Babylon Freefly

Memorable events include Sylvain's invention of the flying tube, and winning the very first official FAI Freefly World Cup in Eloy in 2000 with team-mates Nicolas Arnaud and Loic Jean-Albert.

For years Babylon were at the forefront of technical group flying, forming and formulating the way freefly jumps happened at a time when knowledge was being established through trial and error, answering questions like, how do you launch an eight-way vertical formation into the wind?

It is easier to think of Babylon Freefly as a school or, better yet, as a ‘platform’ from which to launch competitive teams, progress students, organise events and work toward the goal of pushing the sport forward.

Babylon FreeFly has been involved in projects including television commercials for Peugeot and Nintendo, appearing in the annual air show of the crown prince of Abu Dhabi, and action films like Secret Agents, Largo Winch 2, and the Bollywood Movie Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.

The school is headquartered at Skydive Empuriabrava in Girona, Costa Brava, Spain, and consists of instructors from France, Switzerland, Australia, Belgium, South Africa and Venezuela that have more than 80,000 jumps.
