Team F: Flying, Fun And Friends. ‘Nuff Said.

Melanie Curtis — Wed, 28 Nov 2012 12:56:24 +0000

It starts off with a dog driving a car. Just sayin’. Stupid skydiver tricks, can’t beat ‘em. This crew looks like they’re having a ton of fun learning together and messing around in the sky. What’s better than that? Sit, head down, belly, swooping over the hot chicks in the pool, and a near cutaway. And damn, that’s a big angle dive. Check it, yo. Comedy series at the end too. Sweet.

Freefalling Through 3,000 Feet Of Clouds

Andrew — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 11:50:40 +0000

So, what does freefalling through 3,000 feet of clouds look like, you ask? Now you know. And no need for alarm, there was a hole in that thick industrial haze (at least at some point on the climb to altitude :-). For all you naughty skydivers out there, let’s give a thumbs up for GPS.

Extreme Skydiving Thumb-War

1, 2, 3, 4… Natanie declares an extreme thumb-war! Could this possibly be the first-ever skydiving thumb-war? Even if it’s not the first or they’re just holding hands, I don’t really care… Natanie wins. Sorry Mark, I’m sure you understand. Photo by Mark Keller.

Friday Freakout: Sit Fly Premature Deployment

Andrew — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 12:19:23 +0000

Ansar Mohammed got a nice surprise — a premature deployment — while sit flying with Whit Bakers, Andre Stepsky and Joe “The German” at Skydive Sebastian in Florida. He’s lucky he wasn’t head down when this happened, like this scary head down opening. Yet another reminder to check your pilot chute and closing loop before every exit. Have a fun and safe weekend everyone.

Good Freeflying. Not-So-Good Landing.

Andrew — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 12:37:39 +0000

Barliman has a good 2-way freefly skydive, but a not-so-good landing. The cover song for “Ice Ice Baby” makes up for it though, right? Or not.

I Am Tunnel King

A cool shot of Emanuele Jockerfly — founder of the free 90 Percent skydiving magazine — flying like a boss in the Airkix Indoor Skydiving wind tunnel in Milton Keynes, UK. In case you missed it, check out this amazing wind tunnel instructor at Airkix I posted a few months ago.

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?

Seize The Day In Slow Motion

Andrew — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 12:22:46 +0000

Another awesome edit in super slow motion. It’s kind of like The Matrix, except you don’t have to listen to Keanu Reeves’s monotone voice for 4.5 hours. If you missed the incredible slow motion video I posted back in May, you have to experience human flight in super slow-mo. What are y’all waiting for… seize the day!

Meditation In The Clouds

This is a literal interpretation of sit flying and brings new meaning to the term “higher meditation.” There’s also a lounging in the clouds version by Bibo. Photo via Guido Saratoga.

Everybody Was Kung-Fu Flying

Andrew — Tue, 10 May 2011 17:57:18 +0000

It took Kung-Fu Panda skills to capture this flying dropkick in freefall at the 2011 Freezefest Boogie. This cat was fast as lightning!
