“This is something that I had for in the military, this public land. So that moment right there was like for now on any chance I get, any route I can take to keep fighting for these lands I’ll do it.”
After a career as a Navy SEAL, Josh Jespersen came home and found comfort in long days outside splitboarding in the mountains of Colorado. Turns out Josh is a bit of a badass and ending up skinning up and snowboarding down all 54 of Colorado’s 14’ers, smashing big-mountain skier Chris Davenport’s previous record of 362 days by doing it in just 138. Now Josh has another challenge at hand and that is fighting to protect the wild places left in this country. This Is An American Hero.
