Unusual Music for Skydiving videos

Recommended Posts

I've noticed skydiving videos with music tend to have "Does this rock or what!?" style soundtracks. Are there any examples of ones with more unusual music (Classical? Novelty? Showtunes? 1920s Jazz etc.?) Specifically, ones with unusual soundtracks where the odd music actually compliments what's going on in the video?

I realize this is a matter of opinion.

I have a vivid memory of a cheesy freefly video I found on some Russian site, years ago before Youtube was popular. I wish I could find it now. The whole thing was in slow-mo, and it had some really old cheesy/happy music, though I can't remember exactly what genre. But I remember one scene in particular where two freeflyers did a sit/stand totem, and the guy on top smiled and waved at the camera, and it made me think of the old home movies where a kid would wave to the camera and say "hi mom!"

I try to use fairly obscure music in at least some of my videos... though at least some of it does rock, and it's probably not nearly as unusual as what you had in mind.

This is one of the mellower ones, and my personal favorite:

I know some people don't care for that song though, but I love it.

Another old mellow one:

This one would be good, but I'm not sure I have the balls to pull it off:
