We’re still in November, but look at the shopping malls and it’s pretty evident we’re already in ‘Christmas mode’, and beyond that, the promise of a new year. And with that, thoughts of things to cross off your bucket list before checking out of this life. We’re talking skydiving here folks, as in Off Track [...]

This rocks and sucks at the same time. Keep reading though cause there’s a porn video at the end of this post.
Last week, a porn star who moonlights as a sky-diving instructor, Alex Torres, pulled one of the coolest stunts a guy could think of. He and his lovely co-worker, Hope Howell, had sex in [...]

Get ready, there’s a new dare devil on the block. And after seeing this ridiculous video, you’ve got yet another reason to ask Santa for a wing-suit this Christmas.
In the video, Corliss jumps off a helicopter and flies through a narrow crack in Tianmen mountain in China. You gotta see this one to believe it. [...]

I thought I’d seen it all.  I’ve blogged about wing-suits, kissing sharks, glacier surfing and plenty other neat ways to get your rocks off.  But this one takes the cake.
I’ve only seen this attempted once before, in that 1991 classic Point Break, aka the best movie of all time.  Evidently Travis Pastrana felt a little [...]

Get ready for some air time!  This video has some seriously amazing, if not demented jumping, from planes, ramps and things that make you go Boom! when you land.  You might recognize some of these jumps from some of my earlier blog posts.  There’s a bit of corporate plugging going on in a few stunts [...]

Then, at 102,800 feet, or 31,333 metres for us metric system devotees, he stepped OUT of the balloon gondola. What transpired for [...]

This one is just awesome, period.  Two skydivers jump from one plane to another – without a parachute.  Just listen  to the sound of the air whipping by in this video.  Amazing.  You didn’t actually think you need to go to an airport to transfer flights now, did you?

Long before Patrick Swayze made it cool to jump out of a perfectly good airplane with a bag o’ cash strapped to your chest, another extreme skydiver made the leap.  For those of you not familiar with the story, Dan Cooper, aka D.B. Cooper, hijacked a 727 in November of 1971 and demanded $200,000 in [...]

Some things just go together.  Olive oil and garlic, Rocky and Bullwinkle.  And, um, skydiving and kayaks.  You’re thinking, What has this guy been smoking?  The truth is, I spend way too much time surfing YouTube, and yes, I do need to get out more.  But this video is just epic.  I wonder if it [...]
