In this episode, we chat with the legendary Steve Dines, who’s spent 40 years of his life skydiving. He’s flown outside camera for multiple world competitions and records and is respected as a pioneer in the early era of Australian BASE jumping in the 80s and 90s. His stoic attitude and relentless pursuit of always striving to do what no one else had done before, laid the groundwork for four decades of flight.

Dancing on the edge of danger, he nearly faced a lifetime ban from skydiving after deliberately opening his parachute at the low altitude of 300 feet, while his 500 ft exit over Nobbys Beach in Newcastle rattled a few feathers.

As the first person to BASE jump from the top of the Australian Harbour Bridge in 1987 and the opener of the renowned high exit jump at Bungonia State Forest, Steve made a profound mark on Australian jumping.

Buckle up as Steve shares a few of his captivating stories with us, alongside his newfound appreciation for living a simple life with his family, a sunset and a glass of red wine.
