Moab held its annual skydiving festival (the Moab Boogie) last weekend, and brought in the big jump planes from Arizona. The big attraction for our boogie is the special offsite jumps that we have here, where skydivers get to jump out of planes over the most beautiful landscapes imaginable and land in interesting places….you don’t get that in Kansas
Mario and I flew our wingsuits above Castle Valley. We hopped out above Parriott Mesa, and then got to fly above the ridgeline from Sister Superior, the Priest, the Rectory and Castleton Tower. It was hard to figure out what to look at first, there was too much to take in. So we’ll have to do that one again. Soon.
We can’t wait to see prAna ambassadors Chris Sharma, Steph Davis, Alex Puccio and a host of other great climbers in Chuck’s latest film!
THE SCENE
From the director of PURE and CORE, get ready to infiltrate four of the biggest scenes in the world of climbing.
Moab, Utah: a mellow desert town surrounded by massive sandstone towers, where climbers test the limits of danger while still maintaining a strict traditional ethic. Boulder, Colorado: the undisputed social hub of US climbing, with sponsored athletes of every discipline living in a city packed-full of talent, competition, and progressive ideas. Innsbruck, Austria: with possibly the highest concentration of talent in the world, the competition climbers here fight not only for the tops of podiums, but also corporate sponsorships and mainstream success. Catalunya, Spain: with near-limitless potential, Northern Spain has claimed the title of sport climbing capital of the world, and is now home to climbing’s largest population of elite sport climbers.
Filmed in stunning 4K Ultra High Definition, get ready for a fast-paced ride through the centers of the climbing universe.
When highliners decide to get creative with a little extra rigging, time and ropes: The “Swingline” is thus created. While on their tour, the somewhereelseland team established and walked some new highlines in Moab, Utah. They adapted the rigs from Dean Potter’s BASEline and a new line, ‘god loves americans’ to accommodate huge rope swings. Brian Mosbaugh was there to film and make some jumps.
Wingsuit action! (and a couple of cliff jumps too). Lots of flying with lots of friends at the Lodi Parachute Center, Skydive Ogden and Skydive Moab ~Steph

Enticed by our superstar athlete, Steph Davis, and her recent slide show at prAna, one of our office folk made a pit-stop in Moab on a recent road trip through the Southwest to experience the rush of freefall firsthand. Here’s a few images from the experience…
