Extreme Sports

We have always enjoyed active, outdoor and extreme sports!

Skydiving, Cliff Jumping, Rock Climbing, Wakeboarding, Snowboarding – we live in the natural playground of the Pacific Northwest!

Wakeboarding

Skydiving

Here’s Luke coming in for the final approach on the first jump.  We jumped twice that day.  Both were static jumps from a Cessna 182 at 3000 feet.  I found out first-hand, why the birds sing.

Here’s Luke.  Still high in the sky on the adrenaline rush.  This was about the time that he realized that this could easily become an addiction. It is truly an experience beyond description!

 

Snowboarding

This was one of our favorite jumps at Steven’s Pass, Washington.

I love the color of the sky.  It’s the deepest blue ever.

 

Cliff Jumping!

Cliff jumping is almost as great as skydiving. This is a jump from our favorite spot up in Anacortes, Washington.

This is Luke trying a swan dive from the tree. We jump the cliffs here from 15 feet to 60 feet.

 

Rock Climbing

This is Zane climbing at one of our favorite spots.  Mount Eerie. Rock climbing allows you to put yourself safely in situations that you would never otherwise be in, and it can be a real rush.
