So there's a 18 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: lot that an army that are in named Alex Dilman 19 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: Loss when he became a paraplegic after an ied blew 20 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: up under his legs in Afghanist However, who knew that 21 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 1: one particular new activity in his life would take back 22 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: some of what he lost hurling through the air at 23 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty miles an hour. He doesn't need 24 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: a wheelchair to skydive. He doesn't even have to have 25 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: his legs to do it. In that unique state of 26 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: concentration of freedom, he says that he's expected to perform 27 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: a do or die state of mind that he says 28 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: he hasn't felt since his old life in deployment. So 29 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 1: he did a whole segment on the news about this, 30 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: and it's kind of incredible because you don't need your 31 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: legs to skydive. In some weird way, the universe has 32 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: offered me this opportunity, he says. I was capable of 33 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: doing it on my own and that was all I needed, 34 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: and it sent me into this wild trajectory. So you 35 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: wouldn't you know, you can slide to a landing and 36 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: that would be the challenging part. But in the air, 37 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 1: he's able to skidive just like anybody else and he 38 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: doesn't need his legs to do that all by himself, 39 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: which is kind of kind of amazing. So I need 40 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: to go skydiving fun. Fact same, I have one hundred skydives. 41 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: Fun for sure, you've done it one hundred times. I'm 42 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: a license skydiver, but I think one hundred's a nice 43 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: round number as a price stop there. Yeah, just like 44 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: not going to Trader Joe's. Maybe I'm done with this 45 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: guy to me, but I have one hundred on the dot. Okay, yeah, 46 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: you want, you want to strapped to me and I'll 47 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: take you. Okay, I'm not licensed. I'm not licensed to 48 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,239 Speaker 1: that anyway, so never mind.
