Going into the second half, the 2014 World Series also returns to its pure and most fascinating natural side. Diving from a 28m cliff face without the support of a rock solid platform creates a special thrill and challenge for the world’s top athletes. A foreign feeling to those rather new in the sport, adjustments to the regular diving routine for everyone, even the experienced athletes. The two previous competitions on Portuguese soil have seen Artem Silchenko and Gary Hunt – both World Ser...

Fitness is an absolutely important part for cliff divers not to get injured. One competition after the other within seven days – that’s hard for a cliff diver’s body. What’s the perfect training for bones and muscles to deal with a challenge like this? Is it an advantage to be a rookie diver in a young body or does experience play a role as well? © Red Bull Media House

It was Gary Hunt, the ‘brilliant Brit’ of the World Series, who decided the third stop – the second within seven days – would be his early this Saturday morning, cutting in on Artem Silchenko’s back-to-back wins. However, it was the youngest in the field of the ten permanent athletes who gave more than just a glimpse of his great talent with a third place finish. Mexico’s Jonathan Paredes won the qualification competition in Australia in February, made it into the top six in his first World S...

Pure cliff diving directly off the cliff face, the reigning champion on top of the rankings and the youngest athlete on the podium – the circular-shaped Vila Franca do Campo islet offshore from São Miguel in the Azores archipelago made the perfect backdrop for the third stop of the current World Series season. Despite rough conditions throughout the entire week, the previous seasons’ dominant figurehead from the British Islands took over the reigns from Russia’s Artem Silchenko in Portugal to...

In a seven-day period the divers will have to deal with a modern opera house in Denmark’s historic capital and return to the impressive volcanic rocks of the Azores archipelago in the middle of the Atlantic. Without any time to recover, the athletes will face one of their biggest challenges of the whole season: in the first all-natural competition of the current season an imposing monolith and the outside crater walls of the circular-shaped Vila Franca do Campo islet offshore from São Miguel...

Gouveia International DH is, for many pro-riders, the first official downhill race of the season. For 2013 the trail has been renovated. Unfortunatly, the rain didn't stop along the raceday and the mud and the extreme conditions were the judges of this race.

1,369km west of the European mainland, the Azores archipelago comprises nine islands spread over three groups and symbolizes the beginning of the grand adventure of discovery that began in the 15th century and led the Portuguese to have a presence in the four corners of the globe. Of volcanic origin, the Azores are undoubtedly one of the last paradises in Europe - appearing often in legends of the lost continent of Atlantis. The venue for the third of seven stops of the World Series is locate...

WEARING THE LABEL ‘CLIFF DIVER’ WITH PRIDE They call themselves cliff divers, but still use a platform – why? A high rock and some deep water – that is what makes a cliff diver’s heart beat faster. Searching, finding, conquering and enjoying a cliff and the rush that goes through the body after a dive. It’s all about pure nature and brave men. When these athletes exchange the cliff for a platform and show their jaw-dropping manoeuvres from at least 27 metres in front of a huge crowd of spec...

0.1 points decided the winner of Saturday’s third stop of the 2012 World Series on the volcanic archipelago of the Azores, Portugal. It was the closest victory to date since the kick-off of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series in 2009 and made Russia’s Artem Silchenko the third winner in three competitions this season. Orlando Duque (COL) came just behind, in second place, but regained the overall lead of the 2012 World Series. He was followed by World Series champion Gary Hunt (UK). More t...

Two stops, two different winners and a new face as overall leader – the fourth season of the world’s most prestigious series of cliff diving competitions has more than delivered. Taking the plunge into the middle of the Atlantic Ocean next weekend, the participants of the 2012 Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series will face new territory in at least two respects: The third stop will be hosted on the Azores archipelago and two dives will be performed straight from the rocks. Who will make the mos...

The adventure continues in the trails of the beautiful Madeira Island, Portugal. Rui Sousa hits the tracks again with his smooth style. The union between human, machine and nature continues; basically, it's our way of living. We cleaned the track for a couple of days before filming. It's a long way up, taking everything we can in backpacks. It's hard, but this is our way to explore other angles, new perspectives, and search for the perfect image. The project is simplified because we work...
