- If you asked me why I skydive, this is the closest thing to an answer that I could give you. These are some of my skydiving memories mostly from this past year. Please share it if you like it. Thank you to everyone that has been part of my time in the sky.

I remember being 16 years old watching this video every single day wishing to be a skydiver and sometimes crying from the impotence of not being able to jump because of the money. Now 8 years later, I'm on my 70th jump. Thanks for motivating me.
Same with my life bro. Impossible is nothing!
Blue skies 🤙🏼
Hell yeah.
I maxed out two credit cards in 97. I had a bit of a jumping problem. The cards wrecked my credit but now I have jumped into some of the most secure air space in the US outside of area 51, some of my friends are the best in the world. What I am saying is the sport paid me back in ways money never could have gotten me
Guy, i had the same story, sick brother❤
I love this comment so much. I first saw this in 2015 and now I'm almost 500 jumps in. My only regret is that I didn't start sooner!
1:10 - Best scene!!!
How could anyone not want to do this?
Steven Loxham Waited 46 years to do it, one of the most amazing, Zen like experiences of my life.
The answer is simple, in time, after a few thrills are over, longevity begins to look very appealing! In short, most people grow up! But some never do.
@Cersei Simpson Spoken like the first to buy bread and milk before a storm that never shows up. You will die, that is a fact. Will you live? Yet to be seen.
I'm afraid of falling. But I will get out of my comfort zone and do this someday.
@@user-wj5ox3so5x Don't worry about falling... It's the sudden stop at the end that will get cha.😬
"Why do you want to jump from a plane?"
"Because the sky doesn't have rules.You think we are free but the truth is we are locked in a cage with stupid problems about money or politics etc. I want to jump because I want to fly. Because I want to feel free"
That will always be my answer :)

Lef D lets go to skydive :)
Absolutely one of the best skydiving videos! So much fun!!
Today I did my first skydive, along with a professional, from 4000 meters height. I got it as a gift for my 20th Birthday. All thanks to you Dexter Marcelino, this video truly inspired me and without it I wouldn't had experienced the adrenaline, fun and beauty of our planet. Thank You!
Last year I did a tandem jump and after that I watched your video dozens of times. Then, back in August I began my AFF course and in April I finished my license. Thank you so much for the inspiration! Blue skies & happy landings! 🤘
Me too. I’ve watched this so many times after my second tandem. AFF booked in a few months. Thank you for the nudge 🪂🤙
Me too! Watched your video countless times and made my license. Thank you so much!! It’s an awesome sport with amazing people!
The video and music is a perfect blend.
That song Actually got me high
Nothing beats flying through the clouds!
Waow !
It's just amazing...
the most beautiful skydive video i ever saw...thank you so much for that special moment...tears in my eyes...dont stop ever...
+Mrs Crowley one day we fly honey ;)
humans are awesome
missgebr0 t sloths are better
You won’t even believe how many times I have watched this over the years..
It's been a decade, one of my first Favorited videos and I still love it!!
Beautiful!
It's been over 25 years since my last jump, and the sport has come such a long way since then. But the memories remain.
Thank you for this magnificent video!
I see youve gotten back into it! great to see
A comment from 9 years ago telling about 25 years off last jump, then recent videos skydiving. Cheers!
When I turned 13 i saved all my money to do a tandemjump. Now I'm 14 and next month I'll jump again! My parents say it's money waste but it's just so beautiful, everyone should try this.
Edit; for the people who live in a country where you have to be 18, it's real. I live in the Netherlands and it doesn't matter how old you are. You and your parents need to sign a contract when you're younger than 18 though.
Yllen Ykema Do the AFF and you will understand why tandem is a waste... hehe guess what, you parents were right...
Raphael Lages
Oh god yes please! Need to wait 2 years, but yeah I'll work next year and save money for the lessons. Hope my parents agree with it. And even tho the tandemjumps are expensive, they're worth it. It's amazing!
Yllen Ykema I hope you enjoy your second jump even more than your first. Just keep jumping!
Yllen Ykema I'm jumping for my first time in some month and i will make the lessons for the pass very soon
Yllen Ykema You usually have to be over 16 to go skydiving..
Back in 2015 i did my skydiving licence and had 10 jumps. I was already a plane pilot and skydiving was the ice on the cake. Sadly, i went though a lot in my life soon after and became addicted to drugs. I spent all my money, all my savings, everything and even lost one eye during a drug inducted stroke. It took me 3 years to get out of this situation with now 30 kg to lose. I'm not a plane pilot anymore and i'll never be due to my bad sight. But when i see this video, like when i saw it almost 10 years ago, the passion is still there. The motivation to become healthy again and maybe one day jump inside a pilatus again. Looking the clouds approaching, smelling the plane kerosene again, approach the door and litteraly jump into my new life. Soon i'll accomplish this again, but trust me... i'll never stop. I don't even know if you are still active Dexter but if you are : Thanks for the motivation.
You're the reason why I start with the parachuting.
Thank you for your incredible good video. :)
pls. make more video´s ;))))
Just did my first AFF last week, came to search for skydiving videos after it. It was amazing, I wanna do more. Stressed out like hell before the jump, but a sensation nothing like it after the jump. I wanna get back on that airplane and go through all AFF levels. I'm frustrated that I didn't discover it earlier, I'm almost 35 and wasted like 15 years of skydiving opportunities...
+thePRFCNM how many times have you jumped?
I don't jump. I am hoping to do my 1st tandem jump in a couple of weeks. I admire skydivers and unsure if I could ever do jumps on my own. :)
non
I’m 44 and just started skydiving last year. I’m on AFF jump 3 now on my way to get my license. It’s never too late. I found my peace and I found my people. Blue Skies 🤘
Skydiving is f***ing awesome!! Awesome video!
1:39 Like literally i've never seen someone hows that cool "Oh wow, its a bit cold outside,should have bough some gloves ...".I (would) love (to try) Skydiving
Just watching this makes my palms go sweaty.
This video gives me chills and makes me smile so hard, these guys are living the life!
I come back to this video every single year, 2020 has me coming back every month.
YES! even if im just listening to this video cause i know its skydiving i still click back to watch that part. glad im not the only one!
looks absolutely beautiful from up there
Especialy above those clouds
damn, the best skydiving photo of internet is on 6:24, EPIC
HELL yeah!
YEAH I WAS LIKE NO WAY! Famous even 5 years later....
original.
where
I was dreaming about beeing a skydiver when I was 14 y/o and 13 years later, I can say I'm in the skydive family since 2 years now, got 70 jumps and it's always an amazing experience to jump off a plane... this video almost made me cry, it represents so well the "'why I skydive"... thank you so much for the video !
Did my first jump today! It was amazing, no words.
Hopefully one day I can get to this level. :)
well its been 6 years anything?
Those all black helmets/facemasks look badass! Gotta get one of those someday.
There's something about skydiving like this that gives me some sense of true freedom. There's only you and the sky. No war, no problems, no burdens...just sky and peace. Thanks for showing me this message.
Really - ...words weak. Amongst the clouds in big blue sky, the only place true answers lie!
I´d really like do this some day!
I cann't tire of watching this video...
someday Ill do it...
2:16 looked like they were in the heavens
yeah you got line twists but don't lose my tennis ball! lol
5:45 Bye-bye GoPro
:) kkkkkk
.
What is this camera? Do you know?
Did anyone else notice the close call at 6:03?
I thought you weren't able to fall through clouds.
***** Haha sarcasm at its finest. I knew someone would do that haha. But I ask this because i am currently in an AFF training course to be certified in skydiving, and according to some rules and regulations they sayyour not allowed to fall through clouds because you never know what is beneath the cloud like another diver, or plane.
***** Its all good man it gave me a laugh haha. But yea the AFF is going good, thank for askin. Its just annoying sometimes because they wont let students jump under certain weather conditions so sometimes i cant jump when i want to, otherwise its great! Cant wait till i can go jump on my own whenever i feel like it.
Alex Mazza Oh wow that is good to know thank you Alex. also thanks for the good luck i appreciate it bro.
Alex Mazza Yea absolutely, if we further our knowledge about the sport then it will only get more safe for everyone.
Hunter Wow that sounds great, its cool you have a wind tunnel at your convenience, i wish i could try one of those out im sure they're great practice. But good for you man keep a focused mind and you'll be fine through out the AFF.
Soooo beautiful 😍😍😍😍😍
Cannot wait to go again and start skydive on my own!
How many times have you watched this video? Im at about 50.
cranester386 Hey do you skydive yourself?
I'm at about countless! 😀
This is my fav SD video ever and I think always will be,! ❤
the music makes it seem even more surreal
Personally, I can never do skydiving.
It will scare me half to death.
No. Go to tandem jump. No scare. Only normal breath and relax. Instructor do all for your flight. Belive me, there are no scare.Only enjoy, adrenalin rush and chill on colorful sky!
Go and jump with instructor. Yout life will do U turn!
one of the best skydiving vids i have seen so far.After seeing this, i cant wait to pass my AFF !!! Gratz
The picture at the end is so freaking awesome
2:09, your shoe is untied lol. awesome video
Came back constantly, still one of the best skydivevideos so far 👍🏼
this is the best skydiving video ....EVER
Great production that puts you in the moment. Thank you and peace
This is easily one of my favorite CZcams videos. Great job, Dexter! Brilliant perspectives,,, Plz post more soon =)
human airplanes!!!! the real super hero's...i cant wait to do this!!!! looks like its so much fun especially with your crew or circle of love/true and real friends!!
I saw this video 9 years ago. It inspired me to this day to someday get my skydiving license. Im on it. Thanks for the video, Dexter. I hope you made good memories in the last 10 years.
Got crazy all over body tingles just watching that sunset flyby. brings all those feelings back i had when jumping. well done!
2:05 like a dead space. Perfect music for perfect video.
I remember seeing this video before i started skydiving last year and was really excited . After watching it again i now appreciate it even more!!!, words cannot describe, great video dude. Blue Skies.
One of my favorite videos on the internet. So glad this exists
Beautiful video, smiles on all their faces. Can't wait until I can do it.
It's inspiring to know that these experiences are possible, so thank you for sharing.
Gives me the chills every time! Great video!
Beautiful
This is just insanely beautiful. Awesome
Thanks for the beautiful video... there's no way to describe that flood of joy and exhilaration when you step over that threshold from the plane into the sky. I've done tandem twice & have a third jump lined up, but wondering if I should take a step further & learn to solo? I think I'm addicted. 💗💗
mojo6077 After 2 tandems, just ask your DZ about the next step. Of you are addicted you should do it!! Best feeling ever!
i just started skydiving, had my first solo jumps today! i love the passion i feel while watching this video now. thank you and blue skies! 🤙🏻
Im just a student but i got the chance once to jump with the german freefly champions. Besides it was nearly impossible for me to stay near them, they gave me an awsome show. Back on the ground i knew why they where always smiling...
Speed and performance! Camera work? GREAT!
awesome! blue skies
I love skydiving. After a long 2 weeks of being stuck on a rig, its the first thing I do right when I'm off:-)
A Ballet in the clouds to an incredible violinist. Very nice work
First jump Sunday at 9am SkyDive Dallas! Tandem for my first ride. So stoked! I haven't been able to stop watching this beautiful video! Love the dub you threw in here as well. Thanks for sharing this!
im taking the skydiving class in 2 weeks so excited, to jump and meet new people in my area that jump as well. Awesome video. so far one of my favorites.
My dad was Skydiving in 1966, My Mom Skydived in the same period (I still have their chutes). My first skydive was in 1982 (Parris Valley) with a 28 foot 7TU (round chute) at 16 years old and fell in love with it. it's been 18 years since my last jump (a lot went wrong with that jump) strangely that was my favorite jump because I had no fear. I had lots of time (everyone on the ground thought I would Bounce) and I worked the problem while checking my Alt. I'm now a 53-year-old disabled veteran with 18 years service living in Wisconsin and just wish I had friends who skydived (and the money to do it often) because it's an experience that sticks with you. it's been long enough that I would have to go through AFF to do it again (making it even more costly, and unaffordable to me). but I sure do miss it, and always will.
AMAZING!!!! VERY BEAUTIFUL
M sitting here and feeling it in my spines
I came across this video while searching for some way to explain to someone why I love skydiving so much, thank you!
This video... This is incredible. Awesome. This feeling. I don't know. I'm young, but I hope I can do it one time.
Looks absoltutely AWESOMEEE
Great video with great music. Cool stunts in the sky and beautiful shots in the sky as well
Exelente video muchicimass graciasss
Flying High and care free, it's releasing. Dancing in the sky.
For such moments worth to live !
Awesome video, last shot or closing frame AWESOME!
Absolutely love your video! Give me chills
Such an amazing video...just wow!
Wonderful!!!!
Has made me massivley want to sky dive!
Finally, some music that doesn't hurt the ears and distract from the beautiful video! I can't jump, I have had acrophobia from earliest childhood, but I became a GA pilot to help overcome it, and it helped, but I'll never really lose that fear. I feel so free when I'm flying a plane but no sky-diving for me! I bungee-jumped a few times, but as you age, longevity begins to look pretty appealing! I saw a guy stream out once when I was at the airport watching jumpers, there was a flight instructor next to me watching, and when he saw that, he threw down his binoculars and walked off. I watched. I'll never forget it as long as I live! Being medical personnel, I ran to help, but if was no use. Very sad.
I always thought if GHW Bush could tandem-jump at age 90, so could anyone, even me! But when I was younger, I took chances, but now, no more!
I lived by the ocean and dived, that was also a kind of freedom, but I moved, so no more diving. I ski in the mountains and feel a sense of freedom but no Xtreme skiing for me off cliffs, etc.! Now age 90 looks good, I hope I get there some day!
I performed many jumps in the military and I’ll tell you, I miss it to the point I have tears in my eyes.
But skydiving is definitely in my bucket list. 🙌🏾🙏🏾🦾🇵🇷
The patachuting Is fantastic
after 2 years watching this video, i still think the best part is the sequence at 6.13, the moves are just GREAT!
your video is awesome, ive watched it at least 100 times if not more, keeps me going through the Winter!
I'm signing for my AFF soon! Can't wait!!
this might be my favorite video on youtube
Honestly watching this video almost brings me to tears everytime. Pure emotion. Sensory overload at its finest. I just got my aff and have 13 dives so far. I was scared at first, but anything is possible my friends! Never give up!
How many jumps seven years later? 😜
I was just going to ask same question ☝🏼😀
@@alinenunes1102 Covid, life, and injuries have kept me out of the sport for the past few years but I have 245. Itching to get back in the sky!
@@comcast831
We’re the injuries skydiving related?😬
@@comcast831 Is it hard to claim the AFF? Like are there actually a bunch of people failing for it? Thank you!
5:25 Best part. PHYSICS
Dexter marcelino damm its been 4 year. Wow. I remember looking at this vid back in those days dreaming about skydiving no 4 years later and 300 jumps. Thank. U. U are big motivation. Wen are u coming back to Lodi. I would like to jump with. U
My father made 6000 jumps at skydive Opelika in Tuskegee, where the historical Tuskegee airmen trained.... I am 18 now and I have made 3 tandems, I cannot wait till next spring to start jump school and get my license, I have been saving up my money, and I honestly cannot contain my excitement, blue skies!
all the love from Canada
How much will you save? I also want.
@@adzespinas5155 you need around $2800 for an AFF program, that will get you the A license. Add to that flight tickets, food, hotel, rent a cart, and any other expenses needed
Makes it a lot easier to have parents that know how to have fun. My family is full of lame asses that just work full time and sit in front of the tube
Go, good for you. I have one tandem and want to continue. :D blue skys
Has anyone else got goosebumps? amazing video
