Stories from the Edge with Legendary BASE Jumper Jeb Corliss


Listen Later

“I jump off buildings and cliffs for fun. And I don’t recommend it to anyone.”

Dive into heart-pounding adventures with Jeb Corliss, one of the world’s most revered BASE jumpers and wingsuit pilots. In this episode, you’ll hear Jeb recount some of his most impactful stories, from the very first time he attempted BASE jumping to the incident that nearly put him off the sport for good. His energy and his vivid storytelling puts you right in the middle of the action - whether you’re plummeting off a 300-foot antenna in the middle of the night or soaring dangerously close to rocky cliffs. So buckle up - you’ll be on the edge of your seat from start to finish.
