After 4 years of preparation, it finally happened. I just did the first ski BASE jump off Engineer Mountain in Colorado.

This jump would not have happened without the help of Your Flesh Tattoo artist Roger Seliner, Ska Brewery, The Boarding Haus, Bubba’s Boards, 4 Corner River Sports and Pedal the Peaks. Thanks everyone. Here is the Durango Herald article. Stay posted for a youtube video soon as well as pictures!

After several months of work and one failed attempt, Asit Rathod and I finally did the first ski BASE jump off Mt Hood in Oregon. Asit has about 40 climbs on Mt Hood and was a great help to do the jump in perfect weather conditions. He is actually writing a book called “Faces of Mount Hood” that I highly recommend to anyone that wishes to climb, ski, hike, or base jump Mount Hood!

Check out the video of the jump and you can also view a live interview by clicking on the links below:

I am up at Mt Baker for a couple days to shoot with Grant Gunderson. Just left Mt Hood where I got to ski with my friend and ex-pro skier Asit Rathod and photographer Randy Boverman. The conditions were epic. Tons of snow and soft landings.The last couple months have been hectic. Driving constantly and skiing and BASE jumping all over the Northwest of the United States.

Here are a few picture of 01/06/08 and also check out the Januray issue of SKI. Just got the cover! Hope life is treating you as well as it is treating me.

I just received a few pictures from my first BASE jumps at the Perrine Bridge. It was a wonderful time. It is one of the most fun thing to do!

As Jesse Hall said after our 9 jumps in one day, base jumping is a celebration of life. Moments like that make you appreciate every day more and give a whole new meaning to your life. Enough words of wisdom… Start skydiving and buy a base rig! It is the coolest thing to do!

Hope all is well on your side.

I just got back from a base jump trip to Twin Falls, ID and Salt Lake City, UT. Jumped for a couple days with Max Kuszaj, Jesse Hall and friends. We jumped the Perrine Bridge 9 times and then jumped a 330 foot cliff in Provo, UT. It was a blast!Base jumping is the most relaxing thing I have ever done. It makes you feel so good. As Jesse said, base jumping is a celebration of life and we celebrated life 10 times in two days. Life is great… I hope you are having fun too.

I finally received my new base jumping rig. I took the parachute skydiving Saturday and it is an amazing canopy very stable and responsive (Troll DW 245). Did a couple jump with it at Skydive New Mexico. The summer has been flying by very quickly… Winter is right around the corner and it will be time for some new snow adventures very soon!

In the meantime, I am planning a BASE jumping trip to Twin Falls ID with Jesse Hall. Jesse recently did his 500th BASE jump. I am looking forward to benefiting from his experience.
