“From the very beginning, ASJ was intended to be a space where people could be authentic about their adventures. We only sought the truth in our pages. Twenty years later we are still seeking the truth about why we test ourselves in magical landscapes. Not to seek danger for danger’s sake, but because we know that without challenge and a measured dose of risk we can’t evolve and progress as human beings.” 🗻⁠ ⁠ Welcome to ASJ Editor-in-Chief Matt Niswonger ’s latest message in Issue #127 (read it in full at the 🔗 in our bio). We invite you to pick up a copy and find the inspiration to push past your own physical and emotional comfort zones! 💓⁠ ⁠ #MyASJ #AdventureSportsJournal #EditorsNote #adventurelife #authenticity

Roy Tuscany suffered a spinal injury in 2006. After his recovery he founded @hi5sfoundation, a non-profit that has helped hundreds of injured athletes and veterans from across the country. ⁠ ⁠ “The massive thing I’ve recognized through this work is that sports are a byproduct of community,” Tuscany explains. “We know that if we can get people back to sport, we can use sport as a vehicle to get them back to community and social interaction. We use sport as a way to integrate people back into … people.”⁠ ⁠ 📸 @ming.t.poon⁠ ⁠ 📖Pick up a copy of our latest issue to enjoy the article in our large print format or click the 🔗 in our bio to read more here. ⬆️⁠ ⁠ #highfivesfoundation #highfivesathletes #accessibility #california #outdoors #community #adaptivesports #palisadestahoe #adventuresportsjournal #myasj
