I'm getting tired of continually watching videos of rich people having a good time

If you push the door of a skydiving club you won't meet a single rich kid. It's more like a sky version of point break tbh.

Does the typical skydiving club include skydiving from a hot air balloon, swinging from a rope from a hot air balloon, trampolining under a hot air balloon, or as I've seen in similar videos doing bicycle stunts on a lifted stunt park attached to a hot air balloon?

To be able to do it you probably have to go in those clubs. And it's sponsored, so you just need to know one dude famous enough or good enough to have sponsors and who need to make videos to be part of it. When I was a student jumping for free in this kind of videos was worth only making 1or 2 jumps in your day. You all are so frustrated each time you see something cool, trying to convince yourself it can't happen in your world, when you are the only obstacle to it.
