“I will always jump as long as I can. I always want to teach and tell my stories of my experiences. I want to keep BASE moving into a positive direction. It is a right of passage kind of thing. Like being sent into the forest for the winter by yourself to return as a man. It is a celebration of the acheivement of what man can do. It is super human, ninja, gangster shit.” – Sean Chuma
