Brian it was a treat to share space with you and try to get to know you better. I will miss the stoke and excitement. Everyone gets worried about parachutes and forget how dangerous the roads can be. Remind the people that matter that they matter.
How long can YOU hover for?!
Monterey local pilot @hparkerphoto of @teamillvision shows us his hovering skills at Sand City before taking a lap. Hovering is an essential skill for dune gooning and high wind ridge soaring. Come learn to dance on the wind with us at @ravenwolfskysports next spring during our high wind season in Monterey California!

“I am parachutist, I am risk-taker, I am adventure, I am danger, I am party, I am team, I am camaraderie, I am new experiences…I am BASE jumper.”

Thank you for sharing your story with us before you passed.
One last jump with Avery—a true legend of BASE 🪂
He didn’t just live for the sport; he lived to spread love, gratitude, and inspiration to everyone he met.
We first crossed paths in Brazil, and from there, he invited me on wild adventures around the world, like jumping the Lotus Tower in Sri Lanka.🗼This was a jump in Norway. Avery was one of the founders of the event, I asked him how they got everyone together in the fjords of Norway with 🚁🚁 he just smiled and said, “Nick, we realized we had more money than time. 😜”
In classic Avery fashion, he caught me off guard with his quick 3-2-1 count then flew like a rocket 😲🚀 His impact on the sport and on those lucky enough to call him a friend will never be forgotten.
Fly free brother!! @averybadenhop 🦅🪂
You will be missed😢

Lotus Tower, Sri Lanka.
I’ve been having fun putting together a follow up video to my trip. With the help of a few friends, I’ve put together a clip of my experiences with this beautiful tower.
It was such an experience to travel to the other side of the world for my first time out of the country. I won’t soon forget the people of Sri Lanka and how kind and welcoming they were.
Thank you @teamillvision for putting together this event.
Thank you to all of my new friends for looking out for me and showing me the way! Special thank you to @chaoticbabygiraffe for your amazing skills and knowledge. Thank you @gypsy_alex13 for packing me in your suitcase! Thank you @markshredder and @shmemilie for the fun and tips and pointing out my GoPro is still on.
