Fall Risk: A Skydiving Podcast

I met Lori Eyler back in the fall of the 2016. She was incredibly kind to a complete stranger (me) who needed help. I learned a lot about her the winter I lived in her suburban California home, but this episode allowed me the chance to ask some of the questions I never got a chance to ask. There's no doubt Lori Eyler is a talented, accomplished skydiver, particularly as an esta

Join me this week and tune into another episode, this time centered around long time jumper, and multi-world and state record holding skydiver, Wade Baird. Anyone who knows Wade, is keenly aware of how much they can learn by jumping with him. Whether it has to do with formation skydiving, competition, angles, big ways, or just having plain ol' regular skydiving fun, Wade contai

Join the show this week and tune in to listen to Angie Aragon's journey through the world of skydiving--how she went from the average jumper at Skydive Elsinore, to a full time instructor, a tandem examiner, and now a National Director.This episode is full with knowledge, experience, and thought provoking concepts about safety, compassion, and wisdom in the world of jumping.

Join me this week while I chat with Mike Silva and Josh Evans of Team Collective about everything VFS, flight skills, and re-living some of the glory days at SkyVenture Colorado. If you've ever been interested in pursuing competitive skydiving in VFS (or any discipline really), make sure you don't miss this episode. Josh and Mike take me through the nitty gritty phases of b

Join me and a new special guest this week, for a riveting story about a woman named Tiny Broadwick.It's alright if you've never heard her name before. Up until a year ago, I'd never heard of her either. But don't let her anonymity fool you. She is quite literally the unspoken mother of skydiving as we know it today. Don't miss this glimpse into our sport's h

Cam Haley might genuinely be one of the nicest folks on the dropzone. Don't take my word for it--ask anyone who knows him, and I'd bet money they only ever have kind words to say. Cam started skydiving in college, during which he inherited control of his college parachuting club, competed at Collegiates, and amassed an obscene amount of tunnel time for a college student. Fo

Back for her third time on Fall Risk, Jen Halvorson joins me to talk about her experience hosting and organizing her very first women's HD camp. She explains what the planning process was like, how the camp was structured, and what participants got out of the entire event, including what she wants to do moving forward.

If your skydiving progression has been anything like mine, then you have always been consistently blown away when visiting the larger southern dropzones during your skydiving off season. These dropzones operate like well-oiled machines, and they literally have it all. Multiple aircraft, world class instructors and coaches, daily on-site organizers, gear stores, and events happening

What a wonderful coincidence, that Julie Kleinwort's episode is being released on Christmas. The most cheerful and inviting time of the year, directly coinciding with one of the happiest and peppiest women on the dropzone. Ask anyone who knows her--Julie is on another level when it comes to being cheerful. But don't let that bubbly exterior fool you, Julie possesses a razor

Daina Tubbs is the literal embodiment of a ray of sunshine. Truly, there's nobody on the dropzone with a better attitude and personality than her. That in and of itself is amazing given how long she's worked as a full time skydiving instructor in this incredibly stressful work environment.This episode goes off the rails in the best way possible, as Tubbs and I get into her
