VIDEO: WINGSUIT PILOT JEB CORLISS LANDS "FLYING DAGGER" STUNT

Wingsuit Pilot Jeb Corliss Lands Flying Dagger Stunt

Jeb Corliss, the 37 year old adventurer piloted a wingsuit today through the crack in Langshan Mountain, in Zhejiang Province, China, to complete the "flying dagger" jump.

The fissure is only about 25 feet across between a 900-foot-tall column of rock.

After the jump, Corliss stated, "This is the greatest thing I've ever done up to this point. I am just so, so happy that we were able to do it," 

"I was really worried that it wasn't going to happen. I was sure it wasn't going to happen. I've no idea. I just didn't want to disappoint everyone."

"The Chinese have been so nice to me. The Chinese government has been so wonderful. I just didn't want to disappoint everyone."

We at HSA have followed Jeb for quite awhile and we encourage you all to watch this video and be inspired to go out and do something adventurous.

VIDEO: TERRAFUGIA TRANSITION FLYING CAR

Car of the Future - Terrafugia Transition

When I was growing up, we were promised a future with flying cars. We all imagined the skies would be full of flying cars before the year 2000.

Almost a decade-and-a-half later, we wonder, "Where are the flying cars?"

Not to worry, they are on the way.

Aviation/transportation company, Terrafugia, has finally created a fully functional flying car. It can drive at highway speeds, be kept in a one-car garage, and fly at speeds of 100MPH. The car has all the safety features of a modern autombile such as airbags, crumple zones, and the works.

Don't just take our word for it... check out the video below for details and see this thing in action.

EXPEDITION: LAGUNA MADRE

Expedition - Laguna Madre

In our last post, "Expedition: Preliminary Talks", we hinted at an upcoming kayaking expedition in which HSA could be involved. The time has come for a few more details.

The concept of this yet-to-be-named expedition is a 120 mile kayak trip through the Laguna Madre in South Texas (see map below). HSA Founder, Joe Vulgamore, will paddle the three-day trip on a SOT touring kayak, camping at certain points along the way.

Still in the very early preliminary talk/planning stages this expedition is a paddle for charity event. The early concept is to raise funds for persons with intellectual disabilities. Until certain legal aspects are taken care of, we are not allowed to use the name of the charity in this post.

Basically though, the idea is for people to donate money for each mile paddled. The charity's Community Relation Director is working out the details on that, as well as trying to line up sponsors for equipment and gear, as well as a Title Sponsor for the adventure.

Plans are also in the works to obtain media partners. Everything from planning meetings and pre-expedition training to resupply points and POV video, will be video documented along the way and eventually put together as a full-length documentary.

The preliminary date for this expedition is early April 2014.

At this point, we can't say any more about the trip other than we, as well as our founder, are stoked and honored to be asked to be a participant in this event!

 Below is a map of the Laguna Madre with the tentative start and stop points, as well as the route through the Lower Laguna, the Intercoastal Waterway land cut (Saltillo Flats), and into the Upper Laguna.

Stay tuned for more info my friends!!!

EXPEDITION: PRELIMINARY TALKS

Expedition - Preliminary Talks Underway

Human Spirit of Adventure was lucky enough today for our founder to be involved in preliminary talks of a major expedition...

We cant release any details at the moment, but it is safe to say that with the proper funding and sponsorship, this will be an off the chain journey.

At this point in time, all we can say is that the expedition involves one of these***. 

More Details to come as time goes by... Stoked!
