After all living in such a homogeneous culture I find myself often considering normal what the majority would consider absurd or at very least a bit insane. I raise the point though that sanity is all a matter of perspective.

Case in point: Describe your idea of a good time,

A. Jumping off 40′ cliffs into 3 feet of fresh snow

B. Base Jumping from a 2500′ foot cliff in the Swiss Alps

C. Doing double gainers off 80′ cliffs into emerald pools of water

D. All of the above

If you are looking for E. None of the above, this might be a stretch for you to appreciate, but for many of my friends, local acquaintances and Squaw Valley fixture, J.T. Holmes the answer without reservation would be D. All of the above. I have to say that it must be something in the air around Tahoe because J. T. is considered by myself and most of the folks who know him to be just as normal as they come and just an all around talented good guy who enjoys pushing the envelope wherever it may be and having fun while doing so.

Whether you’re willing to stand side by side with J. T. or not you will definitely enjoy watching him show off his wing suit in this 60′ Minutes feature which aired last night:
