They walk (and run & flip) the (high)line, we bring the snacks. These humans do some pretty wild things—go spend a minute on their pages and watch them fly!! @knot_a_cop @ggby_fest @_well_mend_

GGBY 2025, where do I even start?! What an awesome event to be a part of. I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to contribute everything I’m passionate about to this event, some old things some new🤪 with filming, announcing and competing my heart couldn’t be more full after this past week.

3 years ago was the first and only time I came to the fruit bowl to highline, I was petrified of fear and I have a vivid memory that will never leave my mind. I rolled out onto a highline (this was before I could even think about standing) a couple tears left my eyes, and then I very humbly rolled back in. What I felt out there on that line was immense gratitude, for a moment I wasn’t petrified in fear, I was just grateful.

I told myself that this year, no matter what happens, I just wanted to go out on that line and reflect on how much progress has been made over the past few years. The place that I had been just three years ago, I couldn’t even think about walking and now I was back for my first competition, a freestyle World Cup and placed 5th!

I’m extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to compete, and equally as grateful for all the people that supported me throughout this journey! Especially @amyhermes and @davis_hermes Cheers to many more memories with great friends and family in the desert!

🇺🇸"Space tricks"

When I visited Davis’s home spot, he set up the perfect rig for me to land the space trick I’d always wanted to try.
The setup worked perfectly, and I was able to land the Space Orbital right away.
Unfortunately, I was just a little short of landing the Space Eclipse, but I completely understood how to fly into space.
Thank you so much for preparing such a great setup for me, Davis 😘

During this trip to the U.S., I had so many new encounters.
Thank you all for welcoming me so warmly.
Especially @fern8ndez and @davis_hermes you really took care of me.
It was truly an amazing trip!

What do you think is the hardest of these 3 clips?

Some fun ones from a sesh at Boulder bowl a few months ago. Nothing gets better than a sesh with your homies! Love you people!

Life lately. It’s strange looking back through these photos because they fill me with nothing but hope and love and warmth, yet I’ve been struggling so much with all the change in my life lately. These photos represent small moments in my life that managed to punch through the fog that seems to be stuck in my head and show me the sunlight that is always there above the clouds. They might have been small moments with a friend when I felt alone and needed one the most, and they might have been instantaneous feelings of joy during a difficult day that brought me to my knees. All of these photos were taken when I felt Hope instead of despair.

I’m happy to be back home, even though everything is different now. It’s nice to touch the rocks that I know and smell the plants I’ve walked through a thousand times. There’s a rhythm here to the way things work. It feels familiar and old, but like a favorite T shirt or stained and ancient hat does. It’s comfortable, but also makes me remember what things I let go of while I was gone that were better to say goodbye to. I don’t want to let the comfort turn me back into an apathetic and stressed cog in the machine who is content to simply exist, and does not crave something better.

Oh what a joy it is to feel. The worst living hell I can imagine is a life spent trapped in your own mind, living in yesterday or tomorrow, yet unwilling to feel now.
