About this listen

The Lunatic Fringe Book is a collection of all 10 years of monthly articles written for Blue Skies magazine by Dean Ricci, a.k.a. The F***in' Pilot. Blue Skies magazine was the rebel publication. It was the new start-up that went out of its way to try to challenge people, entertain them, piss them off, make them think, keep them safer, and more than anything, embrace the amazing lifestyle that skydiving can offer to those who join its ranks. It pushed back hard at the PC revolution taking place all around and talked about events and subjects that were borderline taboo not only in the sport and the industry, but in the culture.

BSM gave voice to topics and subjects that the establishment either could not or would not talk about as skydiving stretched deeper into the mainstream, requiring a higher level of decorum from those at the top because the stakes kept getting higher and higher. The establishment had to be that way, but we didn’t.

In this book, you'll find stories and memories that span a 10-year career behind the keyboard documenting a more than 26-year career in one of the wildest, most incredible sports and communities that is the driving force behind some absolutely spectacular, over-the-top, and sometimes difficult to believe antics from some of the best and least known members of the airsports world.

Compiled straight from the magazine and put in book form, you can literally see the evolution of the sport as you listen through the more than 90 articles broaching every subject imaginable, and even a few unimaginable. If skydiving is your sport, then this is a must-have, and if skydiving is something you're considering, this will give you quite a sneak peek into who and what it takes to call those blue skies your home.
