Steph Davis Blog
Those of you who’ve been reading this blog for a while will remember that my big brother Virgil was a big reason for me to start skydiving. So you might be wondering……how come we never hear anything about jumping with Virgil nowadays?
Hello Steph,
How does one learn to fly a wingsuit? I’ve never even jumped out of a plane, but it really appeals to me! I’m no newcomer to adventure…..was NPS ranger in Olympic for many years…….then worked in film industry in many areas, including animal trainer (big cats, I raised several). Now I’ve moved back to […]
Although I know it’s hard to believe, Moab just got even more perfect. (Anyone who is sassy can remind me of this when it’s July and has been a million degrees for as long as anyone can remember.) But Clint MacBeth has reopened the Skydive Moab operation, officially the best drop zone on […]

Usually I jump out of the Twin Otter or the King Air at 12,500 feet and freefall for about 50 seconds, maybe 60 or 70, depending on how well I’m tracking. In a wingsuit on Sunday, I was flying for almost two minutes!
Saturday marked my 100th skydive, a jump I made with Jacob and Chris (a tracking jump, of course!). Chris and I flew close enough together to grab hands in the air.
