When most people look at the Swiss Alps, they think about skiing, hiking and mountaineering — activities that involve being fastened to the earth in one way or another. Jamie Lee sees these majestic mountains as a playground and an opportunity to progress the sport of speedflying to places it has yet to go.

Join Jamie Lee as he comes whipping down the sides of glaciers, canyons, waterfalls, and cliff faces in the fourth of seven insane lines!

Acclaimed skydiver Amy Chmelecki braved -25C temperatures at 6,000m above Eloy in the Arizona desert to help break a skydive world record.

The 40-year-old led 65 women through the air into a difficult vertical formation to seal the amazing world record feat on their 16th attempt.

Before the attempt, the world record stood at 63 for an all-woman formation with Chmelecki part of the first vertical world record with only eight women in the early 2000s.

Eighteen nations were represented as the talented team flew head first towards the ground at breathtaking terminal velocity after two years of rigorous selection and a week spent training for the skydive.

During the selection process, the skydivers had to show the organisers that they could successfully dive safely alone, in control, and dock to another person.

Ninety jumpers showed up help set the record on the day, however the organisers had to whittle it down to 65 jumpers after some suffered through a combination of turbulence, hypoxia, head kicks, blown up sinuses, exhaustion, the clock, and the weather.

Once the final group was settled on, they jumped out of four planes at 10.57am to carry out their date with destiny.

Upon landing – even though the record was still not technically official at that particular time – the Skydive Arizona dropzone erupted in cheers unlike it had in previous unsuccessful attempts.

Chmelecki said, “Making a world record is not easy. That’s why it’s a world record. It’s not going to be given to us, we had to work really hard for this.

Amy Chemlecki gives instructions to the team during the filming of the Women’s Skydive World Record in Eloy, AZ, USA on November 25, 2016.

“We flew for 8.5 seconds. I couldn’t see behind me, but I could see in front of me and it looked so good.

“My cross partner could see behind me and she was smiling. You could just feel this buzz, an electric energy.”

Australian diver Jill Grantham had earlier declared, “The record is not guaranteed and everyone knows that.

“But this has been two years of planning and 12 months of training, so it would be a big let down if it was not successful. We just need it to be built for one video frame.”

With pack of challengers, Naasz faces rough ride defending Ice Cross Downhill title

Cameron Naasz of the United States, Pacome Schmitt of France, John Fisher of Canada and Scott Croxall of Canada compete during the third stage of the Ice Cross Downhill World Championship at the Red Bull Crashed Ice in Jyväskylä-Laajis, Finland on January 30, 2016.

The world’s fastest sport on skates kicks off its 17th season in Wagrain-Kleinarl, Austria in December with a first Riders Cup race before the Red Bull Crashed Ice season moves to the Mediterranean in January. American titleholder Cameron Naasz faces a pack of former champions and challengers eager to prevent him from repeating.

SALZBURG, Austria – American Cameron Naasz will try to become the first Ice Cross Downhill racer to ever repeat as champion in the world’s fastest sport on skates, an increasingly popular winter sport in which four fearless skaters at a time race downhill on an icy obstacle course at speeds of up to 80 km/h. Naasz knows it’s been impossible for any of the previous champions to defend their title because the sport with athletes from 20 nations and five continents has become so competitive thanks to year-round training.
“I think the reason no one has ever been able to become back-to-back World Champion is simply because it is so hard to remain consistently on top for that long,” said Naasz of the sport that used to be dominated by Europeans from such winter sports countries as Austria, Finland and Germany but ruled by Canadians and Americans in recent years. “Being consistent for one race or one whole season is hard enough considering how competitive the sport has gotten over the last few years.”
Naasz knows he has his work cut out for him as the title race for the world’s fastest sport on skates is shaping up into a ferocious fight to the finish with a fistful of former champions and other talented racers working hard in the off-season to dethrone him.
But Canada’s Scott Croxall, the 2015 champion will be racing in front of his home fans at the season finale, which could be an important boost.

Cameron Naasz of the United States, Maxwell Dunne of the United States, Luca Dallago of Austria and Derek Wedge of Switzerland compete during the final stage of the ATSX Ice Cross Downhill World Championship at the Red Bull Crashed Ice in Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States on February 27, 2016.

“I’m excited to have the final stop in Ottawa on Canadian ice – it’s always amazing to have friends and family there with the Canadian crowds cheering us on,” said Croxall, who said he is extremely pleased about his pre-season preparations. For the last two months he has been training with his brother Kyle Croxall on an indoor bike and skate track.
Also figuring in the title battle this season are Austria’s Marco Dallago, the 2014 champion, along with Tristan Dugerdil (France), Max Dunne (USA) and Dylan Moriarity (CAN), according to Red Bull Crashed Ice sporting director Christian Papillon. Canada’s Dean Moriarity (3rd last season), France’s Pacôme Schmitt (6th) and Austria’s Luca Dallago (5th) are also capable of winning races or getting on podiums.
Red Bull Crashed Ice season calendar: Jan. 13-14 – Marseille, France; Jan. 20-21 – Jyväskylä-Laajis, Finland; Feb 3-4 – Saint Paul, USA; March 3-4 – Ottawa, Canada.
