Friday Freakout: Double Tandem Collision Near Miss
Here’s something you don’t see every day (wait for it): a tandem collision near miss with one tandem in freefall and the other under canopy. Another few seconds before deploying and this might have been a tandem sandwich — or at least a very close flyby. Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: The "Screaming Horse Face" Tandem...
This holds a close second place to my favorite (and funniest) tandem skydive reaction of all time, but this footage is guaranteed to make you laugh and smile too! Her face goes from terror, to excitement, to hilarious horse lips, all in the span of 50 seconds. There’s only one way to watch this… Step... Watch Video »

Bikini Skydive In Aruba
I usually don’t post tandem videos, but something in this clip just caught my eye. I guess I’m just a sucker for nice views. Check out the sweet scenery at Skydive Aruba. You’re welcome. Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Tandem Bag Lock Malfunction
How about a sketchy bag lock malfunction on a tandem jump? No thanks! This is a mess from the very first line stow — such is the brilliance of hindsight (and slow motion). Who else is thanking their lucky socks that they’ve never pitched a reserve on their back with someone strapped to their chest?... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: "The Screamer" Tandem
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a “screamer.” This girl has more than just second thoughts before her first tandem; she sounds like a victim being tortured in a horror movie. I’m not gonna lie, I kinda feel bad for her, but I also laughed out loud. Does that make me a horrible person? Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Altitude Awareness Fail. Double F...
What NOT to do while skydiving: Jump with a tandem as a new jumper. Start backflying after the tandem has deployed at 5,000ft. Go for the dock no matter what the altitude. Fly over the top of your mate at 2,000ft. Ignore your altimeter at 1,800ft. Take the time to wave off (to who!?) at... Watch Video »
3 Minutes of Summer
From head down pieces and big exploding hybrids to XRW and cloudy BASE jumps. Oh, and let’s throw in some 3-way waterskiing and combat slip-n-slide. Why not, right? End it with a tandem smiling ear-to-ear and a synchronized swoop. Cool little 3-minuter. Well worth a watch to get your summer started right. Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: CRAZY - Grandma Falls Out of Skyd...
OMG! This has to be one of the craziest/scariest tandem videos I’ve ever seen. Kinda makes me feel sick just watching it, but luckily this tandem instructor’s negligence ends without casualty. Long story short, this 80 year-old grandma does a tandem skydive for her birthday and nearly falls out of the harness because it’s not... Watch Video »
Nick Vujicic: No Arms. No Legs. No Limits!
Nick Vujicic is a true inspiration — not only because he’s a motivational speaker, but because of his story. Born without limbs due to the rare Tetra-amelia disorder, life hasn’t been easy for Nick. But this video is proof that he’s living a life of dreaming big and not giving up. Skydiving has been on... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Tandem Skydive Goes Wrong
Talk about bad timing. Deploying your drogue while head down doesn’t seem like a good idea. Something bad might happen, like the drogue wrapping around your foot. At least this TI can sleep soundly at night knowing he didn’t fuck up as badly as this other tandem instructor. I’m sure some of you have an... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: We've Got A Screamer
This girl is still game for her tandem jump, but she screams her ass off on the way to the door. This is a pretty tame “screamer” compared to the grown man crying before his tandem or the woman freaking out on her tandem exit. What do you think… at what point should a tandem... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Deer In The Headlights
This first-time tandem is frozen stiff… like dear in the headlights. I guess he thought keeping his mouth open that wide would help slow him down. Now someone get this kid a glass of water. My all-time favorite tandem clip is this hilarious tandem skydive reaction. How scared — or relaxed — were you on... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Women Freaks Out on Tandem Exit
This women freaks out right before exit on her first tandem skydive, but in the end she makes the jump. Although this is pretty entertaining, you can’t criticize her… she’s just verbally expressing what most of us were probably thinking before our first skydive. Did you scream/yell/cry before your first jump? Watch Video »
Cameraman Cut-Away With Skyhook
After trying to clear tension knots on his JVX 86 and losing nearly 2,000 feet in altitude, this cameraman chops his main and – thanks to his Skyhook – has his reserve deployed in a split-second. Do you use a standard RSL, Skyhook or nothing at all… and why (or why not)? Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Grown Man Cries Before Tandem Sky...
This is a clip from America’s Funniest Home Videos of a grown man who cries before exit on his tandem skydive, and in the end he just can’t bring himself to do it. He does, however, give it a second try to regain a little bit of his pride. Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Hilarious Tandem Skydive Reaction...
ROFLMAO! This guy was born to skydive. One of the funniest tandem skydive reactions and Friday Freakouts I’ve seen in a long time. Go ahead, laugh out loud… you know you want to (if you haven’t already). It’s all in good fun. Watch Video »
Skydiving Tattoo Sets New World Record
Guitarist Zeke Galt thought it would be a great idea to have the initials of his band, Surefire Machine (SFM), tattooed on his arm during his first tandem skydive at Edmonton Skydive Centre in Canada. Who knew a silly stunt like this would set a new world record for the first tandem freefall tattoo? Probably... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Skydiving Instructor Fail... 2 + ...
I feel bad for this skydiving instructor who was fired for making a mistake, a fairly big mistake – forgetting to connect two of the four attachment points on the student’s harness (although he did manage to connect them in freefall before the drogue was deployed). Then again, I also feel like he should be... Watch Video »
Heroic Skydiving Instructor Saves Woman’s Life
Dave Hartsock, a hero who’s touching story aired on CBS in early 2010, put his life on the line for a tandem student who entrusted her life with him. Dave unselfishly sacrificed his body to protect her. Luckily she escaped unharmed, but Dave has paid dearly for this courageous act of heroism. This man is... Watch Video »
