Why did you move to Montana? The mountains. So original, I know. I had a dream once in high school; John Bozeman appeared and whispered the words, “Bridger Bowl.” He then morphed into Dave Chappelle and when I woke up, I knew I must attend higher education in Bozeman, Mont.
Do your future plans involve this area? If I believed in plans they would.
What is a day you will never forget? The day I floated the Mesa Falls double waterfall in a tube.
If you could do anything for a day, what would it be? I would base jump off the Eiffel Tower, land on my bicycle and ride the last stage of the Tour de France, go to a fancy restaurant in Paris with my friends and family and eat about two pounds of shrimp, jump off some cliffs into pristine, blue water and then take a long shower with subtle electronica or Coldplay in the background. I would then be alone for a few hours where I could collect my thoughts, read a good book and work on a piece of writing. Afterward, my friends and I would explore the nightlife and rage thoroughly hard. I would then sleep for an hour, wake up and repeat a similar process all around the world.
A small profile cannot grasp the extremeness of Sam Forsyth. Between rocking out in his band PLD and hanging out with friends, Forsyth practices daily acts of awesomeness. For example, you know those flimsy neon plastic tubes for use in aboveground pools? Forsyth utilized a blue one to go off a huge waterfall just to pop it before the second consecutive gigantic waterfall. Forsyth points out, “I was just happy not to have drowned because for a moment I thought I was going to.” Sam and his friends continued to enjoy two different rope swings, huck meat off several cliffs and tried to feed a cow Nutella.
