Hey All!
Its been a while since my last update. I just recently got back from Norway, jumping the bigwalls of Lysebotn. It was the trip of a lifetime, despite less than stellar weather. Myself and 5 others, dubbed 'team america', rocked over 2weeks of jumping, finishing up with the Kjerag Heli Boogie. With 4days we had 2choppers giving up quick access to the top. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate and we only got in 8heli jumps. All in all it was an awesome trip that opened a whole new world of jumping for me. Check out video/pics on my media page.
Now i'm back in Aspen for the remainder of the summer. Its been equally epic here too, with a lot of road biking and b.a.s.e to be had. Since i've been back i've been jumping a lot of our local cliffs and launching from paragliders off Aspen Mt. This morning went off with a big running huck from an 800ft cliff. We are fortunate to live in such proximity to great exit points!
September will be a busy month of jumping as well, with a trip to Switzerland for the first two weeks, doing wingsuit jumps off the famous Eiger mushroom rock. Then its back home for the 2008 GoFast Games in Canon City, Co. This event rocks with 3days of jumping off the Royal Gorge Bridge (1,009'). Due to the narrow cliff walls you can only take a 5sec delay max, then you land down on a small 25'x15' landing pad. Its awesome!
Most importantly though is the upcoming ski season, to which i am fully stoked for. All my limbs are feeling strong, and i'm looking forward to an epic season. I plan on a full season of contests and filming, and a repeat of Aspen's record snow-fall would be nice too.
Until the next update enjoy the summer, hope to see you on the hill or on the road!
