 I'm going to push this to the point where nobody will want to attempt it. I always wanted to fly, from the time I was a kid. I took this emergency maneuver training program. Well, the first time the instructor demonstrated a full role in the airplane, it was a completely new and different experience. So when you go into an inverted flat spin, you're upside down, you slow the airplane down, you let it stall inverted, you put the power in and that airplane is spinning flat. People spin their whole careers trying to stay out of spins, especially inverted flat spins. It is not flying. The airplane is spinning and falling. Something inside my brain said, Dude, do more of that. I like to ride my bike a lot. Leg muscles are pretty important for the inverted flat spin. Not only do you have to hold the stick in place, stand on the rudder pedal, keep the throttle forward, you have to scan everything, all while maintaining your composure under negative 1.75 Gs. It's a very physical toll on your body. He has to control his blood flow. By controlling the blood flow, that's basically relaxed where you need it. It's just a little disorienting. Your body's not used to your blood moving around in that manner. He's also got to use his gauges to see where he's at, what's happening, keep an eye on altitude, speeds, everything. Panic is the enemy, the deadly enemy of a pilot. When I'm doing these maneuvers, my mental condition is high focus, high discipline. When you're sitting there, going through 5, 6 times the force of gravity, all that blood that's in your head is going down towards your feet. In a negative G scenario, like an inverted flat spin, you're creating blood pressure. Your eyeballs feel like they want to blow out of your head and you're hoping you don't have an aneurysm. The other danger is if I had to recover and something's wrong, I'm still descending. I have a few seconds to either try to recover again or get out of the airplane. Again, this is something people don't normally do. I had a terrible childhood. My parents were divorced at an early age. You know, I raised myself essentially. And the only way I knew how to become successful was to take everything I did to an extreme so that I could do it better than anybody else. Is this an attention-seeking thing? I would say yes. So the very first time I tried to break this record, that was an epic failure. I came so far short. I didn't know why I failed. I had to figure it out for myself. And that started a multi-year research project. Spencer comes up with a plan. I prepared spreadsheets. I tracked data. I made videos. I created algorithms for predicting spin performance based on a number of factors. There's a lot of cameras on the airplane. It's very common for me to fly and think something didn't go right that I couldn't see because I was looking in a different direction. I look at the video later and I'm able to figure, aha, that's what I was doing wrong. My brain works in math and algorithms and putting information together in a way that it creates knowledge and ultimately wisdom. I have data that Spencer has sent me where it's literally broken down into half seconds. Some would look at this and say, this is the sign of a madman. But by tracking all the aircraft performance, how high it went, how many turns per thousand feet engine performance, I'm able to predict what altitude I need to achieve to do that number of spins. Three additional turns. That was kind of a weak effort, wasn't it? I found a very unique airplane that had the same engine as my two-seater, but smaller, lighter, could climb higher and spin faster. And I easily smashed my own record. What did you do? Spin complete. All the way down? All the way down. All the way down. Fucking gnarly. Not only do I want to break a hundred, because to me that's the goal. I need to smash that record. So now the goal is 120 turns from 30,000 feet. Now we're talking about taking this plane that very few people take over 10,000 feet. We're going to try to get it closer to 30,000 feet. If he lost his oxygen up there, it could be catastrophic within 15, 20 seconds. I think there's a common personality that pursues competition flying. Let's face it, breaking world record is about one-upsmanship. Aerobatic eyes are kind of a rare breed. Most pilots don't want to get into a spin. It's just a very unnatural thing to do. A good pilot is not a daredevil who pushes limits beyond a good pilot as someone who understands his limits and respects them. I didn't just go out and break this record on the first try. I failed twice. What failure taught me was I needed to understand this maneuver more than anybody else understands it. The ultimate goal is to do something that people believe can't be done. To show people that if you set your mind to something and you apply a methodical, intelligent approach, you can do anything you want. One thing that scares me is we have a new goal of 120. It comes in 118. I can't tell you what's going to happen.
