JC.

- Yo, brother.

- The last climb.

- The only climb.

- The only climb.

JC and Chico.

In Rio de Janeiro.

Rio de Janeiro.

I never thought I was going

to jump here.

F*** yeah.

Here we are.

This is where we're jumping.

- Are you ready, brother?

- Oh, yeah.

Love you man.

I love you, man.

Yeah, buddy. OK.

We're gonna go fly wingsuits.

Closer to the edge, bro.

You gotta clear the lip.

- I'm on the edge, buddy.

- No, no, further down.

I can't. This is it, bro.

No, no, no, that's the step.

- You go from there.

- What, there?

- There.

- What... That's...

Yeah, that's where

you jump from.

Which, where? This one?

- That one, that one.

- That one?

- That little thing?

- Yeah.

No, this is the step,

here, the big one.

- Did you go crazy?

- OK, go, go, go.

- OK, relax, bro.

- Go.

- You're f***ing...

- Man, man, this is the step.

I don't even have close

to one foot on that.

They go from there.

- I'm shitting myself, bro.

- Yeah, me too.

OK, brother.

Let's try again.

Come on.

Further forward.

You're gonna hit the rock.

This is as much as I can go,

bro.

- Are you ready, brother?

- Ready, bro.

F*** it. Go.

Three, two, one, base!

Yeah!

Whoo!

I'm making...

I'm making a movie here.

Of the state of mind and the...

the passion that goes on in...

doing this sport.

You know?

That's what we do.

Everyone I know

films their jumps.

Me, I film all of it.

Then I edit.

Every night,

I take the pieces of my life

and try to fit them all

together.

None of us know

how much time we have.

If you're watching this,

I could already be gone.

Remember every moment.

That's what my father

taught me.

Hey, bro, take this camera.

It looks like Mars.

Wow.

Are you ready, Chico?

Out, in, go!

Yee-hoo!

- Down-winder!

- Whoa!

Yeah!

- Chico...

- That was sick!

...we jumped

everywhere together,

pushing each other

closer and closer to the edge.

I'm waiting for Superman.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane?

I can see you, bro.

South Americans

aren't too good in the snow.

Chico!

Damn!

One of the most

ridiculous things

I have ever done

in my life, man.

Dos cervezas.

Yeah!

What's up, pussies?

- Looking for a ride?

- Hey, get in the car, bro.

Come on.

You're so f***ing slow?

- Hey, I'm Ash.

- What's up?

- Ash, my friend, JC.

- Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Oh, guys you stink.

We're gonna stop at the hotel

and then we're gonna head out.

We stink?

Yeah, I'm the Frenchie,

but you f***ing stink.

Is it your old friend

over there?

Yes, yes, he's...

Where did you find

this specimen?

He looks really special.

F***!

It's dangerous.

- You've got a bus.

- Wait, wait, wait.

We're not going anywhere.

Relax, relax.

We're going nowhere.

Relax, guys.

Come on,

you are jumping off mountains

and you are freaking out

with my driving.

I'm not becoming

a f***ing statistic!

F*** you.

Yeah, so why did I call

you pussies already?

Bro, honestly where did

you find a girl like this?

He didn't find me, I found him.

- I don't doubt it.

- Yeah, yeah.

- Do you know the boat guy?

- Hey, look, look.

- French name.

- Zizi.

What does that mean?

It means you're a dick, bro.

- Where are you taking us?

- Ah, you're gonna love it.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

- Well, guys, do you like it?

- Wow, look at this place.

It's more of a rock

than an island.

- You rock, bro.

- Bye.

I think I left my flipflops.

The black ones?

- Yeah.

- Oh, sh*t, chrie.

Well, he comes back in

three days so it's OK.

Why are you laughing?

- In two days?

- No, three days.

- Three days?

- Oui.

OK.

Do we have everything

we need for three days?

- We'll survive.

- She didn't bring beer.

Do you need a beer to relax?

- Bro, you just p*ssy-whipped.

- What can I do, yeah?

What the f***?!

I take you on an island,

- you can't even appreciate it?

- We're appreciating but...

Will you stop whining

like a baby? Come on!

Yo, bro, honestly,

your girlfriend is the sh*t.

This is special.

That's the word.

Special.

Just look into the camera

all the time.

This is why he needs a friend.

He needs like...

This is special,

that's the word.

Special.

Just look into

the camera all the time.

This is why he needs a friend.

He needs like...

He needs a friend.

He needs like...

He needs a friend.

He needs like...

In the island.

In the language of the French,

everywhere that starts

with a "er"...

You don't pronounce everything.

Yeah, it's pretty efficient.

You say "eu"

at the end of every word.

How do you know?

Because er...

je parle franais en fait.

You speak French?

Motherf***er!

Yeah, your mother taught me,

buddy.

Yo, bro, if sometimes

I make a mother joke,

don't take it too seriously,

because I really love

mother jokes, yeah?

Is that OK?

Because last time

I saw a sunset like this,

I was with your mother.

Oh, my mother is

far away from here.

Dude, you're still filming

everything, huh?

Man, it's my way of

remembering stuff, huh?

What you gonna do with that?

Like, I understand

that you film, like, a little,

but, er... you haven't stopped.

I think part of me is trying

to remember all the lessons

that I learn from

different places,

different moments,

where I've been.

If I look back, if I can do that

and I can see

how I was behaving

and how my mentality was,

if I was happier,

if I wasn't happy,

and then maybe

five years later

I'm doing something different.

Right? Maybe five years later,

maybe I'm stuck in an office

working too much

and I don't get out and I don't

come here and sit on the orca.

And with your umbrella.

And play with a sombrero.

You know, like I can...

I know I will have

f***ed up then.

Sun rises and sets.

Seasons come and go.

But nothing ever changes.

I felt in that moment

that Chico and I

would go on forever.

- Come here.

- Oh, it's like a group hug.

Yeah.

Family hug.

Family hug.

Guys, you're awesome.

Whoo!

I always loved the outdoors.

Camping, climbing,

making fires.

Dad was everything to me.

He was Spider-Man

and Superman.

I thought he was unbreakable.

He wasn't.

Whoa!

Oh!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

High five!

- Yeah!

- Yeah!

Yeah!

- Where are we landing?

- I don't know, there!

Oh, man!

What the f***?!

I thought you were

going for a swim.

He was good.

He was awesome.

You're the only one missing,

Ash,

You're supposed

to do a jump with us.

Yeah, sure.

You know, like this over

the sea and the beach.

Oh, yes, like that.

- Whoo!

- Come on.

From a flying lawnmower?

No, thanks.

Then you get to jump

with two awesome,

good-looking guys like us.

You know?

I've just seen one here, sorry.

You motherfuckers.

Yeah!

How do you feel

with him jumping?

Oh, silence.

Are you actually filming

everything honestly right now?

For being so tough,

you surely have some soft side.

Yeah, I have soft side.

Are you afraid?

Well, aren't you afraid

when you jump?

Of course.

So, yes, of course, I'm afraid.

Maybe you should consider taking
