“In most every other country, 'body flying' more commonly known as BASE...” — Dean Potter Quote

“In most every other country, 'body flying' more commonly known as BASE jumping is legal and looked upon as a beautiful art. Here in the United States, those of us who pursue human flight are treated as criminals and are forced to travel abroad to seek one of man's most fundamental desires, to fly free.”

“For two summers, I lived up on the Eiger for close to 40 days. It was in a tent under this overhang near the start of Deep Blue Sea. I would drink the water that dripped from the ceiling.”

“I know I'm just as mortal as everybody else and I think about that quite a bit, but I really do feel like everyone lives with this - they're just not aware of it.”

“I lived abroad most of my life in insular international communities.”

“I started competing internationally when I was still in school. Every summer I would travel abroad to England because England was the place to be for ballroom dancing.”

“Some days I think I would definitely like to move abroad but then, other days, I think I don't fancy it at all.”
