Chilean wingsuit pilot Sebastián ‘Ardilla’ Álvarez has set an unprecedented benchmark in aerial sports, breaking three world records by a significant margin with his Red Bull Starman mission - a high-stakes wingsuit dive that pushed the limits of human flight. Álvarez jumped from an aircraft at an altitude of 41,470 feet - higher than the cruising altitude of most commercial planes - harnessing the boost of a jet stream and making strategic body adjustments to maintain control while maximising speed, distance, and time. He remained airborne for 11 minutes and 1 second, with the jump taking place over the West Tennessee Skydiving centre in the early hours of March 22, showcasing his mastery of the skies.

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.
