Video: Bluetopia - Adventure in the Blue Mountains of Australia

Posted by Unknown on Monday, December 22, 2014

If you needed more proof of the wonderful adventure opportunities that can be found in Australia, this video will certainly provided it. The 15-minue long short-film follows a group of friends as they travel two hours outside of Sydney to visit the amazing Blue Mountains, an outdoor playground that offers climbing, BASE jumping, trail running, camping, and more. The group captured some amazing shots of the beautiful landscapes there, while also experiencing all of the fantastic adventures that this place has to offer. The result is this fantastic video, which I think you'll enjoy as much as I did.

Video: BASE Jumper Completes First Wingsuit High-Five

Posted by Unknown on Friday, December 12, 2014

Wingsuit pilots continue to come up with some great stunts to add to their repertoire. In this video, we see one complete the first flying high-five in an effort to raise funds and awareness for the Project: BASE, an organization whose motto is "Human Flights for Human Rights." The organization is looking to raise funds for charitable endeavors, although looking at their website, it really isn't clear exactly what those endeavors entail. Still, they make a mean looking video, as you'll see below.

Video: Wingsuit Pilot on Close Proximity Flight

Posted by Unknown on Monday, December 8, 2014

It has been awhile since we've seen a really good wingsuit flight video. This one doesn't give us any shots of pilot Darren Burke, but instead gives us a good point-of-view perspective as he sails through the air. At first, it just features some nice images of a quiet flight, but at about the 45-second mark, Burke flies incredibly close to the ground, as we follow him on his descent. It is an adrenaline-inducing piece of work that will probably leave you feeling happy you're just watching it on video.
