  • This is by far the most insane video I have ever had the opportunity to live through and make! what was literally the coldest I have ever been which is surprising considering I ice dive, and this is the highest I have ever been outside a plane! god is amazing and im sure heaven will be 10x this view! can't wait till the next wild adventure. and for everyone wondering this was all done in completely legal airspace!
    Thankful for Susie my Beautiful Girlfriend and her Mom for coming out and supporting me!

I stood there just taking it all in and realized those mountains were there long before me and will be there long after I'm gone. It kind of put my daily worries in perspective as to exactly how insignificant they truly are in the scope of the world. It was a moment to remember.

    My first jump in Vietnam was from 2200 feet. I was so scared that I couldn't even spit. My next jump seemed routine. My lowest jump was 850 feet, which kind of worried me if the chute would open, but it did without hesitation. My grandson knew that I had parachuted in the Marines and he wanted me to go with him to the classes at the local airfield, so I did. I never knew that he expected me to jump with him. I was 64 at the time and never jumped since the war, but I did it just for him. We jumped from 900 feet. I was kind of afraid, but I put my faith in God and whoever folded my chute.

    That looked absolutely amazing. I've always wanted to be able to do that, and maybe one day I'll get to. Definitely on my bucket list for sure. I'd definitely use that method of transit for quick grocery or liquor store runs, as it definitely beats sitting in traffic just to grab one or two items. I would definitely fly to a friend's house instead of taking a car and sitting in a parking lot of traffic. Awesome video.👍

    Yo this is the 🥇 rst video I've ever seen of yours; bc I was searching for"veylon" like... Paragliding cars they make? Have you heard of that? But either way
    I want to do that, or THIS, SO bad.!! When you were going literally above the clouds and talking about it so happily that just made my day man!
    This is crazy and I want to learn more about it , I've been wanting to get a pilots license y'know just for small 2-6 seat craft, but I haven't even started... But this seems maybe easier (as in also cheaper?) And also maybe more dangerous... Which as a recovering heroin addict coming up on a year clean might be just the death defyng new habit I need 😁
    Thanks again, much. Love from Philadelphia

    In 1982, Larry Walters aka "Lawnchair Larry" made headlines when he strapped weather balloons to a lawn chair from his back yard and rose to an altitude of 16,000 feet. Airline pilots coming in for a landing at Long Beach airport couldn't believe their eyes when they saw a guy sitting in a lawn chair at high altitude.
