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 »
Freefly Friday at Skydive The Farm
I’d never mess with the tradition of an entertaining Friday Freakout video, so it looks like Friday came early this week thanks to Brad Womack’s “Freefly Friday” edit at Skydive The Farm. Crack a beer, kick your feet up and watch this (don’t worry, just tell your boss I said it was ok). Watch Video »
Fierce Freeflying In Dubai (Invite-Only Event)
Some foreign faces and flying I recognize in this video! I see Finns and Brits and Swedes just to name a few. A small but skilled group tearing up the skies at the Dubai Sequentials, an invite-only event over Skydive Dubai. The inside flying is fierce and the outside video is creative as hell. Very...

Epic Skydiving Stunt: First Ever DOUBLE Mr. Bill!
So the guys at Niagara Skydive spent months planning the first ever DOUBLE Mr. Bill for Dillon’s 500th jump. This is one of those stunts that easily could’ve ended up as “that jump where that dude’s foot got ripped off,” but I’m happy to report that’s NOT what happened. Luckily this epic double Mr. Bill...

How To Rock a Stadium Demo... Red Bull Style
Red Bull Air Force rocks, that’s no secret. I don’t know about you, but most of the footage I see from stadium demos comes from the spectators. Here’s a birds eye view from the Red Bull boys themselves. And the roar from the crowd when they land into Chase field? Sweet mother of all things... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Swoop Gone Wrong. Stupid Hurts.
Same turn, same place, same height. Or so he thought. A great comparison of a swoop gone wrong and a swoop gone right. Stupid hurts, but those same mistakes can keep us alive if they teach us something. Live and learn everyone! Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: CRW. Clouds. Cutaway.
Doing CRW (canopy relative work) in clouds probably wasn’t the wisest decision these two skydivers ever made. It’s a bit like doing a low hook turn blindfolded. In fact, thinking about it, that may even be safer. Watch Video »
Nobody To Jump With? Use The Airplane!
All I have to say is WHOA. Talk about a 2-way with video! The best part for me is when the guy docks on the wing of the airplane chasing it head down. The outside view will widen your eyes even more. There will be WHOA’s all over the place. Super cool, and oddly looks... Watch Video »
Booze + Freeflying = Paskaboogie?!
It’s not enough to just throw your GoPro videos on the Interwebs anymore. We’re continually seeing videos that have amazing intros, sweet special effects, and hot shit flying. This one is no exception. Check out the Finns doing their thing at Paskaboogie 2011. Watch Video »
Badass Big Way: How The F*ck Did They Key This?
Okay, so you can see the first key at 1:55. But seriously, regardless of what orientation you fly, this is some impressive flying — a 4-point 106-way formation skdive! Earlier in the event, they also completed a 100-way from 13,500 feet. No additional altitude necessary. Badass belly flying at it’s finest, circa 2001. Watch Video »
XRW: Leave It To The Pros
Wingsuiting and canopy piloting at it’s finest. Combining the two (XRW) is complete badassery. In order to keep videos like this from going batshit scary and turning up on Friday Freakouts, don’t try this at home, kids. These guys are pros. Now check out the first-ever Project XRW by Raise the Sky… this stuff is... Watch Video »
March Upside Down Madness
Ya know what? There are a LOT of GOOD head down flyers out there now. The climate of the sport has entirely changed in the last 10 years in an amazing way, and this video from the 2012 March Madness at Skydive Sebastian is proof. To be able to put jumps like this together and... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Double Trouble Parachute Malfunct...
Don’t know about you, but I’m seeing double watching this video. Double trouble. And not the good kind, like a pair of hot twins in freefly suits riding motorbikes. The bad kind, like when you chop your main and your reserve’s more twisted up than a pretzel. HOL-Eeeee shit! But at least he didn’t land... Watch Video »
Double Wingsuit Rodeo: Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Wingsuit flocking is good fun. Wingsuit rodeo flocking is even better… especially when you’re flying with a hot chick on your back. No worries, these guys took one for the team and made it happen. You know you’re jealous. Watch Video »
Skydive Elsinore = Freefly Paradise
Mountains, check. Lake, check. Ocean, check. Sick freeflying, quadruple check. A little Honey Badger action (Bryan Gile and Nathan Smith), a little Malchiodi flying, and a whole lot of awesome at Skydive Elsinore in this super sweet freefly-heavy vid. Grab a beer. Watch this. Watch Video »
T is for Tracking
T is for tracking, tracking and more tracking. Coincidentally, T is also for Trond Tiegen — the man behind this edit, as well as some amazing skydiving and BASE jumping photography like this wild wingsuit flight by Jokke Sommer, this golden sunset shot, and a successful swoop and chug. Nice work Trond! Watch Video »
World-Class Skydiving: Hayabusa Does Dubai
All Belgians all the time. That’s what this video is about. And more specifically, Belgians at Skydive Dubai. All joking aside, this video is a kickass compilation of a truly kickass team: Hayabusa. Most footage of them doing what they do best, 4-way formation skydiving, sliced up with some cool angles and other little bits... Watch Video »
Fly Like Squirrel - Wingsuit Flocks
Apparently these “squirrel suit” things can make humans fly. Thanks to Eli Gerris for the compilation of wingsuit flights with Team Oxygen and friends. Watch Video »
Not Sure About The Invasion? Watch This.
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.... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Skyhook Cutaway Saves Skydiver
Having a collision in freefall after a cutaway is a really bad problem to have. Luckily for Brett Newman his Skyhook worked as advertised and saved his ass from a nasty collision after a cutaway… by only a few feet. Timing is everything, and the Skyhook delivered as promised. In case you didn’t realize just... Watch Video »
