Heli Skydiving in Colorado


Recommended Posts

Here are some photos from a fun skydiving event earlier this month. This was a demonstration jump by the GoPro Bomb Squad at the Beaver Creek Ski Resort in Colorado for the Birds of Prey World Cup downhill skiing finals. Helicopter is an Enstrom 480B, exit altitude 13,000MSL, parachute landing zone was a tight area at the finish line at the base of the mountain approx 8,500MSL. VERY impressive to watch these guys in action. Enjoy!
