Strange had called in to "Kevin & Bean" on KROQ on Monday from Switzerland to say he was shooting a dangerous video where "we fly super close to stuff." After the K&B interview, Strange shot a video while wingsuiting and posted it to social media. On Sunday, October 4, a paddle out will be held by friends of Strange at Zuma Beach, in honor of his memory. Photo of John Strange and his views on climbing the seven summits.
