April 21, 2024 14:42 - 1 hour - 35.9 MB

Like a lot of us, Andy "Bad Andy" VanHandel went out to make his first jump with his then girlfriend. How did that first jump go? Truth is, he couldn't tell you. It was complete overload... Yet something in that first experience drew him back. By jump number 3, he knew he'd found his sport. Working toward his coach rating, then static-line instructor, and eventually to a very busy weekend warrior TI, Andy had found not just a passion, but a community to share it with. Still deep in the tande...

Lunatic Fringe with Bodyflight Spotlight

April 14, 2024 11:32 - 57 minutes - 36 MB

Although Dawson and Olivier started their journey in skydiving at the same time, it was the tunnel that first sunk its hooks deep in both of them. Growing up in Canada, all the usual sports were on tap for each of them, from snowboarding to rock climbing, but it was the tunnel that showed them something exciting and new. As with most, finding both the time and money to maintain turned out to be the biggest challenge, and although Covid threw a proper wrench into the machine for everyone, bot...

April 07, 2024 15:36 - 43 minutes - 26.5 MB

Anyone in skydiving for any length of time hears amazing stories, both in the air and on the ground. For those outside the sport, some of them are truly hard to wrap your head around... and Rhino Jon? Well, he has more of those stories than almost anyone. From wealthy beginnings Jon decided to go a different way. His path led him toward the military, then special forces, then covert style operations, drug smuggling, art theft, and of course skydiving. With a 12,000 acre "garden" in Kenya to ...

The first time Lee Crudgington thought about jumping out of an airplane he was just in search of a plan for the future. He wasn't prepared for the military recruiter telling him paratrooper training was the way to go. Being fit and young, his training went well, all except for being deployed first to his paratrooper regiment in Iraq without having gone through jump school; yet once he did finally earn his wings, it was the fast track for Lee. Becoming a member of the heralded Red Devils from...

The Lunatic Fringe with Jimmy McCarthy II

From a pretty standard 'that one time I had some money and free time' start to skydiving, to it becoming an almost singular pursuit, Jimmy McCarthy discover in himself not only a desire to pursue his dream of flight, and his passion for teaching, but also an almost core desire to be his own boss.

Lunatic Fringe with Anna Moxnes

March 17, 2024 15:04 - 1 hour - 95.7 MB

Like anything, being raised within a sport or activity can either draw you in or push you away, and skydiving is no exception; and although skydiving didn't push Anna Moxnes away from the idea of jumping, it didn't exactly call to her. At least not like music did. At a very young age, Anna found herself on the road as a backup singer in a working band, and it wouldn't be until a random opportunity to make a tandem skydive for charity came about that the idea of jumping surfaced. Even then, i...

Lunatic Fringe Reboot with Timmi Thomsen

March 14, 2024 18:46 - 1 hour - 49.4 MB

Another kick ass mid week reboot with Timmi Thomsen! Growing up seeing canopies in the air pretty much his entire life, the idea of going to make a skydive when he turned eighteen seemed like a pretty easy decision. Like more than a few jumpers, it didn't take very long until Timmi spotted the direction he wanted to take his journey in the sport. Seeing what at the time he thought was a fatality in action, but was in reality just another swoop did the trick.  After a fortuitous job offer to...

Lunatic Fringe with Tom Gunes

March 10, 2024 20:49 - 49 minutes - 32 MB

Growing up in a kitchen helped toughen up Tom Gunes. Working his way from a sink full of dishes to a chef's knife, there's no doubt in his mind that the fiery environment a chef has to operate in helped prepare him for the stresses of skydiving, and he took to our sport from jump number one. With his beginnings at one of the most prestigious drop zones in the world, he's been able to soak up inspiration from icons in the sport, but long before he'd ever seen a parachute in person, he'd seen ...

Lunatic Fringe Reboot with Jeff Weatherall

March 07, 2024 10:18 - 1 hour - 62 MB

Another kick ass mid week reboot with Jeff Weatherall! As a young Kiwi, starting out with sport was a pretty natural thing, and Jeff Weatherall excelled. Surfing seemed to be a natural fit for him, and competition became the standard at a young age; but as is known to happen when you push for the top, Jeff found himself burned out on the waves, and instead put all of his focus into a sport he'd never considered before, wakeboarding.  On his way to becoming an international champion behind a...

Lunatic Fringe with Greg Windmiller

March 03, 2024 18:30 - 1 hour - 42.5 MB

He never could have imagine when at the ripe old age of seventeen and enlisting in the Army that he'd eventually be nudged into pursuing skydiving by open water and a big fish, but that's exactly what happened. Greg Windmiller knew pretty quickly that skydiving was for him. With what he admittedly calls a 'blessed' career, Greg found himself not just jumping with some of the best in the business, but leading the pack. With a passion cultivated between military and civilian operations, he fou...

Lunatic Fringe reboot with The Darman Brothers

February 29, 2024 12:43 - 1 hour - 50.3 MB

Lunatic Fringe with Mike McGowan II

February 25, 2024 14:29 - 57 minutes - 32.6 MB

An absolute trailblazer in the world of freefall photography and the man who can almost single-handedly be credited with blueprint for modern tandem video production, Mike Mcgowan joins us once again to talk not only about his incredible career in our sport, but about a subject that holds just as much importance to him. Addiction. Having faced his own demons in the form of alcohol and drug addiction, Mike speaks frankly about his now forty years of sobriety and what it took to get him from a...

February 22, 2024 13:25 - 1 hour - 69.9 MB

Another kick ass mid week reboot with Will Lajeunesse! Starting out at Skydive Crosskeys in the early 2000's was a fucking trip!

From crazy highs to deep lows, he's had the opportunity to taste a bit of it all. Having become infamous for some seriously sketchy shit, to becoming zen in the alps,...

Lunatic Fringe with Nicholas Armstrong

February 18, 2024 16:08 - 1 hour - 108 MB

Drawn to skydiving when higher education failed to engage him and it's social scene held no interest, Nicolas Armstrong couldn't help but feel when he went out to make his first jump on a weekend that also happened to be during the biggest boogie of the year that it simply must be his destiny. With more than 20 years in the sport, working as everything from a camera flyer to tandem instructor to AFF and competitor, he has more than his fair share of stories to tell. On top of that, having to...

Lunatic Fringe Reboot with Shannon and Louise

February 13, 2024 16:40 - 1 hour - 86 MB

Another kick ass mid week reboot with Shannon and Louise! Living mirrored lives on different sides of the planet, Louise Kristensen and Shannon Seyb had a passion and drive for most all the same things. From Horseback riding and yoga, to tunnel flying and a love of the sky and our community, forming a team to spread the love and a positive vibes was the only natural thing to do. Biding their time until they can train for dynamic two way tunnel comps and get back in the air, Louise and Shann...

Lunatic Fringe with James Heck

February 11, 2024 14:34 - 50 minutes - 31 MB

EPISODE #300! Fourteen years old isn't terribly early to be exposed to the wonderful world of skydiving if you're a second or even third generation jumper, but for someone with no connection to it... James Heck was that kid. Through random circumstance, James found himself packing parachutes almost right away, and even though he'd be required to wait what must have seemed like a lifetime to manage that first jump, he knew it was exactly what he wanted to do. Now a proud camera flying, TI in...

Lunatic Fringe with Robin Jandle

January 28, 2024 18:57 - 50 minutes - 32.3 MB

Leaving Southern California for the North Shore of Hawaii Sounded like the perfect opportunity for a then 18 year old Robin Jandle, and it was. So when the opportunity to go make a skydive over one of the most beautiful places on Earth came up, she was... absolutely not into it. So, as good friends are known to do, they took her anyway and peer pressured her on to the plane. One grudging tandem turned into a second, then AFF in one of the most challenging places in the world to learn, and be...

Lunatic Fringe Reboot with Ellis Dahno Bourbonnais

January 24, 2024 15:15 - 1 hour - 43 MB

Another kick ass mid week reboot with Ellis Danho Bourbonnais! Ellis Danho Bourbonnais is the quintessence of a renaissance man to say the least, but most certainly not in the way most people would think. From surfing in the Gulf and then Hawaii, to MMA, skydiving, BASE jumping and climbing, Ellis is more at home pushing his personal limits than most people are on a sofa. Attacking new passions whole heartedly is where he's at his best, and he takes this time to give us a few of the reasons...

Lunatic Fringe with Marta Molinska

January 21, 2024 19:35 - 53 minutes - 33.7 MB

in 2012 going out to make a tandem skydive in Poland was pretty much like everywhere else. You book it, you jump. But when Marta Molinska made her first skydive, she didn't even make it to the ground before she was asking how she could make it as a pro. Her instructor not only got her to the ground safely and aimed her in the right direction to begin her journey, but remains her biggest supporter to this day. Now, not just the AFF instructor she set out to be on that very first jump, but man...

Lunatic Fringe Reboot with Mas Di Siena

January 10, 2024 19:34 - 1 hour - 79.3 MB

Another kick ass mid week reboot with Mas Di Siena! Mas Di Siena's entrance into skydiving wasn't exactly smooth, and was a start that would have dissuaded more than most from pushing to reach the level in our sport that he has. Hell, it would have kept most playing video games instead. Ex competitor, professional skydiving instructor and proud as hell meat hauler, Mas has managed to project a shiny outlook and happy disposition that most "working" skydivers should strive for, a great way t...

January 03, 2024 15:24 - 1 hour - 55.4 MB

Another kick ass mid week reboot with Simon Colmer! It started with an accident onboard a commercial airliner over Austrailia, or at least the catalyst did.  In an event that will forever be a part of Simon Colmer, part of learning to get past it was a bucket list that happened to include skydiving; yet for someone scared of heights dealing with the after effects of a traumatic experience onboard an airplane, it was one that took a bit of time to get around to.  Now, splitting his life quit...

Lunatic Fringe with Imane Adel

December 25, 2023 14:26 - 57 minutes - 79.5 MB

Extreme sports isn’t generally what comes to mind when talking to someone who loves statistics, yet Imane Adel is far from typical. With a wild streak a mile long, it may have just as well been her love for motorcycles or high-speed auto racing that captured her passion, but a touch of ego and a few flips in a rental car sent her on a different path. Due more to work and location than anything else, her time and attention finally turned toward skydiving in 2016, and the shock that was her fi...

Just sayin').

Lunatic Fringe with Amberly Brown

December 17, 2023 18:40 - 1 hour - 47.8 MB

Skydiving was an absolute no for Amberly Brown. Sick to her stomach and feeling out of place, she was much happier on top of her surf board. Having grown up through turbulent times and spending much of her childhood in Alaska, going to college in Hawaii and spending her off time surfing had been an incredibly positive turn, and Amberly hadn’t really been looking to add airsports to the list. Yet through chance meetings with a member of one of skydiving’s most well-known families and a desire...

Lunatic Fringe with Vana Parker

December 11, 2023 09:12 - 1 hour - 34.4 MB

Starting her skydiving career jumping round parachutes in her universities skydiving club, there was no doubt that if Vana Parker was going to be active in the sport, it wasn’t going to be in the UK. Luckily for her, South Africa was soon to be where she called home, and finding the nearest dropzone to her quickly became priority number one. With an incredibly competitive personal drive and even after dealing with early injuries, Vana found herself embracing formation skydiving and all that ...

Lunatic Fringe with Raymond Adams

December 03, 2023 18:05 - 1 hour - 97.1 MB

Raymond Adams Found his calling early in life. Well, he found his first calling... Deciding at the ripe old age of nineteen that he wanted to take a more artistic path and that hairdressing was how it would begin for him, Raymond sought after that particular goal with singular determination. He would eventually pursue skydiving with just as much passion and drive, which would lead him to photography, which would lead to... Even Raymond will be the first to tell you that what comes next is ab...

Lunatic Fringe Reboot with Anas Bekkali

November 29, 2023 12:29 - 1 hour - 97.6 MB

Another kick ass mid week reboot!! Anas Bekkali.  Like a lot of us, he got his start in "Air Sports" almost completely by accident, and like most of us, it totally took over his life, and damn has he made the most of it!  Starting off as a pure "tunnel rat" and transitioning to the sky, he's managed to do a whole lot with his ten or so years in the sport.  From skydiving over Everest with the Moroccan Flag and jumping his countries flag back home (where he was invited to meet the king), to ...

Lunatic Fringe with Fleur Jones

November 26, 2023 15:44 - 56 minutes - 78 MB

Practically born in her families Cessna, Fleur Jones was all about aviation from the very beginning. Traveling almost every weekend to different fields around the UK, it was inevitable that she would eventually come face to face with skydiving. But... It wasn't quite skydiving's time in her life just yet. With urging from her mother, Fleur pursued her dream in dance as a ballerina, and did incredibly well for herself. Right up until mother nature made her just a touch too tall… So, she did w...

Lunatic Reboot with Omar and the Family

November 22, 2023 21:25 - 1 hour - 107 MB

Another kick ass mid week reboot with Omar Alhegelan and the Family! Being a champion many times over is amazing. Having a reputation for riding the cutting edge of the sport you love is spectacular. Thinking outside the box and embracing new and bold and daring in a sport full of daring people is wonderful. But let's face it, being the parents your nine year old daughter looks up to and admires makes all that pale by comparison. Dunia Alhegelan, daughter of Omar Alhegelan and Cheri Johnson...

Lunatic Fringe with James La Barrie

November 19, 2023 14:33 - 1 hour - 87.2 MB

The old quip in our sport goes “If you’re not any good at skydiving, you may want to consider golf”, Yet James La Barrie came at skydiving from a decidedly different angle. Raised on Antigua, what most would call a remote island in the Caribbean, James knew almost instinctively that how you treated a person was just as if not more important than the services you offered them. It was his customer service way of approaching people that not only helped in his profession as a golf club pro, but ...

Lunatic Fringe with Max Heidenfelder

November 12, 2023 16:01 - 1 hour - 86 MB

Getting his start in skydiving at the ripe old age of ten years old, Max Heidenfelder dedicated the entire day he did his first jump to skydiving. Then he didn't make another jump until he was twenty eight. For Max, the tunnel was the real kicking-off point. It led him to skydiving through not only his growing love of airports, but through friends. Exactly the combination that would take him to Dubai first for the Winterfest Boogie, and then as an instructor. Enjoying a balancing act between...

Lunatic Fringe Reboot with Ray Ferrell

November 08, 2023 21:19 - 1 hour - 115 MB

Another kick ass mid-week reboot with Ray Ferrell! I think it's safe to say he may have pissed off a few people in his day. I also think it's safe to say that he gave more assholes like me with a little potential a chance to shine than most ever would. From a true country boy with a real desire to fly to the owner and operator of one of the longest running mid-sized dropzone's in the US, Mr. Ray Ferrell has his footprints all over the world of skydiving. He was there with the pioneers of RA...

Coming to civilian skydiving later in life after a military freefall career that left him less than thrilled with the sport, it was a chance meeting with a guy named "Noah" who flew "wing suits" that drove him to chase a new dream.  Years late...

Lunatic Fringe with Marshall West

October 29, 2023 15:18 - 1 hour - 83.3 MB

Starting his skydiving journey later in life than most has given Marshall west a bit of a different perspective on our sport. Growing up in Northern California as an avid skateboard and water sports enthusiast, Marshall definitely had outlets during his younger years. It wasn't until after he was deep into family life that skydiving entered the picture, but his initial impression of the sport didn't really draw him in. Until that first jump. That was as the saying goes, all she wrote. Purcha...
