Norman Kent is skydivings best aerial cinematographer and has worked on films such as DropZone and Get Smart. I know a lot of us jump with cameras but this video will certainly add some incite on why its so important to have experience and proper knowledge before jumping with a camera and will also give you some tips on how to do it safely.

I've been cooking something up in the loft this weekend! I'm happy to announce we are making Mudflap Altimeter Mounts!! Ideal for Wingsuiting,CrW and other disciplines! For right now it is only compatible with the Altimaster III Galaxy but over time it will become available for Neptunes and hopefully most L&B products. Available in black, white and blue. It's available for $15+ Shipping.

Well Everyone, with the cold winter months upon us, here is something that each one of us can do to maybe help ease the tension of not jumping and keep us familiar with packing and our gear. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=da56gEoQrUQ

This is my new idea. Who can guess what it is?! The top skin is ZP and the bottom skin is made from a low permeability, low bulk nylon fabric.

Bill Booth and UPT (formally known as Relative Workshop) have been pioneering equipment in the sport of skydiving for many years, from the 3 Ring Release to the Throw Out Pilot Chute and now with the Skyhook System. Some may not have heard of the Meshless Reserve Pilot Chute so I have attached a clip below, this idea is brilliant and has sparked a bit of an idea of my own. Enjoy! http://vimeo.com/m/110249963
