Julian Carr is a master of send.
Known for hucking the biggest cliffs possible, he is practically BASE jumping sans parachute.
Last year weinterviewed himabout everything from his worst injury to his thought process before a big jump.
It’s always interesting to see into the mind of people like Julian.
Most view his antics as reckless, some just stand back in awe at what he does.
Regardless of your stance, you should check out his explanation of hitting this 210 foot behemoth in Europe.
“My first time to Europe, what a place.
We spent three weeks in Austria, then hopped a train to Switzerland.
The landing wasn’t quite there.
Close, but no cigar.
We woke up early, headed for early gondola.
Accumulation rumors were 30”+ storm total, zero wind, just an ultra perfect day ahead.
My mind went straight to the big cliff, I wanted to head straight for inspection.
One step at a time.
I hiked up, started my depth testing in the landing area I had been studying for weeks.
Next up was the take-off logistics.
These things were what I was processing as I went up the chairlift.
I had Sky Pinnick filming for Rage Films.
And the ultimate wingman, Tom Wayes.
We all seamlessly chatted logistics on the chairlift, then we all headed for our respective locations.
Took the lift back up.
I was focused, it was intense.
I got on the radio, gave my “1-minute” countdown.
I became one w my skis, one w the cliff, one w my exit point.
And the ground, the ground was impossibly far away.
I knew I needed to make some auto-adjustments on the fly.
Like nothing i’ve ever experienced.
My body tensed, I started breathing rapidly, I was not zen.
I knew I had better find zen, or else I’d likely die.
If I had any air in my body or even one tense muscle, I would detonate on impact.
Nick radio’d to the crew I was fine & I was laughing.
Lots of high-fives, lots of smiles, it was a bonkers experience.
One thing we were all curious about, how high was the cliff?
All I knew it was way higher than 170 feet.
He was routinely climbing trees over 200 feet tall.
He instantly said “hell yes JC.”
So we called it 210 feet.
