Neo-Champion: Amazing NeoFreestyle Tunnel Flying

Melanie Curtis — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 12:50:06 +0000

Talk about control with some truly unique flying positions. WOW. Watch Mikhail Razomazov’s winning routine in the NeoFreestyle event during the 2012 World Indoor Skydiving Championships at iFly Singapore (watch all of the highlights here). Mikhail combines some of the bigger, faster moves with new, nearly static flying, showing an impressive level of control and creativity in the air. He ends his routine by playing the most real air guitar I’ve ever seen… hahaa, yeah!

A stunning edit in super slow motion from Betty Wants In, an up-and-coming design studio who had the opportunity to work with Fred Fugen and Vince Reffett from Soul Flyers. The five-time world champion skydivers were invited to host a training camp at the Melbourne Skydive Centre earlier this year; the goal was to provide 3D coaching to Australia’s most talented skydivers. For all you video geeks out there, this was shot on a GoPro and produced using Twixtor at 1,000 frames per second (FPS).
