WHY DO WE FLY?

A year ago, a chance encounter brought us to Jamie. 

What began as a collaboration soon became something more.

In Jamie, we found more than a wingsuit pilot. 

We found a traveler who shares something we have always believed: 

the courage to go beyond what we know.

MEET JAMIE

WINGSUIT PILOT / FILMMAKER / TRAVELER 90+ COUNTRIES AND COUNTING

Jamie Leibert — known online as Captain Manicorn — is a professional adventure athlete and filmmaker who climbs into the world's most remote places and flies out by wingsuit, across more than 90 countries and counting.

But for Jamie, travel has never simply been about how far he can go. It's about how fully he can live.

He is the founder of the Battling Monsters movement, run through his nonprofit Just Care More — using the power of adventure to fight for mental health awareness. For Jamie, flight is more than a sport. It's a lens through which he's learned to see what truly matters.

“There were a few years of my life where I wouldn't see the sky for weeks. You learn what you're missing when it's taken away from you.”

— JAMIE LEIBERT

BEYOND WHAT WE KNOW 
IS WHERE THE JOURNEY BEGINS.

A new place. A new experience. A new possibility. 

Perhaps even a new part of ourselves.

Every journey asks us to leave something familiar behind 

and step toward something we haven't yet known.

The unknown will always be there. 

We just have to be willing to go.

THE JOURNEY

30 DAYS IN SWITZERLAND

30 days. 

One van. 

A few good friends. 

And the Swiss Alps ahead.

Jamie came to Switzerland with a simple idea:

FIND THE PERFECT ADVENTURE.

But the best journeys rarely unfold the way we imagine.

The weather changed. 

Plans changed. 

The road had a few surprises of its own.

So they climbed. 

They waited. 

They explored. 

They laughed. 

They tried again.

And somewhere along the way, 

the search for one perfect adventure became something more.

This is where the journey took them.

JAMIE'S JOURNEY

THE CHOICE

SOME JOURNEYS BEGIN 

LONG BEFORE WE LEAVE.

To stay with what we know. 

Or go toward what we don’t.

“Six years ago, when I decided to leave America 

and pursue my dream of being a professional athlete and filmmaker, 

I did just that.

I realized one day that the life I’d always dreamed of could be mine, 

if I was willing to risk everything 

and jump into the unknown.

And it was the best decision I ever made.”

— JAMIE LEIBERT

A new country. 

A different path. 

A dream without guarantees.

BEHIND THE JUMP

The flight lasted minutes. 

Getting there took 30 days.

Here’s what it took to make the journey happen.
