The world lost a legend yesterday❤️
“Sketchy” Andy Lewis was a huge proponent of getting me into the world of highlining. When I was first told about the GGBY event in 2016, I immediately started looking up YouTube videos of highlining in Moab. I found myself going down a rabbit hole of insane death defying stunts of Andy’s that filled me to the brim with stoke. Watching him conquer these fears motivated me to make the road trip out to Moab and give it a try for myself after seeing what he was capable of. His giant spacenet was prominently featured in a lot of the GGBY content, and you can see him BASE jumping off it towards the end of this segment in the film. I wish I had gotten a chance to sit down and interview him as part of the film to get some of his perspectives, though I’ll always cherish the few interactions we had and the impact he had on my life. I remember having the opportunity to visit his house my first time in Moab, where they had strung up a tree net in the backyard, which was one of the coolest things I’d seen. I couldn’t help but feel so lucky to have been invited over and welcomed into their space to share an evening with the icon that Andy was. Thank you for being such an inspiration in the sport that’s become such a large part of my life.
