Spirit
Steph,
I love your spirit. I was browsing YouTube at work and came across the HBO Special on Wingsuiting. I am a NOVICE skydiver (barely working towards my A class license) and was very deeply touched by what the interview showed with you and your story. I am new to the sport and have no knowledge of who the “celebrities” of this sport are, but based on your website, it would seem I am late to the boat and you are well more famous than someone who would read this note. I have never touched a wingsuit and I am sure I have MANY jumps before I consider it, but I wanted to thank you for taking the time to do that HBO interview on your experience and I wanted you to know you have an effect far-reaching and the appreciation of what you have been through and what you do is never lost.
Luke
Luke, thank you so much for writing! I have gotten a lot of outraged (on my behalf!) emails about the HBO interview, as many people felt the host was insensitive. I’m glad you had a positive feeling from it, and took some inspiration. Best of luck with your A license, stay safe, and have fun!
Steph
