The FUNNIEST Wingsuit Rodeo Ever!!!

Andrew — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 11:50:05 +0000

What do you get when you bring a water bottle and Parachutist Magazine along for the ride on the back of a wingsuit? The FUNNIEST wingsuit rodeo ever!!! I’ve seen some pretty awesome wingsuit rodeos — like this ridiculous rodeo reaction, putting a condom on a banana, and some nice cleavage — but I think this one rules them all. What do you think?

Extreme Skydiving: Ironing Clothes In Freefall

Andrew — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 11:50:43 +0000

Extreme ironing (yes, ironing clothes!) in freefall by Mike Frost and Steve Scott is right up there with solving a Rubik’s cube in freefall, as well as chasing hamburgers out of an airplane, and let’s not forget the skydiving tattoo that set a world record. What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done in the sky?

Friday Freakout: Skydive With Massive Umbrella! Win or Fail?

Andrew — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 12:50:56 +0000

GoPro athlete Eric Roner channels his inner Mary Poppins… and discovers why umbrellas don’t make great parachutes. This stunt is definitely up there with the world’s first skydive using plastic grocery bags as a parachute. What d’you think: win or fail?

Airplane vs. Parachutist

Melanie Curtis — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 12:50:16 +0000

Here’s another kind of formation flying… this time with badass Red Bull Air Force aerobatic pilot, Martin Sonka, flying side-by-side with skydiver/parachutist, Petr Mestak. Martin holds the airplane in ever so slightly angled flight — much like a helicopter — right next to Mestak underneath his cross-braced parachute. Very impressive.

Flying Donkey Shocks Beachgoers. WTF?!!

Andrew — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 12:47:09 +0000

Local entrepreneurs in Russia thought it would be a brilliant idea to send a parachuting donkey into the sky as an advertising stunt to promote their parasailing business. Bad idea. Really, really bad idea. Unfortunately there’s no cure for stupid.

Team USA: Downplane + Flag Demo Jump

Andrew — Thu, 03 Jan 2013 12:50:41 +0000

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.

Mr. Bill BELLY Exit?? Hmmm…

Melanie Curtis — Wed, 02 Jan 2013 13:05:15 +0000

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 like these guys are doing both.

Air Show Stunt: Wingsuiters vs. Wingwalkers

Shannon Seyb — Mon, 31 Dec 2012 12:52:29 +0000

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?

Stunt Junkies: Jonathan Tagle’s 3-in-1 Stunt

Sydney Williams — Thu, 13 Dec 2012 12:50:48 +0000

The late Jonathan Tagle is flying high, wherever he is (RIP buddy), but his legendary stunts will stay with us forever. In this episode of Stunt Junkies, the one and only Tizzle attempts a rad 3-in-1 trifecta that goes from swooping to cutaway to BASE jump.

Eating In Freefall: Fast Food or Fine Dining?

Andrew — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 12:51:36 +0000

Remember that Seinfeld episode when George Costanza combines sex and food? Well this is kind of like that. Just replace sex with skydiving (although adding sex into the mix would be the ultimate). These guys attempt “fine dining” in freefall, but I’m leaning more towards fast food. Really faaaast food. Definitely looks like fun, but nothing will ever beat Mel’s hilarious stunt chasing hamburgers out of an airplane. Ever.

The Human Slingshot

Andrew — Thu, 06 Dec 2012 12:48:50 +0000

What goes up must come down. The human slingshot at Skydive Dubai was a huge crowd-pleaser during the 2012 World Parachuting Championships. And I thought the human catapult at Bridge Day was cool. I want one of these for Christmas. What’s on your wish list?

Awesome 3-Way Hybrid Wingsuit Rodeo

Andrew — Tue, 04 Dec 2012 12:50:18 +0000

Usually a 3-way skydive isn’t something to get overly excited about. And we’ve all seen a wingsuit rodeo before. How about a 3-way hybrid wingsuit rodeo? Sure, why not. TJ Landgren mixes things up by docking on a wingsuit rodeo during the Phoenix-Fly Wingsuit Event at Australian Skydive. If you’re wondering who’s behind the lens, it’s the talented Jarno Cordia of team Fly Like Brick.

Helicopter Jump To Party Boat Landing At 120 MPH

Andrew — Thu, 29 Nov 2012 12:48:47 +0000

The GoPro Bomb Squad visits the great city of San Francisco to drop from a helicopter and land on a party boat. Sounds like a rad idea, right? Well it was, until Marshall Miller almost missed the boat — literally. Be a hero… lend a hand if your friend comes up short.

Red Bull Kluge: The ‘Rube Goldberg’ Athlete Machine

Andrew — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 13:12:31 +0000

Derived from the German adjective Klug (meaning “clever”), Red Bull Kluge combines complex machinery patched together with the energy and prowess of world-class athletes, to see what happens when physics gets physical. Although this madness starts with a heli jump, it has very little to do with skydiving, but was just too awesome not to share.

“Crasha” The Skydiving Dog. WTF?!

Andrew — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 12:57:10 +0000

Hmmm, usually people take their dog for a walk, not for a tandem skydive. Skydiving? Yes please! Dogs? Yeah, they’re cute. Skydiving dog? Hmmm, I’m not sure how I feel about this one, but I’m sure PETA would lose their mind if they saw this. What d’you think: cruel or no big deal?

Slim Jim Stratos: The World’s Shortest Freefall

Andrew — Thu, 25 Oct 2012 11:50:51 +0000

Slim Jim’s not taking the Red Bull Stratos challenge lying down. Well, actually it sort of is, but the brand attempted to counter the Red Bull-sponsored Felix Baumgartner space jump from 128,000 feet with this stunt — the world’s shortest freefall — on Conan. Team Coco billed the event as “four inches of pure excitement.” See if you agree.

Hilarious… Chasing Hamburgers Outta Airplanes

Andrew — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 11:52:19 +0000

LMAO!! Our very own Melanie Curtis is the star in this hilarious commercial for Jack’s Burgers, where she literally chases hamburgers out of an airplane just to get her fix. Apparently these meat patties are to die for! This was Mel’s first-ever skydiving stunt and acting job, which I think calls for a round of beers (on her, of course, since she’s a superstar now). Click the ‘LIKE’ button to show Mel some love, and check out her fan page here.

The Presidential Skydiving Debate: Obama vs. Romney At 12,000ft

Andrew — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 11:50:05 +0000

President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney change things up and flip the 2012 U.S. Presidential Debate on its head. Literally. The candidates yell and point fingers at each other while flying head down from 12,000 feet. The USPA coordinated this timely stunt in honor of competition at the 2012 USPA National Skydiving Championships, Oct. 25 – Nov. 3 at Skydive Arizona. Without going into a rant or bursting all of the blood vessels in your left eye, who do you feel won this skydiving debate?

Life On The Edge: Exclusive Interview With Felix Baumgartner

Andrew — Mon, 22 Oct 2012 11:52:29 +0000

Prior to Felix Baumgartner’s world record skydive from 128,000ft, this exclusive interview with the Red Bull Stratos pilot highlights his extensive BASE jumping and skydiving history as he prepared himself for the final mission. Felix relives the challenges he has already successfully accomplished and reveals the philosophy that drives him to push himself further and higher.
