As the sun sets behind mountain peaks, there's something inexplicably alluring about the rush of air and the thrill of speed flying, a sport that captivates with its blend of danger and beauty. Join Owen Newton and his guest, Eric Greger, as they share breathtaking tales from the skies, where the line between audacity and calamity is as thin as the air they glide through. They recount the journey from the serene beginnings of paragliding to the high-octane world of speed flying - a path that led to an injury that grounded Owen, challenging his resilience and teaching valuable lessons about the fragility of pursuing passion at the edge.
Flying high often comes with the risk of falling hard, and this episode isn't shy about confronting the gritty realities that come with extreme aerial sports. Owen opens up about the mental and physical hurdles of recovering from a speed flying accident, discussing the complexities of being benched when the soul yearns for the skies. We also navigate the intricate dance of gratitude and determination, the support systems that underpin his recovery, and the bittersweet gaze upon unused gear that's waiting for another chance to take flight. It's a conversation that goes beyond the adrenaline to touch the very heart of what it means to be an athlete in the throes of convalescence.
Finally, we leap into the stories that stitch our lives to the outdoors, the environmental considerations of our pursuits, and the personal connections that keep us tethered to nature's vast expanse. Our discussion flits from the camaraderie found on the mountaintops of Jackson Hole to the eclectic diets and musical beats that fuel our aerial escapades. Owen and Eric map out bucket list dreams and future expeditions, dreaming of European landscapes and daring flights over Pakistan's terrain. So strap in and prepare for an episode that soars across the emotional spectrum, from the gravity of injury to the peaks of anticipation for what lies beyond the horizon.
