The Boogie Monster
A collection of David Schwartz’s best moments in 2012 — Summerfest at Skydive Chicago, the Invasion at Skydive Sebastian, UPT Flight Camp, Mustang Beach’s Fall Fandango and the Eloy record camp, just to name a few. As far as I’m concerned, having the opportunity to travel and participate in these great events is “living the... Watch Video »

[#SFW] Friday Freakout: Snappy Head Down Premature...
Usually milestone jumps are the exciting ones, you know, 100, 500, etc. This one is close to 800, but turned out jump number 790 at Summerfest was the one for the YouTube posterity — a snappy head down premature opening. Check your gear before every jump! ~Mel Video by Daniel Croft. Watch Video »
[#SFW] Friday Freakout: Popped Pin? Repack Parachu...
Now this is what I call a really premature opening. Chester’s main pin and d-bag popped out on the ride up in the Sherpa at Summerfest — on a 33-way “no jumpsuit BFR” (Big F’n Round), nonetheless. As skydivers, jump tickets are more important than basic necessities like food and rent. So rather than waste... Watch Video »

And thanks to Skydive Chicago for hosting the breast boogie... Watch Video »

What about pineapple, cantaloupe, watermelon, and a bag of... Watch Video »

Tube jumps, freeflying, an attempt at a “no jumpsuit BFR,” and some of the best fireworks you’ll ever see. Ever.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that Skydive Chicago is the epicenter of the Butt First Revolution. Andy Malchiodi and Bill “MX” Halsey are pushing the boundaries of the freeflying discipline.

During the HYPOXIC Summer Boogie Tour, our friend Trunk managed to convince a plane full of bikini-wearing chicks to straddle a massive inflatable pecker in freefall… but he almost gets taken out by the projectile. And then he gets a grab and BJ in freefall. Teeth were involved. True story. Watch Video »
