Ep. 37 - Thomas Wunderlich - What It's Like To Be A Cliff Diver

Thomas Wunderlich is a cliff diver and self-described "send addict". Cliff diving is a sport which just stops you in your tracks, especially when you see videos like Thomas’s which are over 30m off bridges. But contrary to what you think when initially seeing these jumps, you’ll learn in the episode that it’s all very calculated and safe - there is months, and at times years behind these jumps with endless visualisation and safety checks.  In this episode we discuss a host of themes about cliff diving:  the process behind finding a place to jump  Why they throw a rock before jumping  How Thomas gets in the zone before a big jump  How freestyle differs from the Red Bill Cliff Divers And I ask about Thomas’s two most famous jumps: one off a 33m bridge into a river, and the other in the middle of a shopping mall.  It’s a really fun episode, and I hope it does its part in explaining the process behind the antics which we see online.  Find Thomas on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/senddicted/?next=%2Flucalar%2F&hl=fr Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joe.reilly/?hl=en
