Skydiver "Ejected" From Plane
What goes up, must come down! This skydiver gets ejected, for lack of a better word, from a YAK-52 trainer aircraft over Sosnovy Bor Aero Club in Russia. In addition to the mad video editing skills and music, the sub-500 foot static line exit at 2:11 is pretty epic too. Only in Russia. What’s the... Watch Video »
Electric Scooter Skydiving Stunt
Timmmaaaay takes his electric scooter out for a skydive in Australia. I’m not quite sure what the message is here… Raw Energy drink gives elderly people wings?? Watch Video »
Look Ma, No Hands... F**k The Toggles
Why use toggles for landing when you can look this good without them! Have you ever tried a ghostrider swoop before? Watch Video »
New Skydiving Stunt: Mr. Bill To Wingsuit Rodeo

Skydiver Solves Rubik's Cube In Freefall
The extreme sheep herding just had to be followed up with extreme speedcubing. Although I’m not in to speedcubing, I like to solve complex algorithms in freefall to calculate my speed and altitude. The way I see it, it’s cheaper than springing for an altimeter. Watch Video »
Wingsuit Fly-By Over The Famous Hollywood Sign
After lots of red tape, Luke Aikins of the Red Bull Air Force was finally able to pull off a project he’s been working on — a wingsuit fly-by over the famous Hollywood Sign landmark in Los Angeles. Well done guys! I can’t wait to see the video footage from Airborne Images. Photo by Andy... View Photo »
Skydiving Car: First Test Drive In Freefall
The über talented Steve and Sara Curtis, Greg Gasson and Joe Jennings took the Chevy Sonic on its first skydiving adventure in the Arizona desert. And apparently Chevy’s new Wile E. Coyote option — a massive parachute — works as advertised. I call “shotgun” on the next jump! Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Parachute Catches Fire, Goes BOOM...
Legendary skydive cinematographer Joe Jennings was asked to coordinate a burning parachute stunt for a music video. Normally they soak the parachute in gasoline and build an ignition switch. But the first attempt didn’t work, so they added gun powder and closed off the front cells to prevent the fuel from drying out too quickly.... Watch Video »

Mr. Bill + Velocity 96 = 4.1 Wingload
What do you get when you pull off a Mr. Bill on a PD Velocity 96? A fast canopy with a 4.1 wingload. I've posted a few Mr. Bills in the past: the popular Friday Freakout which goes horribly wrong (watch here: http://bit.ly/ik1zO9), one that goes horribly right (watch here: http://bit.ly/jKkydR), and the human slingshot on first attempt (watch: http://bit.ly/nIhp6L). Which of those clips is your fave? Watch Video »
Human Slingshot On First Mr. Bill Attempt
Andrew Revesz pulled off his first Mr. Bill exit to celebrate his 100th jump at Skydive Burnaby, which made for an awesome human slingshot once he “ejected” at 8,000 feet. According to my calculations, a “first” Mr. Bill + 100th jump = 2 cases of beer… and a dirty pie to the face! Fortunately this... Watch Video »
Swooping The Hole In The Rock
An awesome clip of Laszlo Csizmadia from Icarus Canopies (by NZ Aerosports) swooping his JVX 77 through the famous “Hole in the Rock” in Bay of Islands, New Zealand. Between Laszlo swooping The Hole in the Rock and Nick swooping onto a moving truck, the JVX is one kickass high performance canopy! What’s the coolest... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: "Mr. Bill" Goes Horribly Wrong
Three words come to mind: cutaway, shit and F*CK — not particularly in that order. Glenda and Phil attempt a Mr. Bill which goes horribly wrong. If you don’t know what “Mr. Bill” is, please don’t try this at home. Have you ever successfully pulled off a Mr. Bill? Watch Video »
Sweet Stunt: Swooping Under Snowmobile
Now THIS is how to sell mobile services. This Norwegian commercial for One Call has all the makings of an epic spy movie — helicopter, skydiving, swooping and a snowmobile busting a backflip — crammed in to a 60 second spot (this is the extended version). Thanks to Magnus at 4 1/2 Film for sharing... Watch Video »
AMAZING: Swooping Onto A Moving Truck!
Thanks to Icarus Canopies for sharing this epic video of Nick Batsch, the distance world record holder, swooping a moving truck with his Daedalus JVX! It’s all fun and games until your lines get wrapped up in the rear axle of a moving truck — no, really. Click the ‘LIKE’ button if you think this... Watch Video »
