Dorothy Told us that she wanted to Jump off the Bridge, Ride an elephant, and ride in a hot air balloon.  We just Completed that third wish on Thursday, May 22.  It was such a good day with Skywalker Balloon Company in Park City, Utah.  They met us in the morning and took us up for a nice flight where  we sang Happy 103rd Birthday to Dorothy and then a few of us jumped out.  Then she played the harmonica and told stories about back in the day.  She is so wise.  We would never be aware of what we don’t know.  She has seen many cycles in her 103 years.  She knows things that we would never know at the young age that most of us are at.  She is still living it up and loving it.  It is pretty inspirational to see her go and not complain about being old.  See the news story here by KMVT’s Rachel Holt, who joined us on the Balloon.

Here it is, the amazing Dorothy Custer and Sean Chuma on a Tandem Base jump last year.  The Jump made history as 102-year old Custer became the oldest person to do a Base Jump.  She took the plunge with Sean Chuma from Tandembase.com in Twin Falls, ID.  Chuma says, “It was one of the best days of my life, I love that lady, she has the best outlook on life and does what she wants.”   Click here to see “Caught on Camera”

World Travels and fulfilled Dreams

Hello World,  this summer is off to a perfect start.  I have been going full speed with First Base Jump Courses, Tandem Base jumps, Speedflying, TV shows, and the endless interviews for magazines and news reporters.  One thing I am very excited about is Dorothy Custer’s 103rd Birthday.  We are taking her on a hot air balloon ride.  Last year we gave her 3 wishes, which were:  1. Base jump off the Perrine Bridge, 2. Ride and elephant, 3. Ride in a hot air balloon.  We did the jump and rode the elephant.  Time for the 3rd.  For her b day we will be going to Utah to Sail the sky.  I’m taking a parachute.  We have the best and best looking local news girl going with us too!  Happy B day Dorothy.  You are the sweetest lady on earth.
