Alex and Mini-Biscuit are speaking to Hans Donner on today's episode. After reading an article about Hans' love for BASE jumping, Alex just HAD to try and get him on The Biscuit, so here we are.
Hans is a skydiving instructor and BASE jumping is something that Hans and his friends do for fun. But it's not all just fun and games. There is a lot of planning that takes place before a jump can take place. There are rules that Hans likes to follow when he's out BASE jumping just in-case things go wrong and sometimes they do...Hans gets into that too.
Hans is part of a collaborative group of UK professionals who are doing some amazing things on social media. Follow "Mountain Man Base" on Instagram and see for yourself - https://www.instagram.com/mountainmanbase/
This is what podcasts are made for. Speaking to people who live completely different lives and achieve things that others can't. Hans has an incredible skillset and it really was great speaking to him about his experiences. I think it goes without saying that BASE jumping is for the professionals and not to be tried at home. There is a concise planning procedure that takes place before every jump.
