They also chat with Jeb about his childhood, how he became interested in skydiving and base jumping, and the mindset required for these activities. Jeb reveals that he lost his dreams during his teenage years, which led him to become depressed and suicidal, and details how he discovered his passion for base jumping which has been pursuing ever since. Together with our hosts, Jeb discusses how the drive to push boundaries and evolve our capabilities as human beings can be seen in these sports, with technology enabling us to do this at a much faster rate.

NOTE: this conversation contains in-depth discussion on suicidal ideation. The Finer Details of this Episode: Jeb and some of his many accomplishments in the field His childhood and how he became interested in skydiving and base jumping The mindset required for skydiving and base jumping. The desire to push boundaries and evolve human capabilities The development of wingsuits Skydiving, training with a wingsuit, and base jumping Technology and its role in human evolution The evolution of rules and training programs for wingsuit flying and base jumping The technical difficulty of flying down the Great Pyramids in Egypt The challenges he faces during his jumps, and how he overcomes them Two thought processes that occur when tumbling towards solid granite at 120 mph Learning what is important in life Quotes: "If you can find happiness in your life doing anything else, do anything else." "Adults are constantly—I think it's their job, obviously, to teach children about the world and what you can and cannot do. And I don't think they purposely step on dreams." "I'm never nervous, because the moment you're nervous, you're done." "I can feel my heart beating in my ears, and everything's like hyper-real, and it's just a very, very unique moment." "My goal is to try to push the boundaries of what human beings are capable of doing. Right? It's like an evolutionary step." "We just were figuring it out." "It's really given me a life in a way that I can't even express. And it's made me a very happy person. And it's very special to me because I've gotten to see things from such a special way, and it's given me a life. I mean, it's given me my life." "If for some reason, in the next whatever jumps, it gets taken from me, then it was worth it. It's all worth it, because I'm willing to sacrifice everything because it's given me everything." "Everything just goes tunnel vision to my target." "All of a sudden, it kind of boiled life down to what was important, which was time. That's all that mattered. Nothing else meant anything." "And it was a fascinating thought process because I knew I couldn't make it. Like, there's no way you could hit ground at that speed and survive."

In 20 + years, Jeb Corliss has made more than 2,000 jumps, from the likes of the Eiffel Tower, Golden Gate Bridge, Angel Falls in Venezuela, the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and into a half-mile deep cave in China. He hasn't simply leapt off and pulled his parachute, though. To add an extra layer of challenge, push the bounds of his ability, and further slice the razor slim margin for error, he has performed acrobatic maneuvers – twists, somersaults, and gainers – during freefall. More recently he discovered the thrills and challenges of BASE-jumping with wingsuits, flying along some of the most stunning and dangerous mountain terrain. In the nearest approximation of human flight yet, wingsuits (which are more flying squirrel than bird or plane) allow the best pilots to trace the contours of cliffs, ridges, and mountainsides at high speed. All of which makes for an incredible spectacle: In July 2011, Corliss flew feet from the ground in the Swiss Alps, an event captured on camera and broadcast on ABC's 20/20. Two months later, in September, Corliss swooped through an arch in the side of China's iconic Tianmen Mountain, in front of a live television audience of millions. Corliss's stunts and his unyielding approach to life never fail to fascinate. He has been the subject of profiles published in The New York Times, Outside, Popular Mechanics, Smithsonian Air & Space, Men's Journal and Rolling Stone. He has been featured on television in the United States and abroad, including 60 Minutes in Australia, ESPN's E:60, Real Sports on HBO, Today, The Colbert Report, Good Morning America and Conan. Corliss has been featured in popular BASE documentaries such as A Year in the Life, Journey to the Center, Fearless, The Human Bird, Heavens Gate and The Flying Dagger to name a few. He also hosted the first season of Stunt Junkies on The Discovery Channel and was a technical advisor on the remake of Point Break. When he is not traveling the world, Corliss lives in Vista, California.
Jeb Corliss is one of the original madmen of BASE jumping. For more than two decades, he flung himself from the top of massive waterfalls, bridges, and skyscrapers, and managed to miraculously survive multiple crash landings in a sport that rarely gives second chances. But now he’s 44, and no longer chasing the edge of risk. Instead, Corliss has embarked on a journey into the depths of his own troubled mind. And he’s reached a surprising conclusion: BASE jumping, one of the most deadly sports on earth, may have been the thing that kept him alive. Outside contributor Daniel Duane traveled to Southern California to talk to Corliss about his latest high-wire act.

Jeb is one of the world's best known BASE-jumpers and wingsuit pilots. He has made more than 1,000 jumps including the Eiffel Tower, the Golden Gate Bridge and Angel falls to name a few. He is featured in a documentary called Fearless: The Jeb Corliss Story. Some interesting insights from this episode: Learn how he was diagnosed with counterphobia at an early age which made him want to confront his fears head on. “The only limits on you are the ones you place upon yourself.” Base-jumping saved him from a life of depression. It was the first time he truly felt happy. Getting over fear is like building muscle. You have to slowly build up a tolerance for fear so you can eventually do terrifying things. Hear about one of the most terrifying jumps he's ever done. Hear how he was able to survive an “unsurvivable” crash. It took years of suffering following a near-death accident to one day allow him to derive more pleasure from the simple things in life than jumping off any mountain.
