Solaris Freestyle at World Skydiving Championships

Sydney Williams — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 11:50:44 +0000

Freestyle is 1,000 percent awesome. We know that seems a bit exaggerated, but the gentlemen of Solaris are quite talented. Gymnastics in the air while donning a top hat? Yup, that just happened. I remember seeing videos of Merriah Eakins when I first started skydiving and I was blown away by what was possible in the art of human flight. Grab a beer (even if it’s morning, I won’t judge) and kick back with Solaris’ sweet performances at the 2012 World Parachuting Championships at Skydive Dubai.

The Human Slingshot

What goes up must come down. The human slingshot at Skydive Dubai was a huge crowd-pleaser during the 2012 World Parachuting Championships. And I thought the human catapult at Bridge Day was cool. I want one of these for Christmas. What’s on your wish list?
