The lesson
Ground handling and soaring practice on the Romanian coast, with new recording radios. It turned into yelling, choked brakes, and frustration on both sides.
The ending
The day ended in peace: a water-bottle-cap TV mount hack and a steak dinner to celebrate. Teaching someone you love a sport that can hurt them is hard. We keep doing it anyway.
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.
