Melanie Curtis — Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:50:35 +0000

Now that’s some cool flocking flocking! And flocking of the wingsuit variety. It’s always a pleasure to watch Jarno Cordia’s footage, with his dynamic flying and carving around the formations. Check out this fun footage with various groups — both big and small — flying together after the 2012 Artistic Wingsuit Competition in Siofok, Hungary.

Andrew — Thu, 28 Feb 2013 12:50:10 +0000

In an effort to celebrate and raise awareness for the British Armed Forces, the Jump4Heroes team fly one of their dream lines in their wingsuits along the infamous and dominating north face of the Eiger in the Swiss Alps. After taking a minute of silence in memory of all servicemen, past and present, they take the leap. Well worth watching.

Andrew — Thu, 10 Jan 2013 12:50:47 +0000

The Red Bull Air Force flying a stacked wingsuit formation, training for the “upcoming” IMAX film, Human Flight 3D. A lot of us have been waiting patiently for this flick to hit the big screen, and it’s been a while since any new information has been released, but Red Bull has issued this statement: “Human Flight 3D the movie will be released spring/summer 2013. A definite date will be announced early 2013.” Fingers crossed. C’mon Red Bull, you sent a man into the Stratosphere… let’s make this happen!

Past To Present: Jetman Flies With Iconic Aircraft

Melanie Curtis — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 12:50:44 +0000

Wow, what better way to celebrate aviation than by pushing our boundaries within it. Yves “Jetman” Rossy flies his wing in close formation with pilot Nigel Lamb in an iconic aircraft — the Spitfire MH434. Various angles really tell the story from take-off to landing for both pilots. Amazing footage to watch for any skydiver, or any lover of aviation in general.

If there’s anyone who knows how to organize and film wingsuit formations, then slice up a sexy video edit, it’s Jarno Cordia of Fly Like Brick. Lots of great footage from the 2011 Flock & Dock event at Z-Hills in Florida. I also recommend checking out Fly Like Brick’s aerobatic wingsuit flying.

Wingsuit Flying… At Night… On Fire

Melanie Curtis — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 11:52:55 +0000

Some pretty spectacular footage of wingsuit flyers doing a night jump during Summerfest 2011 at Skydive Chicago… not only for killer video and pics, but for all the boogie-goers to see and enjoy. Super cool. Amazing what a couple of mega-sparkler canisters can do in the night sky. Check out this other night jump at Summerfest, but with a lot more fire in the sky.

This was the vertical wingsuit record attempt at Skydive Carolina in September 2011. Although it was the largest vertical wingsuit formation flown so far, it’s an unofficial record because the USPA doesn’t have a category for vertical formations yet. Photo by Richard Schneider.

Exploring The Blue Skies: Life In A Wingsuit

Andrew — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 12:07:16 +0000

What’s it like traveling from dropzone to dropzone, exploring the blue skies and living life in a wingsuit? That’s the life of Richard Schneider, and he put together an awesome collection of his journey – from Skydive Elsinore in California, Skydive City (aka Z-Hills) in Florida, Skydive Mesquite in Nevada and Vega Baja in Puerto Rico. It’s a tough life, but someone’s gotta do it.
