Let's do this, boss.
Get on over there and listen to Bearded Boy.
Shoulders, knees, toes, point them at me.
Eye contact all the way down.
If you have Link on the way down, your soul is mine.
Bouncing up and down. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Hey guys, what's going on? Good morning.
I'm super excited today.
I am here in California with my friend.
We are celebrating his birthday.
He's going to do something really crazy.
We're going to hike and then once we're done hiking,
we're going to get to a certain spot.
We're going to hike about 10 miles round trip.
The weather is crazy. It's like low 40s.
What is it? 43?
Yeah, it's super cold.
Good morning, chicas.
Ready for the adventure?
Yes.
We made it to the trailhead.
We're going to start hiking now.
Let's check with the birthday boy.
Hey.
He's turning 40.
To celebrate, he's going to do something really crazy.
I'm here only for support.
I'm not doing it. I'm just going to hike with him
and just show you guys what this crazy man is about to do.
Tell me how you're feeling.
I'm excited. I'm super excited.
A little bit nervous, I'm not going to lie.
But I know it's going to be fun.
Are you jumping?
Hell no.
Are you jumping?
Of course not.
7.30 a.m. and it feels like it's 30 degrees outside.
It's really not.
But it must be low 40s.
For sure, like 43.
We're getting ready to get this hike started.
Super excited for my friend over here.
And it's going to be good.
It's going to be good.
I know it's going to be good.
An adventure that I had here with my friend.
Who was lost.
Lost, lost.
But here we are.
The reason why we're here is because we're going to see
someone really crazy.
Literally.
No manches, it's ice.
It's frozen.
Alright guys, so we completed the easy part of this hike.
The next 5 miles are going to be intense.
We're going to be crossing the river 6 times each way.
So that's going to be 12 times.
We are going to get wet.
So, yeah.
Let's get started with this.
How cold do you think the water is?
Probably like 30 degrees.
We are now walking on this freezing water.
It's not that bad actually.
Yeah, it is pretty bad.
Well, I survived.
We survived.
1 out of 12 crossings.
So far, so good.
I'm not dead yet.
And I don't have hypothermia yet.
Is that the word?
Yeah.
Alright guys.
They just told me that the first one didn't count.
That was just a trickle, he said.
We didn't actually cross the river.
So that was the first one right there.
It was fun honestly.
It woke me up.
I'm not cold anymore.
Are you cold?
No.
I don't feel ----.
I think I'm numb.
It was good.
It was fun.
Good times.
We have 4 more crossings and 2.5 miles to get to the Bridge of Nowhere.
I feel good.
Not cold anymore.
It actually feels good coming out of the water.
So, not too bad.
I'm feeling good.
Let's check with the girls.
Do you know her?
Yes.
You can find the link to my merchandise in the description down below.
How are you?
How's the hike going?
Oh, super.
It's great.
It's not as cold as we thought.
Yeah, the cold is gone.
Let's check in with the birthday boy.
Are you excited for your jump?
Yeah.
You have to do it now.
Everybody is expecting it.
I know.
Yeah, I can't back out.
Yeah, you cannot.
Everybody is going to laugh at you.
So, we are almost there you guys.
This is the last crossing.
And then, this guy is going to jump.
Is that the last one?
Yeah, this is the last one.
It's actually really enjoyable.
I like this.
I thought it was going to be more brutal.
Crossing the water in this cold weather.
But, it's actually really nice.
So, I encourage anybody to do something like this.
You guys are going to love it.
Okay, let's do this last one.
Last one.
He wants to go swimming.
We did it.
I'm excited.
I'm going to see this guy jump.
It's going to be great.
So, after the last river crossing, we still have one more mile to go.
So, we should be there very soon.
This hike is honestly not hard.
I guess the most difficult part about it is that you...
Well, now the weather is cold.
And, you know, the water is a little cold.
But, it's really not bad at all.
It's actually fun.
It feels good.
And, I can imagine what it's like during a hotter day.
It must be really nice.
I'm enjoying it so far.
Just a little longer.
And, then we'll get to the happy ending.
Finally.
The moment we all have been waiting for.
I can see the bridge right there.
Do you see the bridge, Ponce?
Yeah.
What is going through your head right now?
Tell me.
Rush.
Just adrenaline.
But, I'm ready.
I hope he's ready.
I just want you to know that it was nice knowing you.
If you don't make it past today,
I want you to know that I appreciate you a lot.
I won't cry because you wanted this.
That sucks.
You'll be fine.
He got this, right?
He got this.
Look at it.
Yeah.
It's crazy.
That looks crazy.
Ponce is getting ready to jump right now.
And, I want to get the best shot for him and for you guys.
So, I'm going under the bridge.
Well, maybe not under the bridge.
I'm going down there to get a better view.
Oh, that looks so freaking amazing.
Sit on the-
Would you consider yourself a back flip, baby?
Maybe.
Maybe, yeah.
Can I get a-
Oh, my God.
Woo!
All right.
So, hand right over here.
Oh, no.
I don't have it there.
All right.
Shoulders, knees, toes.
Perfect.
Eye contact until you flip.
All right?
Bouncing up and down.
Five, four, three, two, one.
We're all searching for that open door.
Show me proof that there is something more.
I just hope I am okay with the choices I make.
Maybe then I'll understand.
You said I'd fly away.
But my words have kept me down.
Now I'm lost and I'm afraid.
And I'm close to hit the ground.
You said I'd fly away.
You said I'd fly anyway.
You did it!
I did it!
You did it!
I did it.
So proud of you.
That was fun.
Yeah?
That was fun.
Good job.
It was a little scary, I'm not gonna lie.
Especially doing the back flip.
Oh, my gosh.
But it was fun.
You killed it.
It was amazing.
Did you get it?
I'm gonna make you wait until this video gets released.
I'm kidding.
You did awesome.
Happy birthday!
Thank you.

Adrenaline to the max.

You gotta do it.
