About Us
Arcana Innovations
Arcana Innovations' story began in mid-2020 when Jake and Charlie first crossed paths on a helicopter, sparking an unexpected friendship through a low pull contest. This chance encounter marked the genesis of their wingsuit team, setting the stage for a transformative journey where both individuals grappled with personal challenges and the delicate balance between life and mortality.
Fueled by a shared passion, Jake and Charlie, alongside the invaluable support of teenager Nate, formed a tight-knit team. Nate's exceptional skills and unwavering dedication quickly earned him the title of a "child prodigy" in the field, playing a pivotal role in the team's success.
With Nate seamlessly fitting into the puzzle, the team soared to new heights, culminating in the establishment of Arcana Innovations. This umbrella company not only epitomizes innovation but also gave birth to A.I.R (Arcana Innovations Rigging), highlighting their unwavering commitment to top-notch rigging practices.
Beyond the realm of skydiving, the team's mission expanded with the creation of the "DntFknDie" movement, embodying a deeper purpose beyond the skies. Arcana Innovations, driven by specialized knowledge and camaraderie, stands as a testament to the transformative power of pursuing passion and supporting one another through life's challenges. It's a narrative of personal and collective growth—a beacon of inspiration for those navigating a similar journey.
Update: As of July 7, 2024 Charlie tragically passed away in a plane crash alongside his friends Scott George and Adam Plummer (Nate’s father). As devastating as it has been, we are pushing forward to continue Charlie’s dream of bringing back the culture and passion for extreme sports, mental health, and community.
About Us
DntFknDie
#DntFknDie
The phrase "DntFknDie" may carry a sense of mystery and controversy, but its meaning extends far beyond the surface. In today's world, we confront challenges like war, famine, poverty, and increasing divisions among people. Since 2020, suicide rates have surged, and deaths due to poor health choices and severe stress are on the rise.
"DntFknDie" isn't just a phrase; it's a movement. It's a message for soldiers who fight for their country, those who return but carry the battle within them. It's for individuals lost in the darkness of their minds, contemplating a single way out. It's for the hardworking fathers with two jobs belittled by society and even harder working mothers who have been left alone to provide for their families. It's for homeless children and misguided teenagers. It's for those who push their boundaries every day in every aspect of life and across various disciplines.
In the realm of adventure sports, individuals willingly take daily risks to push the boundaries of human nature—whether it's jumping, skiing, biking down a mountain, or climbing up. Falling and flying through the sky free like birds. These are the people who challenge themselves on rugged trails, mighty ocean waves, and in various sports on two or four wheels—be it dirt, wood, street, with an engine or not. They do this to free themselves from the chains that society binds them. Chains that the mind binds itself.
"DntFknDie" speaks to the average person struggling to get by. This phrase is intentionally controversial; it's designed to grab your attention and make you think. It's a call to action, urging you to either move away from something negative in your life or move toward a more positive path.
No matter who you are or your circumstances, we all have one life and are dealt a unique hand to play. How we play that hand, regardless of the challenges we face, defines our lives and shapes our destinies.
So, Arcana Innovations extends this message to anyone, everywhere: “DntFknDie.”
