“Red Bull” is ironic because bulls are aggravated by the color red?
No one likes carrying around an umbrella. And hipsters are about the only people that don’t loathe the rain, so precipitation is pretty much a lose-lose situation for a majority of the world. But despite this universal hatred of getting a little harmless water on your clothes, the umbrella’s design hasn’t been updated since the 1800s. Well the Air Umbrella does away with nylon canopies and bothersome steel rib contraptions prone to breaking when you need them the most. (more…)
Coming from years of testing and personal experience, I’ve come to the conclusion that people, in general, just won’t listen to you. Most are too dumb to understand the complexities or even simplicities of what you are saying and the rest are usually waiting for their turn to talk. So what’s the solution to such a widespread epidemic? Visual aids. I’ll be the first to tell you meetings and presentations are one pie-chart short of giving me a mental breakdown, but the second someone brings out the projector I’m all ears. (more…)
Every day it seems a new video comes out exemplifying some new up-and-coming unknown flyers. Where were these individuals two months ago? Would’ve been nice to spread them out. Anyways, a few of these B.A.S.E jumpers got together in Lusebotn, Norway and decided to film a movie to document their aerial adventures. They felt the need to share the experience of what they called “3D Human Flight”. (more…)
Surfing is just about the only sport with a following as passionate as the one for skydiving. When you think about it, they’re both pretty similar. The act of a wingsuiter gliding on air while thrusting forward is comparable to a surfer’s board as it’s being carried by the water. Combine the two and you get the best of both worlds. (more…)
Normally when one makes a demo to showcase their talents, its in the area of music. To our knowledge, Corliss isn’t in a band; the closest thing to such a group would be his involvement with Team Turbolenza. Nevertheless, our skymaster compiled footage of several of his jumps dating back all the way to 2002. I find it incredibly amusing that his video is set to the song “Paint it Black”, seeing as how he only flies in black. (more…)
Every sport’s gotta have their gear. Recreational football players and amateur Lebron James imitators have the luxury of being able to head over to sporting goods stores and buy whatever equipment they need. Unfortunately wingsuiting isn’t yet as casual as throwing around with friends or getting a pick-up game together. It’s not like you can drive to the same place you purchase LJ’s shoes and ask for “The Jeb Corliss Wingsuit” in a size medium. (more…)
Don’t take offense Corliss and Daisher, you know all of your wingsuiting adventures are still the number one “epic flights”. But we gotta mention other big players every once in a while. Kirby Chambliss is an expert American aerobatics pilot who, like Daisher, is sponsored by Red Bull. He participates in numerous air races and has won both the 2004 and 2006 Red Bull Air Race World Series. Developing his skills from a young age, he began flying at 12 and by 24 was the youngest commercial pilot to fly for Southwest Airlines. (more…)
Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Group, which includes Virgin Media and Virgin Mobile, has organized its airline companies: Virgin America, Virgin Atlantic, and Virgin Australia; to film the movie ‘Departure Date’. The movie was filmed on board Virgin flights at 35,000 feet above the ground and covered 3 continents and 28,000 flight miles. (more…)
