GoPros are the best toys out there, and as you can imagine, the GoPro Bomb Squad is armed to the teeth with said toys. This edit not only captures their speedflying in the picturesque snowy mountains of Alaska, it also captures Neil Amonson’s epic Chewbacca-esque man-beard and all the adventures of the squad‘s road trip along the way.

Friday Freakout: Sled BASE Jump Almost Ends In Disaster

Instead of a tried and true ski-BASE exit, Dennis Ohlsen opted to ride a sled off the edge of a snowy cliff. Sure, a fun idea in theory… until your sled gets stuck on the edge, sending you off said cliff with almost no forward speed. Dennis comes incredibly close to the cliff in his first few seconds of freefall, but luckily he escapes without a scratch.

Vladimir Spigler and friends are keeping busy with some winter BASE jumping until warmer weather arrives. The jumps off snow covered cliffs at the 3:10 mark are particularly surreal. Have you ever gone skydiving or BASE jumping in the winter?

Snowy Superior Speedflying

Snowy white everywhere you look — every ridge, every rock, every branch, every flat. Thanks to Marshall Miller of the GoPro Bomb Squad for this beautiful footage from a speedflying run at Mt. Superior in Utah. And thanks to GoPros that get us this footage. For anyone interested in flying parachutes, speed wings, paragliders, or whatever next to stunning terrain, this is worth a watch. Have you ever tried speedflying?
