Sunny Summer Skyjumping in New Zealand

Andrew — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 11:50:23 +0000

Tracking, tracking and more tracking in the sunny summer skies at Skydive Auckland in New Zealnd, with a little mix of vertical flying, tube jumps, and 4-way FS. The best thing is, most of the jumpers in this video have less than 650 jumps. Winning.

“Free” Flying Fun at Skydive Spain

Freeflying isn’t free, or cheap for that matter, but it IS liberating. Start your week off right with a little freeflying fun from Mike Brigg and friends at Skydive Spain.

Vive Les Tubes!!!

Oh yeah, vive les tubes! Cool double-tube jump, killer clouds all around (ahem, “industrial haze”), fun docks, different angles, and bottom line — tubes just look cool in freefall and even cooler with people flying all around them. When and where was your last tube jump?

FlyVertical: The Most Vertical Adventure

Andrew — Tue, 06 Nov 2012 12:50:38 +0000

Alright, so apparently this is the most vertical adventure at the sunniest DZ in Germany. But once you get past the iMovie intro, it’s a solid edit from, well, the sunniest DZ in Germany. Of course. Sunset jumps, tube jumps, freeflying, and what would a skydiving video be without some weird party shots. Daz eez good, ya? (To all my German friends out there, don’t mind me, I’m an idiot and I still love you.)

Friday Freakout: Trapped Altimeter, Hard One-Handed Landing

Shannon Seyb — Fri, 28 Sep 2012 11:50:14 +0000

Some days things just don’t go your way. This poor skydiver was having one of those bad days. First, the freefly tube was spinning him around like a top. Then, his altimeter gets trapped in his risers on deployment. And finally, he steers one-handed and lands super hard in a ditch. In a situation like this, let go of the damn tube — it’s not worth your life! Live and learn people, live and learn.

Peace of Mind = Sunset + Cypres + Skydive Expo

I’ve never seen CYPRES tubes and the Skydive Expo look this beautiful. And the music makes me think of Zihuatanejo, like in Shawshank Redemption. The truth is, this is a stunning tribute to a company that literally saves skydivers’ lives, and helps us feel even more peace when we fly in skies like these. Beautiful. Thank you, Airtech/CYPRES.

Totally Tubular Freeflying

A fun jump with a handful of freefly tubes. Photo by Federico Busanello. Looking for more “tubular” pics, check out Freak Playing With His Tube. Sorry for the lame ’80s lingo; I just watched Point Break recently.

Freak Playing With His ‘Tube’

Andrew — Sun, 24 Apr 2011 17:52:18 +0000

When Freakfly isn’t wearing roller skates in freefall, he’s either freeflying or playing with his big, long tube – uhh, freefly… freefly tube.
