Red Bull aerial athletes complete 'first of its kind' global aerial assault course. Red Bull’s top aerial athletes and pilots have come together to create the ‘Ultimate Aerial Obstacle Course’, a 15-stage airborne challenge that includes stunts in the open skies, as well as beside mountains, and city skylines. Filmed over two years across eight countries and involving 34 athletes, the project combines wingsuit flying, skydiving, paramotors, aerobatics, and drone formations into a single “party jump” that pushes the limits of aerial collaboration. “It’s the most fun project I’ve ever been involved in,” said Marco Waltenspiel, BASE jumper. “Really, it’s 15 projects in one, and something we’ll remember for a while.”. The course began in Croatia with wingsuiters leaping from a plane to chase jet skis parachuting into the Adriatic, before flying through smoke tunnels traced by The Flying Bulls Alpha Jets. From there, athletes navigated airborne rings, human gates formed by skydivers, and a paper target suspended beneath a hot-air balloon over Spain. In the United States, wingsuit pilots swooped onto a mountain to burst balloons with blades attached to their feet while in Italy, others were launched skyward by giant catapults built on a mountain peak. Later stages saw pilots weaving through pylons above the Swiss Alps and flying through a glowing Red Bull can formed by 600 drones hovering 1,000 feet above the Dubai. Other highlights included slaloming between Dubai’s skyscrapers and flying through the centre of Atlantis The Royal before landing on moving jet skis in the Bahamas for the finale. The Ultimate Aerial Obstacle Course full film, which premiered on 13 November 2025, is available to watch on YouTube.
