BASE jumper / Inventor / Driver Calvin19 and Hannibal: A Family Affair

Bill Waterson Calvin and Hobbes comic strip was presented to the public in 1985, a year before Matthew "Calvin" Hecker made his debut on this planet. Now a strong argument can be made Calvin19, as it is known on the forum, was mistakenly left here by the Mothership and they will return soon to claim it. Adding to this argument is fellow BASE jumpers commenting, "This guy does crazy shit", ". Is someone I have to answer" a statement that lures you into thinking

"Live your life for you and not based on popular opinion. Individuals can not be classified, they are far too diverse for the label. Do not be an adventurer, reckless, or athlete, be an explorer of all things in life. " Calvin is an explorer of life, embracing every moment of every day with every fiber of his being. He will go ten rounds of despair, he aches with desire, and it is filled with passion to swallow whole life before the world makes it to ashes.

When he does not, create or manage an affair, it is to capture on film. Thousands and thousands of photographs of gel friends and family in this time in a long time preserved to rekindle the flames of imagination. Boulder, Colorado, provided the setting for his life, this work of art that is alive and breathing. "I love this city, young women are open-minded colleges, glorious mountains in my backyard, huge towers, 2000 feet high cliffs, rivers, my family and friends," he exclaims.

This kind of live in the moment is reflected in his philosophy jump as well, "everything you do can be new to you once. My life is a series of moments. I have a soundtrack. Whenever I fly, I try to live up to this beautiful music in my head and make the video worth the time it took my imagination to make up ideas. It could be compared to films, I have never been a good judge of movies because I could not see everything in its final value. I kept getting lost in every moment, every feeling that could be taken from the beauty of visual and sound sensations. Flying do this for me, I can produce feelings before I feel, and I must follow him in flight. Seeing the line in a plane or a wingsuit and riding hard to the hole in the sky. "

"I live like I do with theft, and risk, and dreams and reality, just so I can up to the musical score in my head. I can not write music or paint landscapes, but I can fly. I can move my body with leaves of my tools to make the most amazing feeling and transfer of these visions of grandeur and epic adventure for those who may be watching. "

These moments of time weigh heavily on the mind of Calvin. Time lost opportunities to steal bases loaded scratch on his long list. Oh, yes there is a list entitled "Things to do before you die" and reads as such:

1-Break "the" record. (Classified information) 2-Build an air motor 3-Building a submarine. 4-Sailing south, far away.
