But this is what we really enjoy. We have so much fun while trying so we decided to turn the camera on! 😀 Additionally we started to try a little bit stuff with longboards. I have the feeling this won’t be the last stupid stuff to try. https://teamfancyshit.com/pages/privacy_policy/ Wed, 18 Sep 2024 00:55:52 +0200 https://teamfancyshit.com/pages/privacy_policy/ Who we are # Team Fancy Shit Our website address is: https://teamfancyshit.com.

Because it’s soooo fancy, we gave it the unexpected name “Fancy Wingloading Calculator”! 😀 It has options for tandem jumps, jumps with heavy equipment (big flags etc.) and jumps with an extended pilot weight (for post Christmas jumps ;)). We hope you like the app! Many thanks to Westerwings for the support.

For sure we had some training goals which got replaced with just one theme: Having a blast! Where have we been? # Oversimplified: Spain! 🙂 Empuriabrava is a two hours drive from Barcelona Airport in direction north west. Right at the ocean and very close to the french border. The dropzone Skydive Empuriabrava is right at the city around two kilometers far from the ocean. https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20171103_unstable_at_skydive_algarve/ Fri, 03 Nov 2017 00:29:07 +0200 https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20171103_unstable_at_skydive_algarve/ An exact plan was made for our skydive vacation: Having fun! We think, after one week at Skydive Algarve, we should get a master degree in unstableness for the stuff we did. And for sure we made a new YT video to prove this! 😀 https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20171019_sky_randomness_in_oct_2017/ Thu, 19 Oct 2017 00:27:35 +0200 https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20171019_sky_randomness_in_oct_2017/ Until this day we thought the perfect exit doesn´t exist. We got proven wrong, look at the beauty of the first pictures, there´s absolutely no room for improvement. Pure skill. https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20171011_fancy_stuff_at_and_around_skydive_algarve/ Wed, 11 Oct 2017 00:26:21 +0200 https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20171011_fancy_stuff_at_and_around_skydive_algarve/ We had a good time at Skydive Algarve and we want to share some impressions of our jumps and the nice view around there 🙂 https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20170815_reviewing_stuff_our_fave_viso_mount/ Tue, 15 Aug 2017 00:21:44 +0200 https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20170815_reviewing_stuff_our_fave_viso_mount/ All matters for skydiving. So this time we compared three different viso mounts. Everyone knows the moment when you open your latest order and it’s not like expected. So we want to bring some brightness to the dark to prevent some disappointing moments. That’s why we created our “Reviewing Stuff” series. In the meantime there is so much equipment available for skydiving and most time there is no possibility to test it before the order. https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20170803_what_is_next/ Thu, 03 Aug 2017 00:20:26 +0200 https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20170803_what_is_next/ OK, it might be there were some rainy days so the idea to produce a mini teaser was born. But at the end I was very happy to “use” my holo! 🙂 And anyway, there is a message… So stay tuned! https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20170802_new_stickers_available/ Wed, 02 Aug 2017 00:18:56 +0200 https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20170802_new_stickers_available/ The package with our new stickers just arrived. So the next sticker-mania can begin! 😀 So this might be a good timing to remember the “Trubel Exit”! #unstableonpurpose https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20170711_rigging_innovations_visits_skydive_westerwald/ Tue, 11 Jul 2017 00:13:50 +0200 https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20170711_rigging_innovations_visits_skydive_westerwald/ We had a blast last weekend. Westerwings invited Sandy Reid and Bill Wenger (a skydive legend of the US) of Rigging Innovations for a trip to Skydive Westerwald. Sandy explained the new innovations for the Curv and Bill joined a jump with all crazy Curv owners at the DZ. I don’t have to mention it… but for sure it was a Team Fancy Shit member who bombed Bill out of the Formation! https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20170510_checking_out_the_new_safire3/ Wed, 10 May 2017 00:12:00 +0200 https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20170510_checking_out_the_new_safire3/ Our master of alternative deployment methods was active again… Noooooob! 😀 Looks like he cannot handle two more cells than with his “bus”! So for sure a 129 sql 9-cell Safire 3 needs some more love while packing than the 149 sql 7-cell Omega which Armin had before. https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20170424_preparing_the_pack_job/ Mon, 24 Apr 2017 00:08:22 +0200 https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20170424_preparing_the_pack_job/ It was at that moment, as we realized non of us is particular good at packing. But we’ll do a tutorial anyways. Maybe some special effects can make it look like we know what we’re doing. Explosions make anything look pro! https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20170412_reviewing_stuff_probably_the_best_hook_knife_for_skydiving/ Wed, 12 Apr 2017 09:03:38 +0200 https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20170412_reviewing_stuff_probably_the_best_hook_knife_for_skydiving/ Do you wear a hook knife while skydiving? Did you ever thought about a situation you might need it? Do you think your knife is able to cut a vectran line, the material of a jumpsuit or a riser? Until a year ago I had no hook knife and I had none of those questions in my mind. Everything started with an skydive event in Germany which set a hook knife to the list of requirements. https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_boarding/20170203_learning_ollie_day_2/ Fri, 03 Feb 2017 22:55:04 +0200 https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_boarding/20170203_learning_ollie_day_2/ How many days do you need to learn to ollie? And what kind of equipment you might trash while trying? There might be some answers in our new video! https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20170139_behind_the_scenes_of_our_hook_knife_review/ Sun, 29 Jan 2017 00:06:15 +0200 https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20170139_behind_the_scenes_of_our_hook_knife_review/ “Behind the scenes” of our hook knife review we are working on right now. Okay, actually we are just standing in the Westerwings Shop, pointing a camera at Rapha, our rigger we trust in, pushing random buttons. We forced him to participate in the video, otherwise we reveal his darkest secret. (It has to do with potatoes) So thanks Rapha for your insight in the details behind this special knife in your fancy shop. https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20170106_we_fart_at_3900m/ Fri, 06 Jan 2017 09:06:23 +0200 https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20170106_we_fart_at_3900m/ Hi guys, the year 2017 started some days ago… so it’s the right time to watch some “super serious jumps” of 2016. Team Fancy Shit wasn’t jumping as often as planned but there were some awesome jumps with Torsten, Pascal, Conny, Holger and many many more. This was great fun! The original idea was to put all people we jumped with into one video. As you can see in this video… this idea did not make it to the final. https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20161217_reviewing_stuff_rigging_innovations_curv/ Sat, 17 Dec 2016 23:18:01 +0200 https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20161217_reviewing_stuff_rigging_innovations_curv/ Realizing noobs look extremely good in awesome gear, we asked Raphael of Westerwings to show us the most fancy stuff in his store. Short time later the order for a curv rig of Rigging Innovations was placed. Around 50 jumps later we really wanted to do a little review on the curv, because of reasons and it took us only 6 month to complete it. As a side note: We wanted Emma Watson as our rig model, but out of nowhere she declined the meeting, nobody was expecting that, so we had to turn everything around. https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20160913_italian_suits/ Tue, 13 Sep 2016 09:01:11 +0200 https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20160913_italian_suits/ As almost, we show perfect timing with our brand new summer suits, arriving ..well.. at the end of summer. But anyways we really like the new suits and even plan to do a short review on them. The weather gods have been with us, so we had a epic day of testing them out. The manufacturer ist Bertrand Adrenaline, a brand new company located in Italy. Check them out: http://www.bertrandadrenaline.com https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_boarding/20160818_learning_ollie_day_1/ Thu, 18 Aug 2016 22:55:02 +0200 https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_boarding/20160818_learning_ollie_day_1/ We are falling, sliding, climbing, whats next? Jumping of cause! Like ollie jumping…. well at least that´s what we try to do. We never ever tried to ollie before, okay.. I think that´s obvious. We are so bad at it, that we even wrote it the wrong way in the title (see movie) xD We´ll document every session, to track our progress and to see how long it´ll take to ollie properly and consistant. https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20160726_the_perfect_trubel_exit/ Tue, 26 Jul 2016 23:03:31 +0200 https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20160726_the_perfect_trubel_exit/ A Trubel Exit is our own creation of an stable unstable exit. In summary this is a extremly funny exit. We recommend to immitate! 😀 The first time we tried this exit was 2015 at airport Siegerland. This video was made at airport Breitscheid in 2016. What does “Trubel Exit” mean??? A Trubel Exit is an tripple “Mugel Exit”. 😀 OK… A “Mugel” is half human and half a ball (combination of german words “Mensch” and “Kugel”). https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_boarding/20160613_team_fancy_slid/ Mon, 13 Jun 2016 22:48:09 +0200 https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_boarding/20160613_team_fancy_slid/ It´s not all about Sykdiving. On cloudy days, our first thought (most of the time) is: “Let´s go Sliding!” Or at least what we call sliding. Most of the time it´s more or less controlled falling, but we´ll get there. https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20160607_fancylicious/ Tue, 07 Jun 2016 00:23:57 +0200 https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20160607_fancylicious/ This time TFS had reinforcement, Finish reinforcement to be exact. Great weekend with perfect weather to become more and more fancy and less shit. Some wonderfull day, we´ll become the definition of fancy, like a Butterfly, rising up from a shitty little Caterpillar. Doesn´t make any sense, but anyways, here´s the video! Special thanks to our Fin Kalle, who gave us some valuable tips. https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20160531_hard_premature_opening/ Tue, 31 May 2016 23:38:08 +0200 https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20160531_hard_premature_opening/ Seems like TFS-Members love to pull on their backs. In this video he clearly enjoys it and if you look closely, you can see that smooth comfy opening, like unfolding a cuddly blanket. Who wants to waste energy by pulling manually, if you can have an autodeploy. Patent pending. https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_boarding/20160525_bustin_boards_eq_36/ Wed, 25 May 2016 23:50:11 +0200 https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_boarding/20160525_bustin_boards_eq_36/ TFS just got a brand new crew member. It´s the Bustin Boards EQ 36 with Bear Kodiak trucks and These wheels. Sweeet setup! Thanks Ivo for the nice consultation, I went for a short run and I just love it. Hopefully I can go for a slide session within the next few days. I´ll definitely come back to Soneart for the next Upgrade! https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20160516_teamfancyshitvol1/ Mon, 16 May 2016 23:29:17 +0200 https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20160516_teamfancyshitvol1/ First try in doing…. ähm…..things.. https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20160511_1st_we_of_the_summer/ Wed, 11 May 2016 23:03:09 +0200 https://teamfancyshit.com/posts_skydiving/20160511_1st_we_of_the_summer/ Just having fun… first weekend of the summer.
