We are new parents who like to jump out of airplanes for fun. This channel features skydiving videos, family vlogs, random tech reviews, maybe some video editing, and generally whatever we want to put on here. We are super interested in learning how to sail and maybe living on a sailboat one day.

going going back back to mile hi (skydiving)
We're just trying to stay current right now while the kids are young. It's difficult, but when we're able to make it out for a jump - we really enjoy it! It's almost like being back in AFF again.
Anyway, after 5 months of not jumping, plus the added difficulty of having my same size canopy but at 7000 ft density altitude - I was nervous about the landing. It's fast.
BUT I really like the way my canopy flies at this wing loading, harness turns feel really intuitive, and the body-canopy connection is really quite something!
Man, I love this sport.

Colorado Hail Storm 2023! - plus Bison Peak hike in the Lost Creek Wilderness
zhlédnutí 146Před 10 měsíci
I know it's been a minute since the last video - been busy with kids, getting this house together, the occasional skydive where I forgot to turn the GoPro on, and other stuff. We went through the nastiest hailstorm I've ever seen. The piece of hail I picked up had been melting for like 15 minutes. Some were the size of door knobs, and neighbors measured some that were 1.5 inches! Absolutely ins...

GoPro Hero 11 Black for Skydivers?
zhlédnutí 1,4KPřed rokem
I pulled the trigger on the new GoPro. There are a lot of new features in this bad boy that I am going to appreciate like: • 10-bit color • 5.3k over capture • new 8:7 sensor vs 4:3 (captures more of the jump) • Hypersmooth 5.0 Is it worth upgrading? If you're going to use the new features, yes. If you're still shooting in 1080p30 - nah, just don't.

We finally made it to Out of the Blue Skydiving in Limon, Colorado for a quick jump - we've been super busy since moving to Colorado but as always NO, we're not gonna stop skydiving. Come on! Anyway - OOTB had a great group of people, super fast aircraft, and a fun friendly atmosphere. We'll be about an hour away in our new house and want to get a popup camper so we can hangout for entire weeke...

You Need a Reservation to Drive Up Pikes Peak?!

Well, we found out the hard way you actually need a reservation to drive to the top of Pikes Peak. Even folks who have lived here for years were surprised, but I suppose with the population explosion in Colorado, it's to be expected!

We're Leaving Sebastian
zhlédnutí 472Před rokem
We made the difficult decision to leave Sebastian and move back to Colorado! We're packing up everything into a Pod and driving across the country. It's not that we don't like it here - we love it. But this move is going to be what's best for our family. And we love it in Colorado too.
Why I've Been GoPro'ing All Wrong (4:3 vs 16:9)
zhlédnutí 17KPřed rokem
Guys. I haven't been using the GoPro's full sensor when skydiving, and it turns out I've been missing out on a lot. Here are my updated GoPro settings. I shoot on a Hero 7 Black, but this applies to all the newer GoPros as well. And I'm probably going to upgrade to the Hero 11 this fall - but man I wish GoPro would come out with an HDR sensor this year! I'd be the biggest fanboy.
Amber's Recurrency 2022
zhlédnutí 773Před rokem
Finally! After 13 months of no sky dates, we finally got Amber recurrent and jumped together. I have to say, I can fly so much easier with Amber than anyone else. We have, I dunno, a buncha jumps together and I find it so easy to just fly right next to her, compared to someone I've never jumped with before. It's really cool to be able to share this sport with someone you love. It's like going o...

Being Pregnant During the Time of COVID
I was inspecting better, I didn't see the logic I prefer to just see the The regular after to go and see the originals Firework
I still use super old digital compact camera, a Nikon A100 and the sensor is 5.152 x 3.864 (4:3) which is 20MP and more then enough.. Pictures look stunning in the original aspect ratio! In this mode the camera also has the option to record pictures with less compression and higher Quality.. 😀
Yess. This is how you do it.. Always use the full sensor 😀 And then crop it and chop it (if you want to) However 4:3 Videos get more and more poplar and just stand out..
Who would have known AB de Villiers had a Channel and loved skydiving.
If you don't jump a T-10 you have not lived.
I feel I deserve your certificate for use towards the purchase of a new container as I am a new skydiver (Sep 2023 earned my A and I have completed 30 jumps so far, one at a host dz). I'm 59 y.o. and am saving for a container/harness system. At the rate I'm able to save it is going to take two years. I need my own gear soon. I got into skydiving as my dad was airborne in the U.S. Army during Korea and had jumped 1,900 times. I'm retired U.S. Navy and flew onboard the P-3 airplane, having to practice putting on an emergency parachute but never needed to use one. Hearing my dad's stories intrigued me, but I was always afraid to jump. He passed away a few years ago, but I know he is looking down at me enjoying the same thrill he did. I will DEFINITELY use the certificate to purchase new gear that fits me and I will gladly and proudly share pics and videos withbyou or on your channel of me and my new gear that you helped make possible. Please, help a new skydiver continue diving, but with new gear that you helped make possible. Les
In my drop zone is only 50 jumps
Why did the high-pullers not know themselves, that they should have jumped last?
"Promo sm"
NO CRYBABIES ALLOWED, quit making our sport look bad crybaby.....
CLEARLY, YOU have the wrong attitude to have anything to do with aviation.
@@sailorman8668 I'm DZM with 10,000 skydives I can have an opinion about my life duh...
Good content, thanks ‼️
I hate people that want to go make the jump with you and then don't even realize what we're doing when we get in the air and then you're doing all fucking crazy shit. Not cool
I love the onscreen altimeter , awesome vid. Blue skies!
YESSS UR BACK!! I really like ur videos :)
Glad to see you both are back in the sky!
so glad to have you back! hope you are doing well. excited for more videos in the future!!
I so understand your reality hahaha!
Yep... I also understand the reality. It's called less jumps related to childrens happiness :)
It’s the day we’ve all been waiting for! Glad you’re back in the sky (I was gonna ask for your rig since you seemed to not need it…😂)
Welcome back...you were missed
Thank you for the tip. Its my new favorite setting. What post editing software do you use?
I use Final Cut Pro. However I am interested in getting more into the GoPro Player and reelsteady - using their editor you canuse the GPS/accelerometer data from the camera to stabilize the video in post-production.
I just moved to Colorado Springs and the weather had been crazy
Howcome they dont do a bilateral surgery It would save you a second operation? If the nurse was attractive i wouldnt mind being shaved awake
I asked and they said they wouldn't do it. But that the second hernia would go at some point, which it did in 2022 - had a second surgery in February of 2022. I did not find the dude attractive, so it was a bit awkward when he took a buzzer to my pubes lol
Hello bud, I didn’t see what was wrong with the exit that you said you bricked, what was the issue?
I went head down and got low on the formation
thanks for the low-down@@PernDog
Hi Mark, I like your videos, and I wanted to see if you could help me with something, I'm a skydiver and I'm about to start using a camera, but I can't decide whether to go for a gopro 11 or a 360 camera like the insta 360, do you have any opinion on this? Thank you! Greetings from Argentina
Ounce for ounce the GoPro is still the best action cam out there. The Insta 360 X3 has the same resolution as the GoPro 11, but it's spread out over 360 degrees, whereas the GoPro is spread out over 120 degrees. The GoPro is going to look way sharper. Plus, you can record in 10-bit color, high-speed framerates are better on the GoPro, and the sensor is taller. When you record in 4k 8:7, you're capturing full 4k images but they're much taller. So for skydiving it's my preference because I can capture so much more in the frame and edit what I want in post. Capturing in 360 sounds amazing but I really don't like the "small earth" look that a lot of videos use. I prefer the video to look as natural as possible.
Many thanks for sharing! I just started to use my gopro 11 last week so it's good to know. I checked with the Quik app preview mode and the top and bottom is cut if I switch from 16:9 to 4:3, crazy stuff... the area covered with 4:3 wide is matching with 16:9 superview just with much less distorsion. I'm so grateful, thank you so much!!
On the H11B I'm shooting in 8:7 for skydiving and other action, but go to 16:9 for anything handheld. It really captures an insane height and you don't have to worry so much about camera position - then adjust it while editing.
@@PernDog Thanks for the additoonal info! I’m windsurfing, I will try 8:7 too. It was soo wierd I can barely see my foot on the video with 45% tilted camera and looking down in superview.. Thanks again!
Super tough spot to be in. I dont know any skydivers who would have taken ride down. I dont think your group is at fault. CRW dogs are larger cultprit. Who is ever gonna challenge the crusty, nasty, kooked out CRW dogs, I wouldnt.
I did a level 1 AFF there back in 92 when it was called Front Range Skydiving
WE THOUGHT U DIEDD
Nah haven't expired yet and don't plan to anytime soon!

What will be the best workflow to edit a footage like this ?
The workflow I use is pretty basic, but it's working for me. I got the new GP11 and use the "natural color" setting so I don't have to use any LUTs. I do a basic color correction for the entire clip - set white balance and drop the shadows for better contrast. I simply drop the clip into a 16:9 project, and then use the position adjustment to set each clip to the framing that I want. Then I apply an adjustment layer for sharpening. I also have a basic audio adjustment for GoPro sound, especially if there's any voice. It reduces noice and then adds a bit of top end for clarity. The new GoPro really does a stellar job with audio and video quality. I need to update my skydiving settings but haven't been jumping much lately!
Is this just for helmet mounts? What if you mount your GoPro to your chest or shoe? I can't image a camera on your shoe getting tagged in your lines. But I'm not a skydiver (yet). Would love to know an experts thoughts on this.
It's for jumping with a camera, period, mounted anywhere. The reasoning is since skydiving is such a high-sensory sport, you want to develop the right sequence of procedures, safety checks, and emergency procedures before introducing turning on a camera and thinking about getting the shot. Jump run happens fast, so you want to make sure you practice emergency procedures, check each others gear, get a proper spot and separation between groups - not worry about grabbing the best still for social media. Not all dropzones honor this but 200 jumps is a solid guideline set by the USPA.
Nice you used sebastian...such a gorgeous spot.. I will be there sundayyyyy
This was a solid video, production wise. Just bought a custom Sabre 3. Start making videos again
the drop zones I've been to that had CRW gave them their own pass. They will get out higher than a hop and pop, but well below 10k when four way teams get out (again on their own pass). High pull was considered something else where you get out last after the wing suits (unless you are trying XRW I guess)
Early in the video, you made a shout out to Monte. Didn’t he used to work at Perris?
I’ve rappelled out of a helicopter in Iraq. I’ve been pilot in command of a Cessna 162. Now I’m unable to fly for medical reasons so I figured I’ll just jump out. First jump is in two days and I can’t friggin wait.
I'm going this weekend for the 1st time. I have only jumped Mile Hi (64 jumps), and I am ready for a change.

So your not a sky god hope you got grounded and by the way those shades do fuck all for you
How can you not know the difference between 'your' and 'YOU'RE'?
That was 20 seconds of information crammed 7 minutes 😅
Soo true!! It’s only scary in the plane and as soon as you exit, it goes away and you realize how awesome life really is and is the best feeling ever! Yes it’s an adrenaline rush but much much more than that. I highly recommend it. Push through the fear and you’ll be grateful you did 🤘🏻
Doing my second full day with Dan next Wednesday….still a work in progress. Thanks for posting.
Hope you had a good time!
Thanks, AB de villiers
thx
Hot air balloons are so cool :)
I plan on getting my class A license soon. Of course I worry about something going wrong but when I read most deaths are from experienced jumpers pushing the limits or just getting complacent.
