music from Crosswind video (2001)

[pchapman 279]

I've noticed from a skydiver discussion on facebook that the classic skydiving video Crosswind has shown up on YouTube in a few places.

I still like the music from it -- and the associated skydiving images that come to mind with the music -- so the music from the video has been ripped and posted as a torrent.

The sometimes odd voice narration has been edited out with reasonably decent crossfades so one has individual, music-only tracks. Doing so may have been a bit of a waste of time in this era of abundant free-ish music, but those tracks are still good ones.

(Indeed, all the stories say the later DVD version changed music from the VHS version because some of it had been too close to music from more well known bands.)

While the last threads on dz about Crosswind are over a decade old, some of the skydiving on the video is still quite good. While two way over-unders on wingsuits are dull, the swoops, smoke jumps, and freeflying through an RW star were still nicely filmed, and the RW BASE jumps are still impressive.
