Sooo happy to be back at Zhills this week with a lineup of flyers I'm excited to work with.
Zhills is the result of what happens when a dz and its community put heart into it all. 💗

Your #UPTVector can be built around your body, your canopy, your discipline, and the way you fly. Whether you’re looking for a long rig, a short rig, or something in between, the right design starts with getting the details right.

Have questions about measuring, sizing, or designing your #Vector? Your local UPT dealer is there to help you through the process and make sure your rig is built to fit you properly.

Because your Vector should fit your flying, not the other way around. 🤘

📸 Manu, @karl202088, @nicholasscalabrino @juancamerano and @maciejzaluski.

Leaving home tomorrow after two weeks of play, running, weightlifting, time with sister and brother and mom, family dinners, concerts, handpan every morning, and a little work.
Previous summers I wouldn't take more than a day off wpr week. Now, after buying a business and still running events and a steady stream of coaching, I should be busier than ever, but instead I'm actually scheduling time for these things.
And the benefits are so obvious. Balance. Joy. A real strong clarity. Grateful, grateful, grateful. ❤️

It's been a minute since I've taken on something new, for pure joy, and have experienced being an absolute fumbling beginner. 😍
It feels so fun to be a clumsy beginner and simultaneously be able witnessthr experience from both a student and teacher mindset. It reminds me why it's so important to enjoy the process of learning. And that, of course, feeds my understanding in my professional world.
I'm grateful for last months Ayahuasca ceremony which helped me reconnect with my instrument and also showed me I can actually travel with my skydiving gear and my handpan, which means I don't have to compartmentalize my passions anymore. It's fine if I have to travel with a whole other suitcase. 🤣 Worth it.

Leaving this video here more for my own self to be able to time stamp this phase of learning.
