Welcome to Northwest Backroads. Today we’re coming to you from Skydive Snohomish, a great place for first-time skydivers. Each year millions of Americans jump out of perfectly good airplanes and off of both natural and man-made structures. How come?

As you’ll see in this episode, it’s easy to understand why.

Make sure to check out the videos to meet some pond swoopers in Kapowsin, Wash. Also, we’ll head out to Twin Falls, Idaho and see what base jumping is all about – both the legal and illegal varieties. And losing his legs didn’t prevent this Bremerton man from taking part in a real adventurous activity.
