This looks like tons-o-fun! Now let’s see an inverted 8-way :)
