<\/a><\/p>\nBill and Ted: \u00a0Dude. \u00a0Knarly movie bro. \u00a0You did some crazy jumps? \u00a0What possesed you do do all that?<\/p>\n
Matthias Girard: \u00a0Nothing will stop me from pursing my passion for skiing and BASE jumping. \u00a0I jump and risk everything to feel alive.<\/p>\n
Bill and Ted: Wow. \u00a0Yeah we were like excellent with the jumps dude.<\/p>\n
Matthias Girard: \u00a0Thanks guys. \u00a0Yes. The crazier the better no matter what.<\/p>\n
Bill and Ted: \u00a0Dude. \u00a0You went to some amazing places to BASE jump.<\/p>\n
Matthias Girard: \u00a0Yes, I did a lot near my home outside Portland. \u00a0But we filmed in France, Iceland and Switzerland.<\/p>\n
Bill and Ted: Right on. \u00a0One of those places looked like Mont Blanc. \u00a0You almost had a crazy wipeout when you caught an edge. \u00a0What was that like?<\/p>\n
Matthias Girard: \u00a0Yeah. \u00a0I almost had a nasty fall but luckily recovered and lived to see another day.<\/p>\n
Bill and Ted: “All we are as dust in the wind, dude” we thought you were a goner. But you kept BASE jumping till eventually that jump that you slammed your head and thigh. \u00a0Bill: I told “Ted, you and I have witnessed many things, but nothing as bodacious as what happened.” \u00a0We were like he is one bodacious dude. \u00a0What was that about?<\/p>\n
Matthias Girard: \u00a0Yeah. \u00a0I didn’t think about the wind blowing me back into the face of the cliff. \u00a0Luckily while I got knocked out, my parachute recovered and flew me down while unconscious. \u00a0I didn’t wake up until the hospital.<\/p>\n
Bill and Ted: Whoa dude. \u00a0But like you have a super chill cool wife and a kid bro. \u00a0Yet you went right back at it and kept BASE jumping and even did the same one 6 years later. \u00a0We were like”strange things are afoot at the Circle K” and wondering why you kept jumping?<\/p>\n
Matthias Girard: \u00a0I just didn’t want to stop. \u00a0Despite my kid and wife. \u00a0Nothing will stop me. \u00a0I need to live my own life.<\/p>\n
Bill and Ted: Wow. Ok dude. \u00a0“Well. \u00a0Be excellent to each other!” \u00a0Next time you are in San Dimas come say hi.<\/p>\n
Matthias Girard: \u00a0Will do guys.<\/p>\n

Bill to Ted. \u00a0Dude…. That was a tough movie to watch. \u00a0I mean there were some amazingly bodacious views and jumps but it was a little much. \u00a0The dude seemed like he had a death wish. \u00a0Probably should be called Super Frenchie’s Persistent Death Wish.” \u00a0I couldn’t figure out why he keeps pushing the envelope.<\/p>\n
Ted to Bill. \u00a0Yeah bro. \u00a0Movie was cool but I don’t need to see it again. \u00a0It was a little uncomfortable to me as he seemed like he had some sort of screw loose.<\/p>\n
Bill to Ted. \u00a0Yeah bro. \u00a0Let’s jam over to the Circle K now.<\/p>\n
