The road less traveled

…After a handful of successful jumps I did not really consider myself a Basejumper. I told myself if I made it to a 100 jumps I would then claim to my self to be a Basejumper. I feel like I just got off the bunny hill, moving from green runs to blue runs… going through the process Learning how to pack, bridge trips, solo jumps, managing stress, making mistakes, jumping with all types of people, different conditions, multiple exits,pca, static, handheld,stowed, flips and shit. Antenna,span,earth…
Seeing first hand how ugly this sport can be, watching some one wall strike, watching a friend hit the ground and experience the feeling of I just watched my friend die. Horrible feeling…
The risk is high, the consequences are real,and the sport has taught me more then just a thrill.
BASE jumping is one of the hardest things mentally and physically I have ever done. WAY past a reasonable comfort zone. I can tell you about the panic attacks,the doubt,the fear… and the SUCCESS 🤘 I am becoming a stronger,better,more confident person because of BASE jumping. I absolutely love it!… 🤷‍♂️❤️🤘🙌🤠
Thank you @jimmypeterson27
And everyone else who helped in anyway support my dream and accomplish the impossible… @basejumpmoab @ataircanopies @redrockballooning @adrenalinebase @safeish @apexbase @moabgeartrader

**WARNING** extremely cold B.N. backcountry snowboard line... mt. Tuscarora seagull chute...It came up jokingly in conversation during the car ride there,"Iam not worried about the avalanche Iam worried about how cold it will be when I'm buried in it naked haha" the thought grew as we hiked up and as we got up to the top the 4 degree temp and howling wind dropped the temp to around -20. I decided it's Not going to happen. @james_buehler dropped @croshanemedia was filming and I began to get ready.two skiers came up and looked over at me,are you going to drop that naked? I realized my boots were off and I was pulling my pants off stripping down. It was so cold my brain stopped working and I was not able to use my hands.trying to hurry the coldness made me contimplate putting my clothes back on and backing out...screw it,I decided to maybe go out and live a little. #unofficialnetworks #tetongravityresearch #tgr #skinaked @viralvideosmedia @viralminute @viralvariety
