Photo Interview: Norman Kent | Zach Lewis
As a freefall videographer and photographer myself, it was a huge (and terrifying!) honor to get the opportunity to interview and photograph one of my idols in the sport.

High Jinks, Part XI | James L. Hayhurst

We Were on a Break | Melanie Curtis
Just like any relationship, our relationship with skydiving is ours to decide. Just like people, it can come into our lives for a reason, season or lifetime.
