Max Manow 2025 Endless Skydive
Red Bull Skydive Team member Max Manow has redefined the boundaries of aerial adventure in a stunning world-first. Over the dramatic landscapes of the Little Colorado River Tribal Park, Navajo Nation - a side arm of Arizona’s iconic Grand Canyon - the German skydiver leapt from a helicopter, latched onto a nosediving plane in mid-air, and ascended out of Hell Hole Bend canyon.
From there, he embarked on what he calls his “endless skydive,” an achievement that is as daring as it is unprecedented. Watch the full video now on UA-cam.
The 80/20 Snapshot:
The Feat: Manow leapt from a helicopter, tailed a moving plane, and attached himself to it with a custom-designed hook, allowing him to be towed in his wingsuit out of the canyon before releasing into freefall.
The Innovation: This marks the first time a skydiver has demonstrated the ability to continuously skydive without landing to repack a parachute.
The Equipment: Manow used a specially modified wingsuit and harness, while the Cessna 182 plane was equipped with an airbrake and hook system.
The Vision: "In theory, I could repeat the process over and over again - an endless skydive," said Manow, hinting at how this could revolutionise the sport.
Deep Dive:
- Manow’s unprecedented flight began at 10,000 feet above Arizona's dramatic Hell Hole Bend canyon. After exiting a helicopter, he manoeuvred his wingsuit to close the gap with a nosediving Cessna 182, piloted by Red Bull Air Force legend Luke Aikins.
- Precision was key: as the plane descended, Manow attached himself to a hook on the aircraft, allowing him to ascend back to a safe altitude of 2,500 feet before releasing into another freefall.
- “It's all about trust,” Manow explained. “The first big challenge was to get together with Luke and meet him in the air. The first time I was able to attach to the handle, it was so difficult. The airflow was very different, and it was throwing me around. I had to learn a lot of different ways of flying.”
- The logistics required months of preparation. Manow spent five months training, including sessions in a Stockholm wind tunnel, to master the techniques needed for mid-air connection. Meanwhile, Aikins modified his aircraft to ensure the feat was safe and repeatable.
- The Little Colorado River Tribal Park, nestled in the Navajo Nation, provided a stunning yet unforgiving backdrop for this endeavour. Hell Hole Bend’s dimensions - just 240 metres wide and 427 metres deep - left no room for error. With glide angles of 1:2.2 and speeds of up to 150 kilometres per hour during the approach, every moment demanded precision and trust.
- "What makes this project unique is that we are taking things that exist but are not meant to fly together, like wingsuits and planes," said Aikins. "When Max called and asked if I could tow him on a plane, I thought he might be a little crazy.”
- Once connected to the plane, Manow spent three minutes being towed out of the canyon, ascending at a rate of 500 feet per minute. The custom rigging included an airbrake controlled via a winch inside the cockpit and a rope housed in a carbon fibre tube to provide stability in turbulent air.
- “We had radio communication, so I was always updating him on altitude and position,” Aikins added. “He was on his back and couldn't see where we were going, so he had to have so much trust that I was going to take him to the right spot.”
- Manow’s "endless skydive" opens the door to a new vision of skydiving, where athletes could remain airborne without ever needing to land. Reflecting on the experience, Manow said: “Who knows where this will take the future of the sport?”
- The project also highlighted the importance of collaboration and innovation. The helicopter supporting the mission was piloted by Aaron Fitzgerald of the Red Bull Air Force, with aerial footage captured by Red Bull Skydive Team member Marco Fürst.
Key Stats from the Flight:
Helicopter exit altitude: 10,000 feet (3,048 metres)
Climb rate while attached to the plane: 500 feet/min (2.54 m/s)
Speed flying alongside the plane before connection: ~80 knots (41 m/s)
Dimensions of Hell Hole Bend: 240 metres wide, 427 metres deep

How to invent again the plane... 🤣 you are a litlle late man... there is planes if you want to fly better. I really dont understand why continuing in this way... too much technology and so bad performance in front of technology which ever exist. You are looseing the simplicity of base jump and free flight for nothing more.
This would have to be one of my favourite aviation videos of all time! and the footage taken from the drone chase is mind blowing. Thank you Dario for you courage😅
how is the sound of that drone, agree great footage
The Zivko Edge 540 is not at all the fastest propeller driven airplane (as Dario Costa says)! Its top speed of 230 kts is lower than some other piston engine propeller planes speed (Mooney Acclaim, Piper M350). Almost all single engines TurboProp Airplanes make much more than 230 kts (Piper M500, M600, M700 Fury, PC12, Daher TBM, …).

sports press cant post full event?
Mental!
lol. "Like a newspaper in the wind" Thats good talk for the gen public. 😂 But great stunt. Very impressed.
JUste ENORME .....❤❤❤BRAVO A VOUS TOUS ...
Life in Cape Town!!!!
Yup kitesurf, jump over a plane, climb the mountain then go sample some of the best wines in the world. Sounds like a good day.
Lekker bezig!
Balls to the Walls boys 😎💯
The Best Ralley on this Planet ❤❤❤
Where is the freestyle? 😅
Any reason why they went with the wing below the person and not above (on their back)?
Magnetic bolts lol. They don’t work surely
My Ford Cortina and Red Bull, what a team that would have made
RAPTOR!!! best car ever!!
Toyota 😅
One might think this would have a military application such as enabling troops to fly over rivers and minefields and such. The idea is that these could be used to put troops a few miles behind enemy lines and not so much deeper penetrations so that hey could be lanced a mile of so back from the front line and fly a mile or two or such behind enemy lines. They could be employed at night to make them harder to spot and shoot down as well if penetrated heavily defended air spaces. Also UAVs could be deployed to fly back the air suit once a man has landed behind enemy lines so that additional soldiers could employ them as well to reinforce the first wave of airborne troops. This might be dangerous, but airborne operations have typically always have been dangerous such as parachute and glider assaults in WW2.
Couple more tweaks and they gonna rediscover hang gliding
Red Bull just keeps on doing the best over and over. Imagine being a photographer for Red Bull. Wow. They’d get sick of me as an employee, I’d never take a day off and would love tomorrow even more than yesterday. Blow my mind and change my life red Bull, hire me and let’s DO WORK !!
Me too- we were discussing their pics the other day and every one is a bit of art. Keep an eye out for some of the Dakar stuff on our website and socials. Be Well.
except for the fact that this incredible advertising is pushing a product that is actually worse for you than cigarettes. Its a shame that kids are drinking more redbulls than ever before because of the genius marketing.
So much better with out the commentators speaking b.s. all the time,, thanks.
Hollie is great and doing Scottish rugby proud.
Helicopters? Lol. Follow him with drones. Drone pilots could stay with him. Also, give him a smoke trail so viewers can more easily follow his trail, ups, downs, stalls, etc.
Soaring like the eagle.
Red bulls' wingman
Looks amazing well done have fun 🐿️
Embrace Human Flight
Can not get much closer to flying then this, without some sort of propulsion device.
Pretty awesome. I wonder if we can make a windsuit that is able to be controlled by remote control for anybody can do this?
12.5 km horizontal on a 3.4 km drop. That an amazing ratio of travel. I see this without knowing paragliding or lw glider for reference
4:1 is fairly consistent for wingsuits already
Such an amazing form! Well done Jake!
Can't wait to see you do your amazing forms
This is like hang gliding with a fat bloke for a pilot…. I should know, 30 years ago my landing speed was faster than I could run…. Coughs and says “high wing loading” as the eternal excuse for lack of skill and bottle…..
Was he generating lift?
Yes. Both the suit and the attached foil.
Absoluter Unsinn. Womit wollen wir uns für Werbung noch beschäftigen?
Now he just needs to complete a water landing with it
This was freaking awesome! 👏👏👏 Heck Ya!!
What they're going for is glide ratio so I don't see why they didn't use a MUCH higher aspect wing than that. That's how you fly further over a longer time using the same initial / potential energy..... IE a higher glide ratio.
sweet spot of not much surface area, he has to over power the wing to steer , too big a wing (that added wing not his silly batman cape ) he'll end up a passenger /need a rudder system .
What's stopping you?
Er moet heel veel gebeuren aan de baan voordat F1 hier terug kan keren. Ik juich het toe! F1 race in Zuid Afrika is wat er mist op de huidige kalender.
Super cool but at what point does this become hang gliding?
When he takes off the foil, and the wingsuit, and goes hang gliding. With a hang glider.
when he lands it
Why wasn't this posted by the official f1 channel
Was posted by redbull,comming 2027
in the end they will finally invent the sailplane...

Human flight? Flight suits do not allow flight. They allow falling, at a different angle. Here is how you can tell the difference, take off from sea level.
Looks so unstable and very problematic in an unusual attitude…
This dude is doing something interesting by combining wing suits and hang gliders. I hope he figures it out and can do it safely enough to stay alive.
Just wait for Darwin to kick in……
Flight tickets are cheaper& more comfortable than attempting to replicate Otto Lilienthal.
