Getting out of the mud

First the van had to come out of a muddy Romanian hillside. We winched it out with tie-downs.

Sandra at Busteni

Sandra lined up her first big speed flight at Busteni. The wind shifted and shut it down. Calling it off is part of flying too.

The commercial

Then a closed ski resort in western Romania, where I was hired to fly a speedwing alongside a moto team and skiers. The landing zone was squeezed between power lines, so most of the job was scouting it until the line made sense.

Why we make these films

Battling Monsters is the mental health movement Jamie Leibert founded. PTSD is the monster. A wingsuit is how he manages it. Not a recovery story. A daily fight, filmed. Every film on this site is free because the people who need it most are the ones who cannot pay for it.
