Sam Hardy: Systems, Terrain Flying, and Building Repeatable Lines

Devin “Mudcat” Kelly: Purpose, Mortality, and the Philosophy of Flight

For Devin “Mudcat” Kelly, wingsuiting isn’t about chasing adrenaline, it’s about pursuing a meaningful life. In this episode of Leading Edge, Devin challenges the stereotype of the reckless daredevil and explores the deeper questions that flight forces us to confront. We discuss mortality, community, risk, personal growth, and how committing to a path that feels true to yourself can shape everything that follows.

Alexey Galda: Data, Innovation, and the Pursuit of Human Flight Performance

For Alexey Galda, performance flying is more than speed, distance, or time, it’s a quest to understand what’s truly possible. In this episode of Leading Edge, Alexey shares how physics, data, and relentless experimentation have shaped his journey from paraglider pilot to world-class wingsuit competitor and innovator. We explore performance training, wingtip development, in-flight technology, and why breaking complex problems into simple, measurable parts is the key to long-term progress.

Andy Ford: Perspective, Camera Flying, and Capturing Human Flight

For Andy Ford, wingsuiting isn’t just about the flight, it’s about how we see it. In this episode of Leading Edge, Andy shares lessons from 35 years in the sky and 25 years filming wingsuits around the world. We explore the craft behind aerial storytelling, why smooth flying matters more than aggressive movement, and how patience, awareness, and mastering the fundamentals shape both great pilots and great camera flyers.

Alex Knaub: Movement, Body Awareness, and Mastering Control in Flight

For Alex Knaub, wingsuit flying starts with one thing, how you move your body. In this episode of Leading Edge, Alex breaks down the fundamentals of body awareness, from understanding subtle inputs to building real control in the air. We explore why most pilots misunderstand movement, how to train better without the tunnel, and why mastering your body, not just your suit is the key to progression.

Sam Hardy: Systems, Terrain Flying, and Building Repeatable Lines

For Sam Hardy, terrain flying isn’t about getting close, it’s about understanding. In this episode of Leading Edge, Sam breaks down how he turned terrain flying into a system, from analysing glide ratios to building repeatable lines through the mountains. We explore decision-making, energy management, and why slowing down, seeking mentorship, and flying with intent are what truly keep pilots progressing long term.
