Long Live Brad Gobright. I was cleaning out some hard drives and stumbled upon an interview I shot with Brad about a year after we filmed Safety 3rd, and only a couple months before he passed in a climbing accident. At the time I shot this I was thinking of starting a “talk show” and then I got sidetracked by other adventures and completely forgot this footage existed. It was bittersweet to revisit this interview, but I’m excited to release it to the world and watching it reinforced and reminded me of the fact that Brad was just a salt of the earth good dude, and truly a world class friend and climber. Head over to my YouTube to watch the interview, or click link in bio.

One of my goals when starting The Dirtbag Fund was to collaborate with young filmmakers to create content celebrating some of the grantees! I’m excited to present my first piece of DBF content…Head over to my YouTube (link in profile) to watch the short film “May, They, She” shot, directed and edited by @trevorlately and starring the legendary bad ass @heyitsmayjay May used the 1k dirtbag grant to offer a free 2 day skills retreat that got some folks out of the city and into the gunks to introduce them to outdoor climbing! May is sweet and giving person who is very busy working to promote equity in climbing for all people in NYC through partners like @nycclimbingcollective @riseoutsidecollective @heyflashfoxy @browngirlsclimb @kinshipclimbingcollective …. Also THANKS to @fattire @thenorthface @lasportivana @blackdiamond who all contributed to making this possible.
Valle de Bravo 23/24. I’ve been coming here for winter paragliding since I became addicted to this outrageous sport 9 years ago! It’s a true paragliding Mecca! I Rode into the new year exploring new deeper lines and honing my competition skills and came away with personal bests in both disciplines in this venue. The 19th annual Monarca was a blast and I managed a respectable 20th out of over 140 pilots, but the highlight of the trip was flying a unique new line into the deepness of Mexico with @sprodigality It was a total outrageous adventure which I will never forget! Thanks @ozoneparagliders for the Ferrari like magic carpet that is the Enzo 3 and @thenorthface! 👊❤️

King for a Day, by @cedarwright People compare Paragliding to chess in the sky. I think this analogy is faulty. I once heard, “Paragliding is like playing chess with dice that are a round.” Closer to the truth? I think chasing XC records is a little bit like fishing. You cast your line and hope you catch a big one. Really, Paragliding is closer to poker than chess… a game of skill and chance. This winter in Roldanillo I played my cards and launched my line into some absolutely epic weather. I arrived with the pie in the sky goal of breaking the FAI record for what is probably the most popular winter paragliding destination in the world. Success was unlikely, but I’ve been working on my delusional self-belief. On the 25th of January I realized an unlikely dream and put myself and the USA flag at the top of the Roldanillo x-contest score! I pushed, I believed, and I closed a 219 Km magical mystery tour of the Valle de Cauca. Elated and exhausted, I rested. My glory was short-lived. The next day Bogdan Bialka took his record back pushing it to 230! And… the next day Kevin Phillip took to the sky with a vengeance setting a new record of 236 km…legend. The Roldanillo FAI record was beaten 3 days in a row! I spent the next two weeks in an absurd version of paragliding Groundhog Day trying to reclaim the record. On three separate occasions, the dream was within grasp but shut down by the unpredictable Pacifico winds and a pace that just wasn’t fast enough. It’s fair to say that this was a historic season for Paragliding in Roldanillo. Of the top 50 scored flights on x-contest, 46 of them were from this year! It’s more the journey than the destination, and I’m grateful for the motivation that being a record chasing psychopath gave me. Epic scenery, wild low saves, thousands of kms, and almost 200 hours of full-bar obsession on my Enzo and Sub. While the Rolda. FAI record is more elusive than ever, I’m grateful that I got to be king for a day, and learned a ton about paragliding and the power of delusional self-belief…. which is why I’ll be taking the record back next year. #flyozone
