VIDEO: First Leap – Cliff Diving in Colorado

cliff diving,

He’s a modern-day freestyle cliff jumper, but you’ve got to see what he does to fully understand what that means. For Travis, part of the art of cliff diving is finding obscure, hard-to-reach cliffs in the most rugged of locations, then turning the jump itself into a twisting, free-floating descent. “First Leap” is a short that film that takes you […]
