At first, the FlyBoyz present their team skills and draw incredible curves in the sky trailing smoke. Patrick Passe filmed the skydives from underneath to show the dynamic trajectories of the three freeflyers leaving behind them long tails of yellow smoke. The visual of this segment creates an amazing sensation of speed.
A Wing Suit segment will take the viewers on a magic ride with formation flight. The French skydiver Loïc Jean Albert, designer of this new model of wing suit, presents the ultimate way of flying it. In the heart of La Reunion Island, Loic exits a plane next to the edge of a 4 000 ft mountain to fly during 1 minute 30 seconds between 200 and 500 ft above the rocks edge before he gets back into a valley to have enough altitude to open his BASE parachute.
There is danger also when Bruno Brokken and Richie Hornig go for challenging swoop situations. Slicing the timeless waters beneath an ancient Spanish bridge, they decide on a rather more exciting approach not giving any chance for mistakes.
Above the desert of Arizona, the team Airspeed, two times 4 way RW World Champions, displays how to use the relative wind to fly at their best. During this segment, the camera presents a new vision of RW sequential flight. Airspeed members catch the wind in the most aggressive ways, looking often like Frisbees swirling in the air. Slow motion footage demonstrates the beauty of sequential flight.
Always in the warm sky of Arizona, Omar Alhegalan shows solid elegance, with his combination freefly, freestyle and back tracking. He demonstrates "the master" of the "head up" freefly position flying all around and relative to his Skyball. Omar becomes also an human wing by using the surface area of his back.
The next segment presents our fun in skydiving in New Zealand, one of the most scenic countries in the world. Wendy Smith takes the viewers through beautiful freefly and wing suit flights high above the Lake Taupo and its magic light of the summer time. Rickster Powell swoops through the lake´s volcanic plateau, between large rocks pushed up from beneath the earth, across the surface of this crystal water and piloting his high speed canopy inside narrow and bush covered volcanic ravines.
It is the first time Patrick Passe presents BASE-jumping. A group of highly experienced French base jumpers shows their extreme flying skills while launching a 4-way-star from the 3000 ft cliff Brento in Italy and building it into a diamond before separating and opening very low.
The final segment of CrossWind presents Olav Zipser flying like dolphins swim. Olav shows unique freeflying skills when he is playing radically with the Space Ball. But the father of the freefly becomes definitely an atmospheric dolphin when he is freeflying in and around a 10 way star with Sebastian XL 4 way team and friends. Olav opens a new gate in the sky by showing an incredible edge in freefly in a way never seen before.
