No, we don’t either \u2013 but respect to our new Russian friend Alex Chubarov, who jumped half naked in the snow \u2013 and nailed himself a World Record distinction for it! <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We’ll let you enjoy the story in his own words… <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The story<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes I get crazy ideas…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been practicing with the cold on the ground for a long time. I wanted to test myself if I could do it in the air. Before I started this project I asked if anyone had done this before. It turned out that the answer was no \"\ud83e\udd14\"…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past some guy jumped naked in March 2019, in Yakutsk. But he jumped together with the instructor, as a tandem passenger. And there were no independent jumps in shorts at sub-zero temperatures anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I thought, why not register your experience as a record? And everything worked out!\"\ud83d\udcaa\ud83c\udffc\"\"\ud83e\uddd4\ud83c\udffb\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But to make it work, I needed a versatile training:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • skydiving<\/li>
  • windtunnel<\/li>
  • winter swimming in icy water<\/li>
  • my practices for developing the capabilities of my mind and body. It’s a kind of magic \ud83d\ude42<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    There is a lot of work behind a few minutes of jumping, including overcoming yourself. After all, you need to do something that no one has done before you \"\ud83d\ude46\"  \"\u2642\" \ufe0f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you succeed, you will be a hero. If not, you will be an asshole in the eyes of people \"\ud83d\ude05\". But this is only public opinion… What is happening inside you is much more important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Your true motives, your growth, your development and personal victories, when you become better and stronger every day than you were yesterday \"\ud83d\udcaa\"  \"\ud83e\uddd4\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When I decided I was going to do this, many people thought that I was crazy, so I did not spread about my plans much. It’s really not easy to do something that no one has done before. Despite the fact that no one really supports you yet. All for the same reason, no one did it \"\ud83d\ude04\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
