#INVASIONweek Day 5: Skydivers Invade The Sky. And...
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… Watch Video »
Ultimate Freedom: Living The Dream
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... 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: Skydiving Whale + Women's Vertical ...
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?),... Watch Video »

Friday Freakout: 3-In-1 Parachute Wrap, Spin And E...
It’s not too often you get a 3-in-1 parachute malfunction. It starts off with two guys entangled in lines. Then one of them puts their canopy on spin cycle. And just as they untangle from the mess, he cuts away, ejecting himself back into freefall — which, I must admit, kinda looks like fun considering... Watch Video »

The Red Bull Air Force flying a stacked wingsuit formation, training for the “upcoming” IMAX film, Human Flight 3D. A lot of us have been waiting patiently for this flick to hit the big screen, and it’s been a while since any new information has been released, but Red Bull has issued this statement: “Human...

Skydive Debacle: The Most Amazing Zoo Dive Ever!
LMAO! This is by far the most amazing (read: funniest) zoo dive ever, brought to you by Team Liger. In their own words, “We might actually be the worlds worst skydive team, but damn we have fun being unconventional.” Just watch this and try not to laugh. Watch Video »
Freefly History: X-Games ESPN Coverage 1997
Skydiving history, right here! The X-Games coverage of the freefly competition in 1997 between Z Airtime, the Fly Boyz, and the Freefly Clowns. Not the time of belly-mounted reserves or anything, but the time of loud jumpsuits and antics on the podium. Ok, so the antics haven’t changed a whole lot. Super cool snapshot into... Watch Video »
The Palm 3: Mini Maktoum
This is the last of The Palm trilogy (watch part one and part deux), featuring Mini Maktoum — the next generation of flyers who are going to change the game. These kids are 6, 7, 8 years old and already shredding it. Around the 8-minute mark. The rest of the video is awesome too, but... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: When Skysurfing Goes Bad
I’ve always been averse to strapping things to myself when skydiving. I think the best I can do is a camera on my head. Yeah, this video shows what happens when a skysurf jump goes bad. The board comes off one foot, but stays attached to the other. It becomes an instant and violent propeller.... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Lasso A Camera With Your Shoe Lac...
So you have less than 200 jumps and wanna jump a camera, huh? Think again. But if you do anyways, send us the footage :p Here’s what can happen when you’re an experienced skydiver and you accidentally lasso a camera with your shoe laces. Yeehaw! Watch Video »
Team USA: Downplane + Flag Demo Jump
Join Team USA as they fly a downplane with a massive American flag between them. If you’ve never done a downplane, or a flag jump for that matter, you can do both vicariously through this cool POV and outside footage. Watch Video »
Mr. Bill BELLY Exit?? Hmmm...
Here’s a standard 2-way belly exit where one person immediately deploys into a Mr. Bill. Looks like a premature deployment, which is why my danger alarm bells are going off. Given this is a deliberate execution of said move, it looks like it went well! Be careful out there, team… and have fun too! Looks... Watch Video »

Air Show Stunt: Wingsuiters vs. Wingwalkers
People walking on wings and flockers docked on planes. That’s what you get when you combine a wingsuit formation team with a wingwalker team from the Scandinavian Airshow. What would have been super-mega-cool is if the wingsuiters had docked on the wingwalkers. Anyone up for the challenge? Watch Video »
Fly It, Spaceland
Make no bones about it, Skydive Spaceland has a pretty hot scene going on. We’re also stoked to show you THE Simon Bones without his trademarked, patent-pending Bones jumpsuit. That, and some good ole fashioned skydiving clips. But really, BONES WITHOUT BONES, Y’ALL! Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: AFF Student's Pilot Chute In Tow
I’m not exactly sure how many jumps this AFF student had prior to this one, but it doesn’t matter, a pilot chute in tow is a scary malfunction for any skydiver. You know it’s a bad situation when you’re instructor screams “oh fuck!” The unstable deployment surely didn’t help, but it seems the bridle got... Watch Video »

Tracking Through Twenty-Twelve
All I want for Christmas is a tracking dive that lasts nearly four minutes. Is that too much to ask? Belly tracking, back tracking, and some steeper stuff peppered with some freeflying for those of you who aren’t into tracking. And a dash of trippy-reflective-mirror visual effects for good measure.
