The build

Step by step, a DIY battery and inverter power system wired into the van for under 300 dollars.

The story

The crew tells the story of a wingsuit jump where the jumper could not find his deployment handle until about 2,500 feet. That is the kind of story that makes everyone check their gear twice.

The jumps

Then jumps at a Portuguese dropzone, and a bad haircut.

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.
