Even a stone wants to be more….just do we all. None of us is satisfied with our lives, not if we’re remotely close to sane. We’re always in search of what’s better, what’s more, what’s successful, what’s new, what fills our soul….it’s part of why we skydive. We’re in love with that part of our spirit filled each time we leave the aircraft, when we see the smiles on the faces of our friends, as we better our skills, improve our mental health, rise above ourselves for even the most brief of moment… Continue

Received my TonySuit Mach1 today, very excited to have it arrive. Didn't get to jump it today; weather sucked. It's my 4th purchased wingsuit, and the 12th one I've jumped.

Bam!....they were flying. It w… Continue

When it comes, the world goes silent, almost as though it was in a vacuum jar. Piercing, persistent, and almost perverse in the gaity that masks the ugliness that follows its entrance. It doesn't sound like the phone call that comes from a friend, a phone solicitor, a relative. It's sinister, dark, foreboding, and angry. With more jumps than any on the planet, the Reaper is our jumpmaster, every time. With great consistence, the majority of us are able to give the Reaper the proverbial finger,… Continue

This weekend I learned a lot about life, love, passion, and pain...yet it feels like it flew by faster than Superman chasing angels. I arrived at Pepperell with my friend Jason Carter, just in time for Lurch/Brian's first trial flight of the "Frankenwing" aka "Tim Burton" aka "Blair… Continue
