The Endless Summer
Most of us wish summer would never end, especially those of us who live through a proper winter with snowshoes, igloos and dogsleds. That is, unless you’re one of those people that swap your rig for a snowboard around this time of year… traitor! Well it looks like Mason Corby kept the party going in... Watch Video »
#INVASIONweek: Memorable Moments At Skydive Sebast...
It’s hard not to have fun at the Invasion, and this edit by David Farmer has fun written all over it. I love the tattoo quote at 2:28, “Fear is the thief of dreams.” Have you ever been to Skydive Sebastian’s Invasion? If so, what was your most memorable moment? Watch Video »
#INVASIONweek: Skydive Sebastian's Invasion 2012 -...
Are you ready for an Invasion marathon? ILS presents our “Invasion Week” series, where we’ll be featuring the best videos from one of the best boogies of the year — Skydive Sebastian’s Invasion 2012. With a legitimate weather hold on Day 1 due to high winds, here are the highlights from Day 2, including Simon... Watch Video »
GoPro-Ductions Presents: Wheels UP!
It’s that time of year when all of the fun year-end videos start popping up. This edit from Parachute Montreal is a bit long, but it’s got everything from sit flying to head down, FS to swooping, a few malfunctions, and a little Gangnam Style! Perfect for a hump day lunch break. Watch Video »
Freefalling Through 3,000 Feet Of Clouds
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. Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Sit Fly Premature Opening Hits Sk...
Having a premature opening while sit flying and then hitting your friend is a really shitty way to start your weekend. Then again, it could’ve been worse, like this scary head down opening. Check your gear. Check your gear. Check your gear. Watch Video »
Jump No. 9: Badass Freeflying Student?!
You’ve heard of the term “100 jump wonder.” But what does jump #9 look like for a skydiving student who also happens to be a tunnel instructor? Something like this. Not bad for jump 9! Imagine what his 100th jump will look like. Now he just needs to downsize and start swooping by jump #12... Watch Video »
A Season Of Skydives And Smiles
Lots of different stuff in this edit… sweet angle flying, swoops through the trees (and cows), proximity flying with high performance parachutes, and tons more. Can’t beat the sit-fly smiles and atmo a-ha’s. Pretty crazy that a skydiving season can include so much. But it can, and this is a great video to showcase such... Watch Video »
A Dream Within A Dream
Settle back in your chair. Take a deep breath. Relax. Look at the center of your screen. Do not look off. Think of nothing else. Watch Video »

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. View Photo »
Friday Freakout: Sit Fly Premature Deployment
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... Watch Video »

Good Freeflying. Not-So-Good Landing.
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. Watch Video »
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. View Photo »
Cloud Bunny: Roberta Mancino
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? View Photo »
Seize The Day In Slow Motion
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... Watch Video »
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. View Photo »
