Our top 6 skydiving clips will blow your mind and get you ready to dive in yourself.

Red Bull Skydive course preview from the legendary ‘Streif’
As if it wasn’t amazing enough to speed up Strive on two tracks, Red Bull skydivers performed a very special track check in Kitzbühel!
From a purely technical point of view, the best downhill skiers in the Ski Circus may come close to flying when they speed down the legendary Streif. The starting house is located in Hahnenkamm at an altitude of 1665 metres. Within three seconds, skaters accelerate from 0 to 60 km/h, and later to more than 140 km/h. Without slides under their feet, but at a top speed of 250 km/h while wearing a wingsuit, the Red Bull skydiving team dared to undertake this hellish flight. The Mousetrap, the Hausbergkante or the steep slope – from these perspectives you have never seen the main passes of the Streif!

Another Coup by Max Manow, Marco Waltenspiel and Co. is the exciting trilogy “BlaniX File”. And if you have watched the third part, then you can safely skip the second part of “Top Gun”. At an altitude of 4,000 (!) metres, five wingsuit pilots effectively become interceptors of two gliders gliding upside down. Flying in formation, the sky acrobats from the Red Bull Skydive team came within a few centimeters of the two planes – sweet Hollywood!
