TRIPLE 7 EXPEDITION BREAKS FOUR WORLD RECORDS TO HELP CHILDREN OF AMERICA’S FALLEN HEROES GET AN EDUCATION

Legacy Expedition’s team of nine former special operators break four world records to help the Folds of Honor Foundation provide scholarships to families of fallen military and first responders

AUSTIN, TX, Jan. 16, 2023 – Legacy Expeditions, a veteran-owned extreme expedition company, announces the successful completion of its record-breaking Triple7 Expedition upon landing its seventh skydive in Perth, Australia; finishing all seven jumps in just 6 days, 6 hours, and 6 minutes. The nine former U.S. and Canadian military service members broke three world records. They broke the six-continent skydiving record on January 14, in Abu Dhabi, in 4 days and 10 hours: a record set in 2008 with a time of eight days and seven hours. Then, on January 15, the team set the seven-continent team and tandem skydiving records, previously set in 2019 with a time of six months and four days.

 

 

The Triple7 jump team includes Mike Sarraille, retired Navy SEAL, former Recon Marine, and CEO of Talent War Group; Andy Stumpf, retired Navy SEAL and former wingsuit world record holder. Both Mike and Andy are co-founders of Legacy Expeditions. Also on the team is expedition lead and retired Navy EOD Nick Kush; Fred Williams, former Navy SEAL, President/CEO of Complete Parachute Solutions; Mike Barker, retired Navy SEAL; Logan Stark, former Marine Scout Sniper and Vice President of Media at Black Rifle Coffee Company; Jariko Denman, retired Army Ranger and Director of Media Production at Black Rifle Coffee Company; Glenn Cowan, retired Canada JTF-2 operator and CEO of ONE9 Venture Capital; and Jim Wigginton, former Marine, private equity executive, and the former world record holder of the ‘7 Continent Tandem Record’ that the Triple7 Expedition broke.

 

A feature documentary of the epic, record-setting expedition is in production, anticipated to release in Fall 2023. The documentary crew was led by Dan Myrick, the writer and director of The Blair Witch Project, and cinematographer Kevin Burke.
