Plot Synopsis

Born without legs, photographer, traveler and X Games skier Kevin Michael Connolly travels across America, searching for his next adrenaline fix. Whether he's taking a 40-foot plunge into the Pacific Ocean off a cliff at the Big Island's South Point or learning to become a legless knight in a live-action role playing (LARPing) competition, Kevin embarks on adventures that are difficult and exciting, even for people who aren't legless. In each 30-minute episode, Kevin tours one destination, including: the Great Smoky Mountains, where he climbs a 50-foot tree with lumberjacks, rolls down a hill in a giant Zorb, traverses the daunting class-4 rapids of the Pigeon River on a cataraft, and tosses razor-sharp axes at a target 30 feet away; Hawaii's Big Island, where he studies with a world-champion cliff diver for his attempt at an epic 40-foot cliff dive, skateboards on lava, hits the beach for some surfing, zip lines 300 feet above the jungle and shreds the trails on Mauna Kea with his one-of-a-kind motorized mountain board; Fort Benning, Georgia, where he trains for a week to become an Army Ranger in jump shool, conquering his fear of heights by traversing the historic obstacle course, completing water survival training and learning to skydive; Fort Collins, Colorado, where he builds a custom saddle, learns how to handle a 500-pound horse and wield a 9-foot lance while wearing a full suit of armor, rides a mechanical bull with a jousting coach, and competes in a LARPing competition at the Order of Epona Festival; and many more outrageous adventures across America.
