Brothers Dan and Tyler Michie started skydiving together back in 2020, when shit hit the fan with the COVID pandemic. Interested in so many of the same aspects of life, naturally they chose to start their jumping careers together. Four years later, they're still both going strong in the community, with Tyler hitting the coaching aspect of skydiving, and Dan pursuing a path in camera flying. Tune in for this unique look at how a family gets into skydiving, and why they continue to jump together to this day.
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 established camera flyer at her local dropzone Skydive Perris. And in this episode, Lori and I talk specifically about that, but also catch up as friends and discuss everything from how she started in this sport, the pros and cons of taking breaks from skydiving, and how things are going to look moving forward for her.
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 contains a depthless well of knowledge when it comes to jumping. As someone who has looked up to him as a mentor and teacher for almost her entire skydiving career, this episode was a intriguing look behind the curtain of how Wade got to where he is, and what the future in this sport will look like for him moving forward.
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.
