This is what I thought while skydiving - The 12 Days of Newness | Ep 10

MY FIRST SKYDIVE: Helen gave me a skydive for my 40th Birthday, but the business went bust during Covid, so I didn’t get to jump. A few years later I decided to give it a go. It’s not really my thing in some respects- spending so much money on a quick thrill. But I also love the idea of freefall. This is my experience of being strapped to a man I’ve never met, and plummeting to earth.

This is Day 10 of 'The 12 Days of Newness'

The line about expensive ordinary thinking is so beautiful to me. Like, you can go and do all this luxurious, privileged stuff and indulge. That's pretty rad. But staying in the clouds literally and metaphorically isn't forever feasible, responsible and most importantly, not what you really want to be doing.
How you came back down to earth to your probably relieved mother and delightful daughter illustrates that so nicely and honestly inspires me to find/create something like that for myself one day.
The way you found the story (as I understand it) about the beauty in everyday life around a damn skydive is surprising & uplifting. Now i'm in a good mood as I go sit in the library again and look at a screen i.o. to become a therapist one day xD
Thanks a lot for existing Beau, greetings from switzerland

May looks quite concerned!!! She sure wanted to get in there and watch everything to make sure it was all according to Hoyle! And your mom is a hoot ... "make sure it's tight, he's not having any more children."

I've been skydiving regularly for decades, and I've never once thought about the similarity between "passion fruit" and "parachute" - but thanks to your mum, now I can't unhear it.

I've made a mental note for next time I go jumping to tell people I'm wearing my passion fruit.

The most surprising thing in this video is that Beau has never made a wooden raft!

With your unbeaten storytelling, I feel like a kid again, full of childhood innocence and unwavering enthusiasm.

Thank you adopted YouTube dad.

I did a tandem jump when I was in Australia about 20 years ago.
I had to wait literally all day to jump as I went with a large group of folks.
The pressure built and built over the hours waiting.
When I finally jumped I screamed so hard, that I dislocated my jaw and spent the entire way down with my mouth locked wide open.
Luckily the footage and photos of that day seem to have gone missing.

Love your vids Beau.
Keep it up!

love watching Beau his attitude to life is just great

Just remember Beau, you don't need a parachute to go skydiving, you need a parachute to go skydiving twice.

I love this guy man quote of the day "I need to return to earth because life here is the best one I know" beautifull

[WilliamWonka]

I just realized this series is almost coming to a close. That’s going to be a real shame, I’m really enjoying this series. Easily the best channel on the YouTube’s.

[smtn]

I'm gutted that there are only two more of this series because they're great! Some total gems in this one - topped off with '...life here is the best one I know'. Goodonya, Beau.

I feel a mother/son video is needed. Love her concern for her family but also stressing the professionals.

[jonathangmeyer]

So glad this series is back after the holiday hiatus, and your mom is just the best!

What I would give to fall to the earth strapped with a passion fruit.
That video was hilarious, I can't believe there are just two more videos in the series

[ButterflyMatt]

Never would have thought that a skydiving video would showcase the excitement but be themed by the home and family. Enjoyable, entertaining and moving.

[Aplusinskal]

What a marvellous, beautiful person the Mum is. Omg. And May is just wonderful! Cheers to the fabulous women in Beaus life! <3

[robdotcom]

Your mum is a real funny one... had me laughing my head off with the "make it firm he's not having any more children..." LOL

[eliasniewerth]

Im enjoying these videos more than it makes sense considering Im watching a dude I dont know, in a place that Ive never been to talk about things that I in my youthfull 23 years of age mostly dont even understand yet. Its peacefull, its motivating and quite calming. Thank you Beau for making so many of my days just a bit more relaxed and insightfull

[stixgrim]

such an iconic mother, doing all the worrying for us :D

[ChristianBehnke]

"He's doing a YouTube for it. They do lots of YouTubes." 😂 Love Beau's mom.

Keep the YouTubes coming!
