AggieDave 6 #4 August 10, 2012 However this is one of my all time favorites! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPkYkfZw4c0 That's real swoopers doing real swooping.

runningman 0 #7 August 10, 2012 https://vimeo.com/31140586 Probably my favorite skydiving video of all time. Can't even count the hours I've spent watching it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TampaPete 48 #8 August 10, 2012 You beat me to it. That’s my favorite by far. And this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6klvGVtw-HA And remember, that was his first ever jump. By himself, no AFF instructor. Out the door solo on jump number 1. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Divalent 136 #11 August 10, 2012 It's not skydiving, but rather wingsuit proxy flying. Although I will never do this, it was probably the thing that got me to enroll in AFF course. http://vimeo.com/18150336 (Note: two of the flyers featured in this video, Ted Rudd and Mirko Schmidt, died last year in separate wingsuit base accidents.)

rss_v 0 #15 August 10, 2012 Good thread, but my main complaint about most skydiving videos, and no doubt most other "cool" sport videos, is that the producers nearly always see fit to cut between scenes at every available music beat. It gets to the point where you might as well be looking through an album of stills, you hardly see anything happen in each shot before it flicks to something else. It can be really good to see longer sequences and flights, instead. At least it's not as bad as the hopefully dead practice of showing the first four seconds of an exit, then running it backwards so they return to the plane, then go out again. And back in again.

craigbey 0 #17 August 10, 2012 Or skip the music completely. There are many videos that simply don't need the music or worse -- the music covers the raw sound of the environment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #18 August 10, 2012 Quote Looks like Eagle Flight in Granbury, TX.... Close, those were some outlaw jumps in the city of Hearne "regional" airport Hearne, TX, the only place in history to have a Wal-Mart close due to rampant employee theft. Also, Granbury was developed and the old landing area, pea pit and beacon are gone. Eagle Flight was bought and sold a few times then moved to Hillsboro to become I-35.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

tyro 0 #23 August 10, 2012 It's both wingsuit and base (neither of which I do) and they cheat by using music to make it seem cooler (same as in the movies) but this is pretty gnar :) http://vimeo.com/45779572 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
