Aussie XRW: Slow Wingsuits, Fast Parachutes

Andrew — Thu, 09 May 2013 11:50:34 +0000

For the past year, a few Australian wingsuiters have been trying to fly like they had small canopies open. Meanwhile, canopy pilot Griggsy had been trying to fly his small speed machine from Icarus Canopies (by NZ Aerosports) like it was a wingsuit. Good times were inevitable and this is the end result. More XRW for your viewing pleasure.

Raise the Sky and Skydive Dubai present Project XRW: Dubai — an awe-inspiring film featuring the ultimate advanced mixed wingsuit-canopy flight. This world-class group of athletes fly an 11-way mixed flock, setting a new unofficial record; a 10-way vertical XRW flock; a three-stack of canopies with a wingsuiter docked underneath; side-by-side 2-stacks of canopies with wingsuiters docked underneath; and a Mr. Bill rodeo transfer. The team did it all to help make dreams come true for children in Raise the Sky’s Flying Dreams program in South Africa. Help sponsor a child today by clicking here!

Airplane vs. Parachutist

Here’s another kind of formation flying… this time with badass Red Bull Air Force aerobatic pilot, Martin Sonka, flying side-by-side with skydiver/parachutist, Petr Mestak. Martin holds the airplane in ever so slightly angled flight — much like a helicopter — right next to Mestak underneath his cross-braced parachute. Very impressive.

Just… Jump: A Life Of Flight With TJ Landgren

Andrew — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 12:53:39 +0000

World-class skydiver TJ Landgren was born to fly. As a child, he would jump off the roof of his house to pretend he could fly. Now he travels the world jumping out of planes, off cliffs, and everything in between — not to mention a few world records along the way. Thanks to The Aviator for putting together TJ’s year-end video.

B.A.S.E XRW: Wingsuit “Baton Pass” to Speedflyer

Andrew — Mon, 08 Oct 2012 12:37:33 +0000

More awesome BASE XRW from Barry Holubeck. He first started flying his wingsuit alongside a speed wing, but now they’re making things a little more interesting with a relay race baton pass (is that a can of shaving cream, sunscreen, or Easy Cheese??). Wingsuits and speedflyers. Flying. Together! OMGXRWFTW.

3 Minutes of Summer

Melanie Curtis — Tue, 05 Jun 2012 11:50:12 +0000

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.

Project XRW: Flying Dreams Over Skydive Sebastian

Melanie Curtis — Thu, 24 May 2012 11:50:03 +0000

Absolutely incredible footage from Project XRW of wingsuiters flying alongside parachutes over Skydive Sebastian. The PD Factory Team setting the canopy base, and the wingsuit pilots — organized by Taya Weiss — coming in to fly their slots. Amazing inside and outside footage of the whole thing. The exit shot of the wingsuit pilots… wow! COOL. The evolution of our sport before our eyes.

Project XXXRW: Parachutes, Planes and Wingsuits

Andrew — Wed, 02 May 2012 11:50:25 +0000

Now this is what I call a hot threesome: parachutes, planes and wingsuits all flying together in formation! You’ve likely seen some pretty cool XRW formations before, and an aerobatic airplane do barrel rolls around a wingsuit, so naturally the next step was to mash them together. I know I had you at “threesome,” but you’ll want to stick this one out ’til the end. Project XXXRW is skydiving porn at its best.

If you’re like most skydivers, you probably dream of “living the dream” in true skydiver fashion: where the bright blue skies or wind tunnel are your office. Check out AXIS Flight School members Niklas Daniel and Brianne Thompson playing around in their “office” over Skydive Arizona. LTD, baby!

XRW: Leave It To The Pros

Sydney Williams — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 11:50:59 +0000

Wingsuiting and canopy piloting at it’s finest. Combining the two (XRW) is complete badassery. In order to keep videos like this from going batshit scary and turning up on Friday Freakouts, don’t try this at home, kids. These guys are pros. Now check out the first-ever Project XRW by Raise the Sky… this stuff is pretty amazing.

B.A.S.E XRW: Wingsuit Meets Speedflyer

Andrew — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 12:50:40 +0000

Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland is the type of playground where big kids go to play. Beni and Barry are big kids, so naturally they had fun doing BASE XRW with Beni flying his Spitfire 6 and Barry flying his trusty Tony Suit X-Bird wingsuit.

New Skydiving Stunt: Mr. Bill To Wingsuit Rodeo

Andrew — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 13:00:18 +0000

What an awesome idea for a new skydiving stunt, and it was executed perfectly. According to Jhonathan Florez, this is the world’s first Mr. Bill transfer to wingsuit rodeo. Have you ever done a Mr. Bill or wingsuit rodeo?
