Y'all ain't heard nothing like the tale of Deshaun Jordan.
At the tender age of 13, he wrangled his first sponsor.
And by 23, he roped in his childhood dream of being a professional skateboarder.
This dream carried him round the world, living life to the fullest.
In his rookie year, he did the unthinkable and won an SLS.
And let's not forget, he strutted down the runway for Louis Vuitton.
But that ain't all.
Deshaun decided he wanted to make music.
And before long, his music was catching fire.
He worked with Chance the Rapper, Ty Dolla Sign,
and just recently opened for Kid LAROI in front of a sold-out crowd in his hometown.
When we asked Deshaun if there were any NBDs,
you know, never-been-dones, left on his bucket list.
Turns out, he still had one left.
Skydiving.
Actually, the other day, I was figuring out what I had to do this week, bro.
And you sent me that text.
It was like, what'd you say?
You said, skydiving tomorrow at noon.
I was like, oh, shit.
It's real.
I'm really about to go skydiving, bro.
I didn't tell my mom, my sister.
I actually got to call them back.
I'm going skydiving right now.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, I'm about to jump out of a plane, man.
So you make sure the dude is underneath you and you on top.
No.
Oh, no.
So we hit the ground first.
He hit the ground first.
Final decision on whether to make a tandem jump is yours to make.
You may choose not to jump at any time, even during the aircraft flight.
For your own safety, please make a decision to your instructor prior to approaching the aircraft door for exit.
Keep in mind, it is very normal to feel nervous before your first jump.
Ready to do this?
Great.
Let's go skydive.
You guys, come on up.
Yeah, we got harnesses laid out.
I'm going to use the bathroom.
You got to eat it.
Are you ready?
Eat it.
Good job. Nice to meet you.
It's time to step right up.
Left foot and right foot.
Everything's out of your pockets?
Yep.
Hey, man.
Justin's here.
Thank you, sir.
How are you going to come down in one piece?
Max!
All right, guys.
We'll pay attention here.
We'll talk about the skydive.
This is our plane.
We're going to guide you in the plane.
We're going to have you sit right in front of the door of the plane.
It's going to open up.
Full-body arches.
We're going to get out of the plane.
We're about right here.
We're going to tap the shoulders.
Just ready.
Arch.
Show your feet.
All right.
I'm kind of trusting, bro.
You feel me, but...
You guys ready?
Yeah, let's get it.
Show them.
Let's get it.
Right here.
Ready to go skydiving?
Yes, sir.
Let's get ready.
You ready to do this?
Let's get it.
Bro.
Oh, my God.
That was insane.
Craziest shit I ever did, for sure.
Bro, I thought I could do anything.
I thought I could do anything.
Let's go to the nearest set, bro.
I need to go back to Hollywood 16, bro.
Man, I appreciate all y'all.
SLS, man.
That shit was amazing.
Y'all just, man.
I don't even know.
I feel like I could do anything, bro.
That was inspirational.
I just jumped out of a plane.
15,000 feet up is crazy.
Hey, I'm certified.
Hey, I got my certificate.
Boy, I'm certified, man.
It's never too late.
You know what I'm saying?
Never too late.
I like starting the day off good.
Starting the day off great.
I got an NBDS only 120.
