The Lunatic Fringe Podcast

The Freakin‘ Pilot from Blue Skies Mag talks to some of the worlds premiere, as well as lesser known skydivers and extreme air sports athletes to get their take on living life to the fullest, their paths along the Lunatic Fringe, and how they fit into the mainstream world while living life on the dark side.It’s just as much if not more about why we skydive, parachute and BASE jump as how, and it’s endlessly entertaining to climb inside the minds of those living a life less ordinary.

Lunatic Fringe Reboot with Ellis

The Lunatic Fringe Podcast ·

2023/07/11

It's another mid-week reboot with the one and only Ellis! 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 why.

Lunatic Fringe with Brian Grubb

The Lunatic Fringe Podcast ·

2023/07/09

It's yet another story of it all starting out as a family affair, with roots in competition starting as young as 11 or 12 years old. Yes, you would be right, that's way too young to start a skydiving career, but its the perfect age to begin what has now been a more than 20 year career as a professional watersports athlete in activities ranging from Wakeskating to Foil Boarding. All Sports that helped vault Brian Grubb toward the top of his game and landing him an incredible career with RedBull

2023/07/05

It's another mid week reboot with Squirrel! Matt Gerdes and Mike Steen of Squirrel Wingsuits may not have set out to reshape the face of BASE jumping, but it seems they are quickly on their way to doing exactly that. With a ton of paragliding experience under their belts, their single minded goal soon became BASE jumping and wingsuit BASE; and in pursuing their lofty and dangerous dream ended up designing their own line of BASE specific equipment designed to enhance performance, increase safety and

Lunatic Fringe with Jason Cooke

The Lunatic Fringe Podcast ·

2023/07/02

Hook, line and sinker. With the help of a really savvy DZO, what started out as a few fellas deciding to make a one time jump turned into an almost instant obsession. As a young and close to broke skydiver like so many of us were, Jason Cooke did what he had to do to get through his beginnings in the sport, and just in time. The revolution that was set in motion by the film Point Break sent waves of fresh blood toward the industry just in time for a now relatively experienced Jason to start making

It's another mid-week reboot with the one and only Regan Tetlow! Talk about a wildly varied life... Mr. Regan Tetlow has made the rounds to say the least! From bar tender and pub owner, to the meet and greet face man at Skydive Emporia Brava. From randomly being asked to announcing a swoop event on the beach to becoming the voice behind some of the largest skydiving events in the world (and if you can believe it, balloon races...).

Lunatic Fringe with Domi Kiger

The Lunatic Fringe Podcast ·

2023/06/25

Tenacious. That's really the only way to put it when a 12-year-old sets her sights on jumping from an airplane and still wants it just as much three years later. There was little to no doubt in Domi Kiger's mind that she would do at least two things. One was blow bubbles scuba diving, and the other was make a skydive. By 16 years old she'd managed to work a part time job long enough to put herself through AFF, and the rest... well, the rest was history at Sorbonne Université and a Masters degree to

Lunatic Fringe Reboot with Craig Girard

2023/06/21

A mid-week reboot with one of the greatest to ever hit the sky, Mr. Craig Girard! With more than thirty eight years and over thirty-thousand skydives under his belt, you'd be hard set to find anyone on earth with more overall experience than Mr. Craig Girard. Multiple World Title and World Record holder, Craig was a member of not only the United States Army's Golden Knights, but Arizona Airspeed, one of the most highly decorated relative work teams in the sports history; a key member of the 400-way

Lunatic Fringe with Bob Lewis

The Lunatic Fringe Podcast ·

2023/06/18

When it comes to skydiving, most modern skydivers know the basics about our sports history. The average jumper can most likely tell you who created the 3-ring system and perhaps even who holds the record for the highest skydive, but you'd be hard pressed to find anyone that knows more about the history of skydiving and parachuting than Bob Lewis. As an ambassador for the skydiving Museum and Hall of Fame and tasked to help create some of its exhibits, Bob Lewis has a true passion for our history in

Lunatic Fringe Reboot with Curt Bartholomew

The Lunatic Fringe Podcast ·

2023/06/13

Another Kick Ass Mid-Week Reboot with Mr. Curt Bartholomew! Embry-Riddle. Not exactly what you would naturally think of as the training grounds for a world class canopy pilot. Perhaps a world class airline jock, or in his case even an air traffic controller, but not the founding member of one of the sports longest lived and most accomplished canopy pilot teams in the sport of skydiving. Curt Bartholomew began his career just like the rest of us; with that first jump. but then again, most of us

Lunatic Fringe with Shauna Finley

The Lunatic Fringe Podcast ·

2023/06/11

She may say that she was the less dominant twin growing up, but after almost being dared to, Shauna Finley changed up the entire trajectory of her life by leaving behind the track shoes and lacing up a pair of military boots. As a proud member of the Marine Corps, she was able to take the experience she gained during her 11 year career and take it on patrol as a State Trooper, which of course was a natural segue to skydiving...? Okay, not the straightest line to a jump career, but when you hear it

Another Lunatic Mid-Week Reboot with the one and only Olav Zipser! The Father of Freefly. Was he the first person to be on his head in the air? of course not, but he was most certainly the first to go out of his way to stay there! Dancing around the clouds like Peter Pan for the last 30+ years, Olav Zipser has been "freeflying his mind" and traveling the world encouraging others to learn to do the same with not just technical ability, but with heart and passion.

One got his start as a Las Vegas Flyaway tunnel rat back in the 90's. The other began as a 2nd generation Flyaway tunnel rat in Pigeon Forge Tennessee, and between the two, they've taken a love of body flight to the next level of obsession. Now with their sights set on not just dominating the body flight world but revolutionizing it, Mr. Cameron McMahan and Mr. Ray Kubiak are going big for their next chapter.

Mid-Week Reboot with the man with the Jyro plan... Mr. Attila Csizmadia! From Nervous beginnings in communist Hungary on military rounds with a reserve he had to pack himself, to Four-Way world meets to a stint packing for the Golden Knights and test jumps on Icarus canopies that would be enough to make anyone lay the nylon down and walk away, Attila Cszmadia has come a very long way in his time in the sport; and as the long time GM of NZ Aero it's safe to say there's a whole lot more to come.

The Lunatic Fringe Podcast ·

2023/05/28

As a second generation skydiver, there was no doubt in Will Penny's mind that he would not just make a jump, but become a skydiver; but even for him there was a moment when the decision had to be made between the so called real life he'd been studying to pursue and a life in the sky. Cut to years later when once again Will was faced with deciding between the life he had established for himself as a working camera flyer, and his dream of competition, and again with his desire to step on to yet

Lunatic Fringe with Mark ”Trunk” Kirschenbaum

The Lunatic Fringe Podcast ·

2023/05/21

Having made his way through school and started his career as an electrical engineer, skydiving hadn't been much more than a one time experience with a static line jump in college; yet as the real world started to exert itself on him, Mark "Trunk" Kirschenbaum decided to give jumping another go. This time around he could afford to pursue skydiving properly, and quickly found himself not just jumping but filming as well.

Lunatic Fringe with Jeff Provenzano

The Lunatic Fringe Podcast ·

2023/05/14

Attempting to jump off his roof as a kid into his fathers arms may have been a good indication of what was to come. Although Jeff Provenzano didn't come from parents that lived an extreme lifestyle, he did come from artistic stock, which could explain a lot. Even though his beginnings in skydiving were modest and even what might be considered by many to be ordinary, where he's taken his career is anything but. From the beginnings of the swoop revolution in the States and then competitions worldwide,

Lunatic Fringe with Shannon Pilcher

The Lunatic Fringe Podcast ·

2023/04/30

You could almost call it a storybook beginning. Groomed for a competition team before he’d even begun jumping, Shannon Pilcher was offered opportunities in skydiving that jumpers these days could only dream of. That’s not to say he didn’t he put in the work or earn his place because he most certainly did; but as he will be the first to say, it was the accomplishments of his team as a whole that helped carry them all to the levels they have achieved. From PD’s initial FS team to its iconic team

Lunatic Fringe with Jenna Gygi

The Lunatic Fringe Podcast ·

2023/04/23

She hadn't even known it was a thing. It all came about from just a casual invitation to go make a skydive one evening. Less than two weeks after that fateful jump, Jenna Gygi had signed up for her AFF course, setting her on a completey different path than the professional one she had been on; and perhaps it was because she was coming from a professional world that she aimed herself toward earning her tandem rating, knowing that if you intended to earn a living in this sport it was the best path
