How to do Adventure and Extreme Sports -- if you have a day job

I this episode, I describe my first experience with a snowskate. Snowskates are still rare and relatively unknown. Only a limited few mountains will allow them and even fewer will rent them. There are a few tutorial videos online, but I found them to be done by expert riders, so not quite useful for first-timers! But you if have a chance to ride one, they are definitely worth a try.!

In this episode I will describe what I learned when I rode a dirt bike in the desert (in Dubai) for the first time. First time riding a dirt bike and first time riding in the desert!. I learned some lessons I wished I knew before doing it, which I hope will help you enjoy this activity safely.

In this episode, I will describe my first experience surfing in freezing conditions. I will highlight the top things I think are mandatory to winter surf, most of them was not mentioned anywhere when I was doing my research.

In this episode I will talk about couloir skiing -- couloirs are narrow, very steep, runs between rock sides. The most famous is Corbet's Couloir in Jackson Hole. We did Saudan Extreme Couloir in Blackcomb in Canada and it was a blast, a scary blast!

I don't know why it has taken me so long to share this one! Definitely a top 3 if not the undisputed number 1 experience I have done. I will tell you the best way to fly in a fighter jet -- after 2 years researching options, globally. I hope I will save you time and help you realize the dream of becoming Maverick for an hour!

For years after becoming a pilot and have flown in a jet once, I had always thought that flying in single-engine acrobatic planes would be "boring". Oh boy I was wrong. Listen in for more on the experience and how to do it safely!

I finally got the chance to dive in a halocline. Halocline is A halocline is a distinct vertical layer in a body of water where salinity changes rapidly with depth, creating a density difference between the water layers above and below. This density gradient forms a clear boundary between layers of different water densities, such as freshwater and saltwater, and can appear as a shimmering or blurry barrier to divers. Of course, Haloclines can be found in submersed caves, so make sure you are properly trained and certified before attempting it!

If you are like me and prefer the outdoors than a casino, then here are two tips for great motorcycle rides around Vegas: The Red Rock park loop and through the Valley of Fire. Both rides were a blast and the views were amazing. And I will share how I rented the bikes and what the experience is like.

This is a podcast between two AI chat bots who discuss my book, "LEAP: A Framework for Better Decision-Making by Unlocking the Secrets of Extreme Sports Athletes", LEAP provides a framework for making difficult decisions by examining the decision-making processes of extreme athletes. DalleMule argues that these decisions, which he terms "LEAP decisions," are not impulsive, but rather involve a complex interplay of logic, emotions, assertiveness, and permanence. He presents insights from interviews with various extreme athletes including a wingsuit flyer, a free-solo climber, and a cave diver. The book emphasizes that managing fear is crucial for making LEAP decisions effectively, and that individuals can train themselves to become more capable of making these challenging choices.

I learned to ride motorcycles 9 months ago. I had never been in anything with an engine and 2 wheels before. But it is the most amazing feeling. I am completely addicted and want to get better, on and off the roads. Doing a track day, I believe, it the best way to improve your skills and become a safer rider -- even for those who do not want to race. Here are some tips of how to do it.

I have always been afraid of hang gliding. Maybe because while growing up in Brazil in the 80s, it was common to hear tragic stories of hang gliders dying in "Pedra da Gavea", a famous cliff in Rio de Janeiro. But I found a way to take classes, get the training, and bypass my fears. And I loved it!

I have always dreamed about surfing in Hawaii's North Shore, like the famous Pipeline. And in Australia too! I had the chance to do both. Even surfing in the famous Bondi Beach in Australia, while in a business trip in Sydney. In this episode, I will give you some tips on how to do it!

You watched Free Solo with Alex Honnold or Dawn Wall with Tommy Caldwell and want to rock climb? I hope so! Climbing is awesome. Going outdoors require some level of climbing experience, IMO, that you can build in the gym -- listen to episode 1 on climbing. But once you go out, you will always want to be there!

I don't quite know why it took me 50 years to start surfing. Actually, literally 50 years, as I took my first surfing lesson on my 50th year birthday -- and fell in love with it. I will cover the basics on how to get started on this short episode. Hopefully the first of many others to come about surfing experiences.

This is known as the 'greatest adventure in Brazil'. In this episode, I will describe my experience rappelling and cavern-diving in the Anhumas Abyss (Abismo Anhumas). What an amazing thrill! and I was even able to combine climbing and diving into one!

Although it was not the main plan, I had the chance to paraglide in the Austrian Alps and it was just amazing. I know I am putting this short podcast under Skydiving, BUT I am thinking paragliding could be a good, soft intro to skydiving, for those too afraid to jumping off a plane for the first time. Plus, paragliding is just awesome by itself!

Diving in the Great Barrier Reef was in my bucket list for a long time and it was very worth it -- the only challenge is getting to Australia! I will give you some tips I learned doing my research before I got there and what I learned after I dived.

This is a quick one, about diving in the Devil's Den in north Florida. Devil's Den is sometimes called a cave, but it is a cavern -- check previous episode for the difference. It is arguably the 'most beautiful diving spot in the world', but I will give you my perspective.

This episode cover what you can (and to some extent, should) do if you want to dive in a cave, but you don't have the certification. This is just a description of what I did and how I did it -- I do not recommend anyone to follow my steps and dive in caves without proper training. Listen at your own risk!

In this episode I will talk about diving with sharks. The different ways to do it and how. This is something super close to my heart, as I am part of the Maritime Aquarium (CT) dive team and regularly dive with sharks to maintain the tank, do presentations to customers, and generally take care of our seven '8-foot babies'. Also, my daughter runs an org called teens4sharks (www.teens4sharks.com), dedicated to protect, conserve and educate about sharks. So sharks run in the family!

In this episode, I described how I summited Mt. Washington (NH) but it failed as a climb. I tie my mistakes to the fitness requirements and training I covered in episodes 2 and 3 and use the experience as a segue to mountaineering planning and decision-making, which I plan to cover in the next episode.

After getting some feedback and questions about the last episode, I dived a little deeper into the fitness training, body and mind, required for mountaineering, long hikes and expeditions.

In this episode I will cover the 3 foundations for fitness training as I see them: indoor aerobic training, strength training for muscle endurance (core!), and outdoor training to bring it all together and push your body. I will also cover my tools and programs, which I tested and bought from a variety of providers, such as Uphill Athlete, Training Peaks, Lumen, and HRV4Training.
