Hi, I’m Julian Barthel.

Flying has always been my passion. Soaring through the skies, taking in the views, enjoying the journey... you know the feeling. That sense of freedom is hard to put into words. I’ve spent the past 16 years as a full-time instructor at international dropzones, with more than 12,000 jumps and counting.* I’ve trained and certified hundreds of skydivers—and you’ll be next. *World Record holder (Head-Down Night Sequential) + multiple German & European records in head-down and sequential skydiving.
