One has only to talk to Clair Halliday few minutes before realizing he found a power in a miniature package. She has not afraid of what some may consider disturbing questions, while sifting through the rumors and insinuations of the rectum. It will ensure that the perception to their departure, it presents itself. In summary, Claire is a young woman with an insane drive and determination that are usually established to characterize the men in a park asphalt, not a woman of 5'4, 105 pounds attractive. If ever there was one guy who had this "do" spirit, Clear Halliday.

Make no mistake, Bright is a woman as she speaks their marriage, her husband, sewing, fashion design, facials home, kitchen, Plans for a family and a new home with the same ease that speaks of adventure sports, the relegation zone, their SV 650 S motorcycle shot and ass up in general. Clair is the second oldest of nine brothers and sisters, she understands what it takes to excel in the crowd and stand against all rivals. Nicholas children were educated at home, with Clair to begin classes at community college at 14, before graduation school at the age of 16. After graduating early presented its endless hours of their days filled cavity, so I started rock climbing to occupy a portion of their time, attention quickly moved to the base jump. He then worked as a porter in a drop zone and Start your parachute. She faces one of the roadblocks along the way because of their desire for independence at a young age, can not sign a lease for an apartment or work on opening a current account, only two obstacles. Clair found himself wishing the responsibilities of the age adult, but slowed in their search for "Rules and regulations."

Its sole objective of BASE jumping, which was "the absence of rules or the regulations, has become a reality at the age of 16 years, the BASE jumper contacted Jimmy Halliday and had "the talk" with her mother. "I said and she responded," There are "No, I said then" I would lose the opportunity of my life, "and she agreed. Clair and her boyfriend, then Chris, has led to meet Jimmy Halliday in August 2005, met for an hour and a half with Jimmy before the date of the jump. The next day, Jimmy Claire speaks on how the jump would go as he made his parachute. He made a few demos that should look like the door and then headed to a local branch. Chris, Jimmy's girlfriend at the time Melissa and some of the relegation zone Lodi attending their first jump. The antenna was 480 and was "not considered whether it was" quite high, Jimmy ran branch instructions one last time. It was handheld, with a wide open field to land, re-telling jokes in the history of some obstacles that were present that day, to namely, cows, cows fear that fears Hank Caylor monkey.

A year later, after Jimmy had thrown a few more objects Clair, both were free Clear previous relationships and has decided that there was no preferred age, Jimmy has found a woman who shared his passions and dreams. The couple endured with personal criticism of foreigners who have tried, often throwing stones on the Internet without having met the couple. Overall, nearly three years of marriage and business partnership by opening their own drop zone in California, has traveled the world and have set their sights on buying a house and raise a family. Clair would not be less than the transcript of her husband, returned to college and study to graduate in chemistry and fashion design. His goal is to continue his studies for the pharmaceutical industry and license, she exclaims: "Is it lot of education. "I told him I have a feeling that something you really want to achieve, you can do. His answer:" Of course will. "

1. Remember when on the search for a teacher to learn BASE jumping.

I contacted another city to start some of my trip BASE jumping. Here are some tips to offer, such as learning the first jump, the other never responded my question, others have told me I was stupid and die before I was old enough to drink alcohol. I met one of the videos of Jimmy and his e-mail address is in the back of the pack. We talked several times before it commits to me, having a base jump. He said from the beginning he wanted to meet me first and has become very clear that if there is no sign that he loved, and I the opportunity to learn from him has been finished, with immediate effect. I like the attitude towards education and commitment with his teaching style suited me. When Jimmy told me that I would jump if he thought she could not take responsibility, I been convinced that not only possible, but I found the right person to teach me. I also felt that I gave for the right reasons, because I was a talented athlete. Not because he wanted to make a beautiful baby daughter.

2. What was happening in his mind in his first base jump?

There was a normal amount of nervousness, but I've never been afraid. I was standing on the edge of conducting a handrail on and never came to mind I was not going to do, but about a while taking note of the time. I remember try to have some time for me to go ahead and jump, my heart was beating hard and when I did the countdown 3,2,1 my heart go. I remember laughing and thinking "Oh my God I almost jumped." Once I did I felt euphoric and jumping excitedly. When I got there and the guy next time he landed behind me, all I could say was: "I have to do it again."

3. When someone contacts you personally and asked what is being taught to base jump, what advice can you offer?

I can receive e-mails every day from a wide range of people of all ages. All this I offer the same advice is to learn to skydive and get a first experience of a few drinks under his belt. If you still think BASE jumping is for them, then having to follow for the next step. I normally receive negative feedback response of these individuals as they came to me thinking that I teach them when I came in sport who have no experience of skydiving.

4. Have you ever been stopped at a jump? If yes, how can we treat?

Once I was arrested just after 18 years. When I look back, I was surprised by the calm and collected I was when it happened. I was a little sad because the police have my computer, but everything proved OK. The police never presented my ticket to the step "load and" evading a peace officer " I received my computer a year later, when the statute of limitations ran out. I am currently avoiding jumps of factors that bust up that I feel I have a reputation being a business owner, my public school and I prefer not to be "the bridge" on the news.

5. What is your training when it was proposed to learn the "how" BASE jumping?

As I said earlier I have not had much training for my first jump. Was progress and all learning situations. My first jump I learned of the parachute is open and what to expect when I jumped off the goal. They told me how to restart my pilot chute and once it breaks open how unstow and turn the earth. I was very pleased that Jimmy does not fill me with much information that does confuse me. Throughout my jumps following Jimmy taught me more each time adding to my knowledge.

6. How long after the beginning BASE jump start your parachute?

BASE jumping began August 05 and had a total of eight basic jumps before I have my tandem jump mid-September. I did a tandem second at the end of September. When I took the online course has been static at the end of October and I already recorded 15 BASE jumps.

7. How to respond to bridges that say you should never have learned to do before learning BASE parachute?

In a sense, I know what people thought when they heard what he was doing, but at the same time very few people knew exactly what was happening and how much thought has been put in my first leap year. Most people thought that I had no idea, reckless and felt the same thing about Jimmy by telling me. Everything was carefully planned and designed for both. I do not want to hurt you and no would be trouble. I learned to base jump in perfect condition with wide open landing areas, where I had the least risk to my jumps safely and successfully.

8. How do you respond to critics who were too young to be "spending time with her husband today, peer bridges? Or the thought process that women should not be taught by male colleagues, where there relationship?

I think most people speak or jealousy, because nobody had the courage to teach me, but once Jimmy got taken under his protection, people have started attacking the formulation of hypotheses gross. After serving 18 years, No one said a word about us being "stupid about it" and suddenly people have expressed their support for us as it was then a married couple. When I Jimmy and contacted during the two years he taught me how to base jump, we were not in a relationship, at least not together. It would be entrusted to Jimmy to teach me my parachute or a package or plan my breaks if I felt that it was committed to my safety and success. I do not think that the friends of Jimmy and his colleague bridges have agreed to go with me, so do not believe in me, as Jimmy did.

9. As you know, a thread in a database forum jump placed her name in the game that he learned how to present themselves before the BASE jumping. You told me in our first conversation that "the Internet gives people a false sense of confidence because they must show their faces. "Given the opportunity meet here and now, what do you mean?

People are very critical and rude to express their opinions when it comes how I learned to base jump. The Internet is giving people a false confidence. They can say what they want and be protected by their user names in the thread. I said from the beginning, and now I have met many people wrong with my mouth in the forums how I learned.

"Neither one of them said a word to my face that I thought. "

I find it insulting these people have very strong opinions and had no problem saying that the Internet, but when confronted with the person who acted as if never said a word. Continues to act as if I had pressed all the time, which I learned a BASE jump. Almost all the bridges of paratroopers based who have experienced or have read what people say about us. If people make assumptions about us before we encounter, then it is good to know.

The presentation the forum shows how little people really know me personally or Jimmy or our situation. I used to get angry when people seemed to think that the reason is just that we're together, "because I am a girl who moves in love with the guy who taught me to jump and Jimmy is that dirty old man is taking advantage of my situation. "I think the fact that they all went at once to assume it was about sex, shows that on their mind and where there morals lie, not ours. These allegations speak more on the record, then one is the name of or on. The People may think what they want, Jimmy and I know the truth. We're happy together to achieve our individual goals and dreams of the family.

10. What was the reaction of your family for your search for BASE jumping and skydiving?

His first reaction was that I was rash and foolish, but when was high in both sports recognized risk assessment and careful planning of each step. Now I supported and actually went to see me jump. Although I have nothing to do now surprised. Each of my brothers have interests very different sports from nothing at all, snow sports and skating. Since I started I spoke to sky dive some of them to try. My older brother, Harrison and one of my younger sisters Madelyn jumped away, and my mother. We were all very well, but I do not find the parachute jump or base is one of the best options for the sport to follow. They simply do not share my love for Passage over the edge.

11. What are the activities you enjoy outside of sports?

I am very involved in activities can not be regarded as a sport, like my favorite sewing and painting. I make clothes for a while now and I love it. Painting is something I find very soothing and relaxes me. I also love motorcycles. I have a SV 650 S is my baby. I am a college student. Some days, I relax and do my own home spa with clay masks or that I do like to read a book while swinging in a hammock or take a nap.

12. You wear many hats these days, "Wife", "Base Jumper", "AFF instructor," cameraman "" Students "," Drop Zone owner. "How to maintain the balance in your life?

There is difficult to juggle my work with my game is really a question of being responsible to some extent with my stuff and get what you need to do first and play later. Of course, much of my work is fun too, but the stationery and office time is not funny at all. I try always have time for me to stay calm and stay calm, to do my best in every part of my life.

13. Is you stay as active after adding "mother" in their titles?

Jimmy and I talked about having children for some time and I definitely want to start adding to our family. Now he will have 9 children and my family, which is a bit too big for us, but we want more than one child.

I see myself continuing with the basic parachute and children in our lives. I think I'll calm down a little and take at levels that I do now. I will be more likely to be more careful with the conditions I'm bored.

14. There was a time in your life you doubt reached goals? In achieving its objectives that you consider yourself a role model for girls?

There was never a time when I could not achieve my goals. I had moments where it was much more difficult after what I had originally planned. I learned over time is that when I have a goal in mind, no matter how quickly do, but I'm constantly taking measures against him.

I consider myself as an example for young women. I think what I realized during a step is not so easy in my life is a great success. Now I have an interesting perspective on what it takes to succeed in a very early age that I can share.

15. The name of a woman I admire most and why do it.

My grandmother. It was an inspiration to me as a woman, when I was growing and continues to this day it is. He spent most of his childhood in an orphanage after his mother was abandoned because it could not take care of her. She was very independent from a young age and knew what he wanted from life and worked very hard. She always told me that I could accomplish what he wanted, with a lot of work motivation and passion. She married my grandfather at the age of 25 years and have been together for almost 60 years.

2. What is the motivation the tattoo on the back of your head?

The tattoo says, it means HIDGAF Honestly, I Do not Give AF * ck. The adage was released into the relegation zone for many friends. When I decided I wanted a tattoo I was in the area release and only had short hair dyed red hair the craziest color Neon Rose by accident, as it was supposed to be a dark black / purple. I wanted to get rid of him and would not return to the store for the dye. Jimmy was standing next to me and said that it would be incredible if I shave his head. I told him to leave and he, of course, is super excited. Once shaved told him it would be nice if I have a tattoo on my head because I do not know how times you really shave.

Jimmy Halliday Question: What Clair've seen what do you agreed to teach him to jump and then continue with it?

Clair and I debate through e-mails before they ever met. Through e-mails that I was very impressed. She convinced me that although she was only 16 years, has made risks involved in sport and was willing to accept those risks in achieving their goals.

I remember him asking questions on his sporting past: it calls its history to learn to base jump like a young age?

She said: "Last winter, they finally got a back flip on my snowboard after landing rare in my neck many times. "

Keep in mind, BASE jumpers have very little athletic ability to land a back flip on a snowboard.

So I decided to meet with the caveat that if I felt insecure about his ability, should I not on the next page. In other words, I have made no promises.

When we met, she looked into my eyes, I shook hands with confidence, and introduced himself. This time, I knew I could do it. And obviously, I was right.

My decision to help realize their dreams led Clear line a very public debate about my motivations. Never cared for what they say. I am competent to teach and Clair BASE jumping was a student more than competent. Clair is an incredible athlete and as he was ready to accept the risks involved in the sport, I was ready to accept the risks associated with teaching. With our determination and willingness to take risks, I think we've made our mark on current developments in the sport of BASE jumping.
