Location: Paria Canyon, Arizona (Exact coordinates emailed after RSVP: safety first, secrecy second)

Ever wanted to combine the thrill of mountain biking with the sheer terror of BASE jumping? Now’s your chance! Join AMTR and Phoenix Fly Ambassadors for our first-ever “Flying the Flake” adventure: strap on a wingsuit, launch off the iconic Paria Canyon cliffs, and soar like a caffeinated flying squirrel over the Arizona desert.

YOUTUBE PREVIEW

Requirements:

  • Must be an expert mountain biker with mastery in braking, cornering, climbing, and descending at top speed.
  • Must have zero fear of death (or strong life insurance coverage).
  • Must enjoy fresh desert air… from 1,000 feet above.

Phoenix Fly Ambassadors will provide wingsuit coaching, but honestly ... your own adrenaline may be the best teacher.

Remember: speed is optional, survival is mandatory (probably).

What to bring:

  • Helmet (a very small one, or a very large one, wingsuit aerodynamics vary).
  • Snacks for the landing (in case you’re hungry mid-flight).
  • A signed waiver and an emergency contact for next of kin.
  • Optional GoPro: You’ll want this footage for bragging rights (or your funeral slideshow).

LIABILITY RELEASE & WAIVER
If you are new to AMTR, please bring a signed waiver to the event or email it to AMTR.Meetup@gmail.com. If you do not sign a waiver, you will not be allowed to join. If you attempt to sneak in anyway, you may be immediately ejected from the canyon by trained desert squirrels.

DISCLAIMER (Read Carefully, Then Update Your Life Insurance)
The Organizer, Assistant Organizers, Volunteers, Ride Leaders, and Event Organizers are absolutely not professional BASE jump guides. By signing up, you acknowledge:

  • You are aware of the extreme risks of launching yourself off a cliff in a squirrel suit, including, but not limited to, broken bones, temporary flight, or permanent un-flight.
  • You assume all risks, including those associated with flying squirrels judging your landing skills.
  • You will not hold AMTR, Phoenix Fly Ambassadors, or any squirrels liable for injuries, death, or existential panic.
  • A signed waiver may not protect your ego, but it should absolve AMTR leadership from any and all liability due to your untimely death.
