Cloudbase Mayhem Podcast

Free flight tends to attract some rather big personalities to its crutches. And among its most interesting and passionate devotees is American pilot and pioneer Chuck Smith. Chuck learned back east on the dunes in the US with his brother in the late 80’s under the tutelage of climbing legend John Bouchard. From there the search for airtime and the love of the flying community brought him all over the world. The people he’s impacted or been impacted by is an impressive rolodex of the history of flying- the Yates brothers, Greg Smith, Richard Gallon, Dixon White, Granger Banks, the Dominico Brothers, Bob Schick, Todd Bibler, Michael Gaudoo, Phillipe Renudua, Peter Zimmerli, Bob England, Jimmy Grossman, Lee Kiaser, Joe Gluzinski, Greg Kelly, Ken Bair, the Amy brothers, Scott Gressit, Chris Blachley, the Furgeson brothers, Josh Cohn, Zach Housington, Mark Shipman, Pierre Bouilloux, Xavier Remond, Bruce Goldsmith, John Pendry, Uli Weismeier, Chris Santacroce, John Heiney, Larry Tudor, Bill Belcourt, Dick Jackson and many, many more. Chuck was the first US National Champion; represented the US in the Worlds in Kossen; remembers watching Mitch McAleer loop into the clouds in Japan at the world cup where goal was in the center of a BIG city; has used his feet and wing to access plenty of wild terrain across South America, Africa, Europe, and the Himalayas and has the stories you would imagine that go along with it all. Tuck in, you’re in for a treat. Happy Holidays everyone!
