Head-Down Hybrid: Hanging Upside Down

Melanie Curtis — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 13:24:59 +0000

This looks like something I’d totally want to try — well, minus sticking my feet into my friends’ chest straps! Lol. Head down hybrid hanging… for real. Starting off in a normal hybrid, they work into their first head-down attempt. What I like most is these guys gave it a shot, a safe shot, and had fun in the process! What’s better to do in the sky than that?

Friday Freakout: Zoo Dive, Close Call Openings

Andrew — Fri, 18 Jan 2013 13:24:07 +0000

Talk about a zoo dive. Here’s a dozen skydivers on a tracking jump at the Invasion 2012 and a few of the people that fell behind get a little too close for comfort, tracking over each other — and towards each other — at break-off. The 180 opening didn’t help either. Compared to this other parachute collision in freefall, this close opening doesn’t look so bad.

Friday Freakout: Skydiver Hits Head HARD On Plane!

Andrew — Fri, 18 Jan 2013 12:50:01 +0000

The skyvan was flying at the Invasion 2012, and this is a good example of how NOT to exit said aircraft. We call it “jumping” for a reason… because we’re jumping out of planes, not casually stepping out of them. Despite how bad this looks/sounds, luckily he was wearing a helmet and he landed safely without injury. #INVASIONweek wouldn’t be complete without a little carnage.

#INVASIONweek Day 8: Celebrating 1,000 Skydives!

Andrew — Thu, 17 Jan 2013 12:50:15 +0000

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.

#INVASIONweek Day 5: Skydivers Invade The Sky. And Bloopers.

Andrew — Wed, 16 Jan 2013 12:50:05 +0000

This is one of my fave videos from Skydive Sebastian’s Invasion 2012 (my all-time fave video from the boogie is Enter The Jumper, of course). Here are highlights from Day 5, with an appearance from Luis “Basil” Prinetto and a solid set of bloopers at the end. #INVASIONweek continues…

Ultimate Freedom: Living The Dream

Andrew — Wed, 16 Jan 2013 12:48:58 +0000

A nice short film about why we jump, featuring Lawrence De Laubadere as he cuts away from job and life in New York City to become a full-time skydiver. Along their journey, Lawrence and his friends have learned that skydiving is not only a sport, but an art and a way of life. LDL is living the dream!

#INVASIONweek: Memorable Moments At Skydive Sebastian

Andrew — Tue, 15 Jan 2013 12:50:27 +0000

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?

Andrew — Tue, 15 Jan 2013 12:50:24 +0000

LMAO. This is what happens when freeflyers and wingsuiters collide… literally. This brilliant short is brought to you by an equally brilliant short man, Keith Creedy. Love your work buddy!

#INVASIONweek: Skydiving Whale + Women’s Vertical Record

Andrew — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 12:50:28 +0000

While training for the upcoming women’s freefly world record, a new women’s vertical Florida state record was set at Skydive Sebastian during the Invasion 2012. These highlights from Day 3 have it all, but you’ll want to stick around ’til the end to catch the skydiving inflatable whale (have you seen the inflatable pecker yet?), along with the bloopers and carnage… all of which is bound to put a smile on your face.

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 Bones giving us some insight into his sit fly revolution, and Selwyn Facey having a seizure in front of the camera (or was that an orgasm??).

THE INVASION

Andrew — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 11:50:37 +0000

Thanks to our friend Brad Womack, we’re still ballin’ with more footage from the 2011/2012 Invasion at Skydive Sebastian. Gangster rap has never sounded so good in skydiving clips before. P.S. Pac is still alive!

Winter In Paradise: Sebastian Invasion

Sydney Williams — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 11:50:20 +0000

In case you were living under a rock during the Sebastian Invasion, here’s a sweet video (one of many circulating from the boogie) from our friend Jonathan Pears of Back To Awake that will remind you of why you hate living in a place where there is winter instead of sunny Florida. Not sure about the Invasion? Watch this.

Not Sure About The Invasion? Watch This.

Melanie Curtis — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 11:50:45 +0000

Stunning views, sick skydives, island tunes, Bill Schmitz wearing a badass helmet cam, wingsuiting past spectacular industrial haze, sweet smiles for superwoman heli exits, holy head down visuals, the new 42-way Florida state record… and more. If this doesn’t make you want to go to the Invasion at Skydive Sebastian, I’m not sure what will. P.S. The parties rule too. Can anyone say, “Happy New Year??!”

If you haven’t been to the biggest New Year’s skydiving boogie in Florida, you need to get down to Skydive Sebastian for the Invasion this year. It’s one party you don’t want to miss. This is a shot of Patrick Everson, Richard Parkin and William Onieal on a wingsuit flock at the 2011 Invasion. Photo by Jeff Nebelkopf of TonySuit Wingsuits.

Freefly Invasion at Skydive Sebastian

Andrew — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 18:00:02 +0000

This is a great edit by Brad Womack from yet another awesome invasion at Skydive Sebastian in Florida. Looks like a very fun heli ride at 1:03. Thanks to Luis Prinetto and Scott Palmer for organizing everything, and to everyone else who shared their GoPro HD footage with Brad.
