Steph! My name is Jared — hello from Connecticut!  I’m writing to you after feeling inspired by a dream, your book, and all of the people who have written to you in the past. My dream involved us climbing and flying wing-suits.  It was one of the coolest and most satisfying dreams I have ever had.  [...]

If you haven’t ridden in a hot air balloon, you should do so immediately if not sooner. As a kid, I was fascinated with balloons after reading Jules Vernes “Five Weeks in a Balloon.” I mean, who wasn’t?? Sometime after that, I saw that movie where Baron von Munchausen escapes in a balloon made out [...]

Hey Steph, Thank for reminding me that life isn’t just about a 9-6 job, bank balance and all the things in this category. There’s so much more to it. It makes me realize, you can conquer life .. It is not the other way around. Every time you update your facebook photo album doing a [...]

I’ve been in Europe for a month, base jumping and climbing, a trip partly inspired by an invitation to the Cortina inCroda climbing festival in Italy. We started in Switzerland, jumping in Lauterbrunnen, Kandersteg Valley and Walenstadt and then moved over to Chamonix (where we saw Mont Blanc for about two minutes in a four [...]

The Jungfrau jump in Lauterbrunnen is one I have always dreamed of doing. In past visits, I didn’t think I was ready for it. It is known for having a short start, 190 meters. This means that you have to exit correctly and get your suit flying immediately because it’s less than 600 feet to [...]

Just like rock climbing, flying off cliffs doesn’t seem to get old, and having to travel to Europe to do it isn’t so bad either . Europeans have giant cliffs coming out of their ears, and no prejudices about mountain sports, so they get a huge thumbs up. And a lot of tourist revenue from [...]

Hello, I have always thought of wingsuit dives. I would like to ask you, Are you an instructor at any skydiving school? What are the initial steps for me who has never skydived before Is wingsuit dive from the airplane more exciting than a wingsuit basejump? I live in Utah, It was very nice to [...]

Just saw your awesome video on the gopro site and was wondering how many years of skydiving you did before you started base jumping and THEN, how long were you base jumping until you were getting into the wing suits? My dream would be to base off of a tandem paraglider someday and MAYBE get [...]

Hello Steph! My name is Oleg; I’m 21, live in Novosibirsk city (Russia) and have some questions which might be interesting for other people as well. Not long ago I started to do skydiving and made 28 jumps till now (I know you don’t like to count the jumps, but it’s the only apparent way [...]
