Summary

After serving for five years in the British Royal Navy as a Mine Clearance Diver, Tim left England for Hollywood in 1992 to pursue his dream of a career as a stuntman.

For the last 28 years, he has worked on most of the big-budget action movies. He has crashed, slid, jumped, and turned over cars, ("Mr & Mrs Smith", "Dukes of Hazzard", "Man of the House", Fast & Furious 4), performed high falls and skydives; he has been strapped to an ejection seat during freefall ("Stealth" & Iron Man), BASE jumped from a moving car, ("xXx"), BASE jumped into Downtown L.A. ("Along Came Polly"), BASE jumped live into the 2004 Superbowl at Houston Reliant Stadium (in front of 80,000 people), flown his wingsuit over L.A. and landed in Paramount studios, ("World Stunt Awards"), Spent hours, days, & weeks underwater ("Sphere & "The Hunley" "Man of Steel), been involved in extensive fight & weapons based work, with the finest fight choreographers in the business, ("300"), as well as all of the "nuts & bolts" of stunt work; falls, wire-work, crashes, fire burns, etc, etc.

During this time, Tim has stayed busy, during his off time, traveling the world, BASE jumping and skydiving. He has accumulated many high profile BASE jumps including "Angel Falls" (World Highest Waterfall, Venezuela), "Petronas Towers" (World Tallest Buildings, Kuala Lumpar, Malaysia), climbed and jumped from "The Eiger" (the infamous Swiss mountain) as well as most of the big walls in Norway, during three separate trips there. He has also jumped in many other locations, which due to reasons of legality, cannot be mentioned here. As a filmmaker, Tim has documented some of these trips, then directed, produced, and edited a short film, which won an Aerial Film Festival.

His passion for skydiving has never stopped, and he remains very active. He has a Commercial Pilots License with Instrument and Glider ratings and enjoys flying his Cessna 182.

0:00.0	Ladies and gentlemen, good morning. What's up?
0:03.0	Before we get into today's episode, please join me on a little introduction and explanation of the sponsors that make this podcast possible.
0:12.8	Today's episode is brought to you by Kalo. Now if you've never heard of Kalo, they are the maker or makers of
0:19.3	silicone rings made specifically for adventures, workers, dreamers and outdoor enthusiasts with active lifestyles.
0:26.7	I first heard about Kalo when I was working for CrossFit many years ago, like early, early 2010
0:34.4	decade and at first time I saw it was actually on the CrossFit athletes hands. I had a
0:40.8	Platinum wedding band that if I even touched it with anything remotely like a barbell the knurling
0:47.6	It would scuff it. So I would have to take my ring off, put it back on, take my ring off, put it back on and
0:52.2	first off, that's problematic. I almost lost it a few times, but I just sucked and
0:57.6	when I saw the silicone rings on the athletes fingers, I knew it was gonna be amazing. And another thing that I was worried about in my old job
1:05.2	was getting your finger caught with a ring on there and having it degloved. If you want to scare yourself, if you're not that hungry, go ahead and do a little Google and
1:13.2	do a little ring of volition or degloving and you're not gonna like what you have
1:17.8	sit in front of you. So if you wear rings,

1:34.4	occupationally colors, different, I was gonna say settings, but that's not correct. Different patterns. They have a ton of stuff and it allows you to
1:42.4	celebrate whatever it is you were trying to memorialize by wearing that ring.
1:45.8	Risk free to your finger. If you reach that level of attention, it's gonna break as opposed to breaking your finger.
1:51.5	And I'll leave it there. Why don't you go and check it out calo rings.com slash cleared hot.
1:56.0	This episode is also brought to you by fields may produce high quality CBD.
2:01.5	CBD isn't about what you feel. It's about what you don't feel and what I mean by that is stress anxiety and potentially
2:07.2	pain. I've used CBD for all three of those and what I love about it is that the results are nearly immediate.
