The Red Bull Skydive Team Has Wiiings
Bitchin’ footage from the European Red Bull Skydive Team‘s recent wingsuit training camp at Skydive Sebastian. Yeah, I said “bitchin’.” This edit has it all, from wingsuit vertical stacks and flat formations to CRW swoops and even a few Otter fly-bys. Mm mm, Red Bull never looked so good. It’s fun, check it out :) Watch Video »
Skydiving Speed Check: Slow It Down. Way Down.
Whoa. We think of skydiving as fast and furious, but this video slows us all down and focuses on the pure beauty that is our sport — as seen through the lens of Team 4Loko (now known as STF Block Party). At the very least, check out Angela’s freestyle. Stunning. Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: The Longest Malfunction In Skydiv...
This has to be one of the longest parachute malfunctions I’ve ever seen. In fact, I made a sandwich halfway through it. Long story short, Niklas Daniel of AXIS Flight School intended to do a high altitude hop and pop to work on some canopy flocking, but got an interesting malfunction instead. Sure, a hook...

Project XXXRW: Parachutes, Planes and Wingsuits
Now this is what I call a hot threesome: parachutes, planes and wingsuits all flying together in formation! You’ve likely seen some pretty cool XRW formations before, and an aerobatic airplane do barrel rolls around a wingsuit, so naturally the next step was to mash them together. I know I had you at “threesome,” but... Watch Video »
Nick Vujicic: No Arms. No Legs. No Limits!
Nick Vujicic is a true inspiration — not only because he’s a motivational speaker, but because of his story. Born without limbs due to the rare Tetra-amelia disorder, life hasn’t been easy for Nick. But this video is proof that he’s living a life of dreaming big and not giving up. Skydiving has been on... Watch Video »
First Steps: Team Polte's Skydiving Season Opener
Yet another winner from Team Polte. These guys know a thing or two about freeflying and how to slice up a solid skydiving video. Don’t believe me? Start with this one, then check out their other edits — What It’s All About and Call of Dubai: Modern Freefall — and let me know which one... Watch Video »
Turning Tricks - Lodi Sequential
Raising the bar once again with some sick sequentials in Lodi! There’s not much to say other than watch this and try not to smile. And just in case you’re craving more, check out Olav Zipser freeflying through a 40-way sequential. Watch Video »
Ooops! Skydiver Falls Out Of Inverted Plane.
Must be nice to have friends with badass planes to jump “fall” out of. In this case, a Yak 52. Not too shabby! But definitely not as fun as being ejected from a Yak 52 like this guy. Anyone have a Yak 52, bi-plane, or something else that’s totally badass we can jump out of?... Watch Video »
F.U.N. That's what's up.
I like Team FUNorDIE’s style, “we may not be the best, but we have the most FUN!” Hell yeah. They also know how to have fun with a GoPro. Lots of skydiving footage, but we also kick it off with a tattoo, plus a massive party and a joyride on the back of a motorcycle.... Watch Video »
THE INVASION
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! Watch Video »
Who Needs Planes... Paramotor Skydiving FTW!
Who needs planes for skydiving when you can use a paramotor instead, right?! So here’s the idea: you hang on to a rope for dear life while your friend hauls your ass up to 1,000 feet (give or take) on his paramotor. You let go. Rinse and repeat. What could possibly go wrong? Watch Video »
Sweet Chile Heat - Skydive Andes
Getting us out of the US of A for some hot Chile footage from Skydive Andes. This edit has jumps and exits of all kinds… belly, head down, head up, atmo, etc. And all out of a Cessna. I mean, there’s even some hanging on the strut, and I’d say the star of the show... Watch Video »
March Madness: World-Class Skydiving
Setting a skydiving world record requires world-class talent, which would explain all of the amazing talent that was assembled for the world record tryouts at Skydive Sebastian during March Madness. This is our first collaboration on a skydiving video, so HUGE thanks to WIDSIX for the edit and STF Block Party for the footage. Stay... Watch Video »
Wingsuit Flying... At Night... On Fire
Some pretty spectacular footage of wingsuit flyers doing a night jump during Summerfest 2011 at Skydive Chicago… not only for killer video and pics, but for all the boogie-goers to see and enjoy. Super cool. Amazing what a couple of mega-sparkler canisters can do in the night sky. Check out this other night jump at... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Student's Parachute Rips In Half!
Let me know if you think there’s anything wrong with the story behind this mess. Both of these skydivers were turned away at a DZ for wearing a camera with less than 20 jumps each, so they found another DZ that didn’t ask. The “cameraman” attempts to backfly on his non-freefly friendly rental rig to... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Skydiving Collision CLOSE Call
Wow, that was way too close for comfort! Kenneth and his friend narrowly miss each other in what could’ve been a nasty crash while flying head down in Sweden. But thanks to the fetal position, they were both lucky this time — unlike these other guys who followed through on their mid-air collision. Watch Video »
LTD, Baby! Welcome To My Office.
If you’re like most skydivers, you probably dream of “living the dream” in true skydiver fashion: where the bright blue skies or wind tunnel are your office. Check out AXIS Flight School members Niklas Daniel and Brianne Thompson playing around in their “office” over Skydive Arizona. LTD, baby! Watch Video »
Winter In Paradise: Sebastian Invasion
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... Watch Video »
Skydiver Eats Cheeseburger In Freefall. Gets A Lit...
Now this is what I call fast food! As a lover of all things good burgers, this is borderline amazing and gut wrenching. I’d like to see someone try this with a Big Mac. Or a Whopper. And yes, that’s a challenge. Go! Watch Video »
Roberta Mancino's HTC Commercial: Now THIS Is Adve...
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... Watch Video »
