About this episode

Flynn Chisholm discusses the extreme sport of death diving and the mindset behind it.

Flynn Chisholm, or as he is known by his 121,000 Instagram followers, "Fizzy Sends" is the New Zealand record holder in a breath-taking activity known as “death diving.” He is also a speed climber. And at this time of releasing this episode he is about to attempt a record for the most pull ups. Flynn is one of New Zealand’s most exciting extreme athletes.   In this podcast, Flynn shares the mindset, discipline, and faith behind a sport that most people (me included) don’t understand and can’t even comprehend. Some of the stuff we discuss includes: + What death diving actually is. And why it’s growing worldwide + The mental process before stepping off a 40m cliff + How he assesses risk before taking each jump. + Why he doesn’t read comments and how he handles criticism + The injuries he’s faced (including temporary blindness and concussions) And much more. This is one of those episodes where you will hopefully get a greater understanding about something you may not known much about.   Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
