Description
Scotty Bob Morgan is different than most athletes I’ve had on the show. His focus on Proximity Flying, one of the most high-risk activities on the planet, creates a life that is different than your traditional action sports athlete. There are no huge paydays, organized ways to get exposure, or even a good way to learn. You need a heavy dose of sky, BASE, and wingsuit experience combined with huge balls in order to live to tell these tales. With a background as a combat photographer and dude that jumps off of everything, Scotty Bob has both. He’s not a household name, but that doesn’t matter, he’s a badass who does crazy shit and is looked at as an innovator in his sport.
