Growing Bolder Community

50 years ago this summer, Joe Kittinger rode a balloon to the very edge of space and jumped. To commemorate man's longest leap, 50 of the world's best skydivers gathered to honor Kittinger with a very unique tribute, high above the ground.

Growing Bolder is something anyone can do. This is how skydivers do it. It's one of the most inspiring, empowering and unforgettable world records ever.

Growing Bolder is something anyone can do. This is how skydivers do it. It's one of the most inspiring, empowering and unforgettable world records ever, and only Growing Bolder was there to document it.

We're opening up the GB archives to reintroduce you to the late, great Chet Poland. Chet was the world's oldest skydiver when he passed away in his mid-90's. We were fortunate enough to spend a little quality time with him.

Time flies and so does this mother-son skydiving team. Growing Bolder found a unique tandem whose definition of spending quality time together involves taking the plunge at 13,500 feet.
