Shanie, I’m glad you were able to read this. Sorry for the delayed reply.

Originally this piece ran as a pair of very long articles, that were, unfortunately, note getting the attention they deserved. You can find the first one here: http://matadortravel.com/travel-writing/united-states/innovators/feeling-gravitys-pull-chapters-1-2?page=0%2C0

that has links to the second half of the story.

it’s good to ‘meet’ you. interviewing tal and getting to know about this special group of people has been one of the biggest privileges of my career as a writer.

Where’s the info about the man, PAPA BEAR, J. LOUIS, the one and Jimbo Fritsch, he brought primal together, he was the owner of Primal Instinct bungee, he deserves all the credit, he was/is a father figure to all of us, mentor, and friend.

Good read, but none of this would’ve ever been without jimbo.

As a girl that got to be a part of the crew, I feel so lucky that I was able to spend unforgettable time with the best of the best. Gambler, MC, Dano, all souls that are sorely missed and thought of every day. Thanks for a great article that brought tears to my eyes, a choking feeling to my throat and a flood of never-to-be-forgotten memories of great times. Love ya Tal, Jimbo, Quinner, Senior…big bear hugs to the Tahoe Tribe.

This was a great read. There is more to MC than what was posted though. He attended Milton Hershey School, a boarding school for children with no parents or single parents in financial dispair. MC was friends to everyone there and he is truly missed by the lives he touched. I skiied with MC when I was just starting out, on a small bump of a mountain in Pennsylvania called Ski Round Top. He and another good friend of ours, Jerry Stevenson taught me how to ski and I will never forget those weekend trips we had. R.I.P. MC!!!
