21.01.2022 Thanks to All Beef Productions for this 1st episode of Living Legends, where the legend Steve Fitch talks about his passion for skydive photography, how he got into the sport and some memorable moments... Also check out Steve's website! www.fitchimages.com

20.01.2022 Did you check out the latest ASM issue 101? "Well it’s the new era of ASM and I don’t think I’ve ever laughed or cried so much. Joe Joseph setting his canopy on fire with a flare gun is absolute gold, as are his videos and his account of the jump (Note: Read it with your best Texan accent.) I’m stoked to be bringing you this insane footage as the first video links in the mag. Go to page 51 for Texas Parachute Massacre. (Thanks for the great name Bretto).... And there’s David Shen, aka Dumpling (pronounced Dumpring in your best Asian accent). To celebrate Issue 101, I asked David to educate us about the sport in a Skydiving for Dummies fashion. He definitely did not disappoint go to page 8 for Skydiving 101. Between those two men I have filled my monthly quota of bursting out laughting and uncontrollable laughter, thank you! Then there’s the passing of three absolute legends of our sport Gentleman Jim Brierley, Col ‘The Count’ King and King of the Air Claude Gillard. I don’t have words, thankfully others do from page 31 to 35. The new ASM Online with links to websites, PDFs and VIDEOS! That means you can send in your videos as well as your photos! Entertain us with unusual jumps, beautiful locations, outstanding landings, incidents, malfunctions, day tapes, promo videos etc. Be sure to crop the videos, and send the YouTube or Vimeo link. Drastic times called for drastic measures, and so the ASM has now been reduced to a quarterly online only mag. While it’s sad to see the end of the luxurious printed mag, the planet is thanking us already. Hopefully you’ll embrace the change too." -- Susie McLachlan - Editor.
