When Goats Can Fly

When Goats Can Fly

I took my new Backcountry.com canopy out for its maiden voyage today! Not only does it have the goat, but it’s magenta on top of it… Mao appears to approve. (phew)

From Afghanistan to Castleton!

From Afghanistan to Castleton!

A year ago I received a handwritten letter and photo from a UK soldier stationed in Afghanistan. In the photo, he was sitting on some rocks reading a copy of High Infatuation, which was pretty amazing to me! I was very worried about him…not everyone comes home safe from service. I sent him some posters [...]

Base Escape

Base Escape

Greetings, this is in no way meant for any bad intent! Anybody trapped in a high rise would love another option. If this is a re-hashed subject please disregard.

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 [...]

Jungfrau

Jungfrau

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 [...]

Time

Time

Four years into base, I’m beginning to understand how air and wind are like water–but they are invisible. Base jumping in Moab, done the way I choose to do it, is almost completely about understanding the air and wind conditions of the place you are going, rather than the place you are in the moment.
