What Drives Me | Work, and a need to be the best, for my product and for my sport. To make a living and build something I can retire on

Winning the world base race last year was the best, the year before they wouldn’t let me enter as I didn’t have enough base jumps, Also when people tell me my suits are the best or i see a competition when my suits won, we won EVERY competition in 2013 (so far) base and Skydiving,

The Difference between good and Great | First you need talent, then you need to apply that to practicing all the time, add the two together and you got a good performer.
