What No One Tells You About Being a Wingsuit Skydiver, BASE Jumper and Helicopter Pilot…

from Kindred Roads Podcast · host Mary Goggin

Braden Roseborough is a wingsuit skydiver,, BASE jumper, helicopter pilot, and instructor with over 3,000 jumps, certifications in tandem, AFF and wingsuit flight, and a full-time career as a software engineer. In this episode, Braden takes us from packing parachutes to teaching wingsuit flights, free-flying out of MI-17 helicopters above the Pyramids of Giza, and performing live demo jumps at Formula E races for audiences of up to thirty million viewers. He recounts surviving a high-speed midair collision, earning the nickname “Braden’s Ghost” after a wrong-line base jump, and the three-legged “tripod” model he uses to balance home, career and skydiving passion. Whether you’re gearing up for your first tandem or dreaming of wingsuit flight, Braden’s tips on overcoming fear, building community at Perrine Bridge, and making every leap count will inspire you to take the plunge yourself.
