Frank JUMPS off a MOUNTAIN for the first time!!
We take Frank paragliding off the Teton mountain range in Wyoming for a day high above the American West.
Episode 03
Pull up a log.
Frank had two feet on solid ground. Then he met Nate.
Every Wilder Heart episode takes a guest somewhere they've never been. Episode three takes Frank Dobbins into the Wyoming mountains for a first he never saw coming: strapping into a paraglider and stepping off the edge.
What happens between the gearing up and the landing is the whole episode. The nerves on the way up. The talk at launch. The moment the ground stops being underneath you, and the look on Frank's face when it does.
