Travis Pastrana Skydives Without Parachute

Andrew — Tue, 21 May 2013 12:00:50 +0000

Red Bull gives you balls! Just another day at the office for the guy who invented the MotoX double backflip, madman Travis Pastrana skydives over Arecibo, Puerto Rico without a parachute. It’s like that scene from the movie Point Break where Keanu Reeves skydives without a rig, only this is real. What do you think: coolness or recklessness?

Andrew — Wed, 01 May 2013 11:50:17 +0000

We don’t stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing! Alexander Polli, the man-child behind the unbelievable wingsuit cave flight, is at it again… only this time he’s doing a 3,000 foot rope swing BASE jump with Julien Millot. Take this playful POV ride with Polli and feel like a kid again.

BASE Jump… Off A Moving Car!

Andrew — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 11:50:29 +0000

What’re you gonna do on this jump… a gainer? Naw. Not this time. How about a car jump? Hmmm…

Next, check out this BASE jump from a moving truck.

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.

Parachute + Snowmobile = Parasledding

Andrew — Thu, 24 Jan 2013 12:50:47 +0000

Mind. Blown. No, this has nothing to do with skydiving or BASE jumping, but it’s way too cool not to share. And I’m pretty sure this has never been done before. Introducing parasledding, where paragliding and snowmobiling are combined for one hell of a badass ride down a mountain!

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.

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.

Friday Freakout: Tent + Rope + Duct Tape = “Wingsuit BASE Jump”

Andrew — Fri, 09 Nov 2012 12:50:51 +0000

So you want to try wingsuit BASE jumping, huh? Well here’s an idea. Find a camouflage tent, duct tape it to your wrists and ankles, tie a really long rope to your belt, then jump of a massive cliff. And don’t forget your helmet! This has to be one of the most epic attempts at human flight I’ve ever seen. Sure, we all dream about flying, but this is hilarious/ridiculous/crazy. What d’you think: win or fail?

Sky Circus: Trapeze Meets Flying

Shannon Seyb — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 12:57:12 +0000

Only the French would mix extreme sports with a circus and a pretty girl! Acro paragliding pilot Gill Schneider has some fun with jugglers and a beautiful trapezist, Roxane Giliand, and creates something magical in this short film. Certain judges seem to agree, awarding ShamsProd Best Original Film for Coupe Icare 2012.

“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?
