Friends

One of the best things about my adventures, is sharing them with friends.  This is a photo of myself and another jumping friend while hiking to a jumping exit point.  I never get tired of exploring the beautiful sandstone areas of Moab.

Skydiving

This photo was taken during a "freefly" skydive.  When I was first learning this "head down" position, it was helpful for friends to fly with me so I could look at the footage and photos later, to improve my body position.  Perfecting freeflying is an ongoing process and I enjoy flying at iFly in Ogden Utah.  iFly is an indoor wind tunnel that simulates skydiving.

Wingsuit Flying in the Dolomites

The Dolomites are a mountainous region in Northern Italy.  I recently traveled there jumping in August 2011.   It was one of the highlights of my wingsuit BASE jumping trip in Europe.  I hiked for 2.5 hours with another jumper.  The weather, views, and jumping conditions were perfect.  After driving from Switzerland earlier in the day, I was excited to get this jump in just before sunset.
