    Default What's Your "Claim to Fame"?

    I think many or all of us have done something that's relatively unique that can make for a neat story. You don't have to indulge in the full story, but maybe if someone asks, you can elaborate.
    I'm thinking something that's safe to say that very few people on the earth have done, but not zero. Like, there's a good chance that you'll never meet someone else who can say the same thing.

    So, what's your claim to fame?


    I'll start with a reasonable one:
    I was at the game to see Wayne Gretzky score his last hat trick. He only managed to get 50 of those.

    I interview a fuck ton of people weekly, and this still comes up a few times a month when people google me even though I really didn’t do anything.

    It’s funny reading the article now, as this shit is the norm these days.

    I really hoped that was the cul-de-sac picture. I remember putting the claw sticker on my EG.

    That's "got some legs"... Is that some sort of accomplished ski jumping reference?
    That's quite aways more than me.

    That's pretty cool. Do you still ski jump or when did you stop jumping?

    My "claim to fame" would probably be having traveled to over 115 countries (plus however many unique territories/islands/break-away regions).

    I stopped jumping when I was 17 and started coaching so I could afford to take up auto x/track days and get a small education. Jumped once or twice here and there since then, still have my gear.

    I duffed a landing at the airport and crashed a plane. Stood it on its nose in a drainage ditch. Walked away like a boss.
