About the Book

An epic tale that explores the birth of freestyle through the wild life of Eric Hymans, Australian skiing's original bad boy, from skibum to number one to recluse. Son of legendary ski pioneer Bob Hymans, who built the first chair lift in Australia, Eric won two Australian mogul championships. After starting Falls Creek's iconic Team Red with a bunch of talented athletes. This gang was instrumental to the explosion of freestyle skiing during the 1970s and 80s. Establishing the Summit Masters they planted the seed of freedom. Born to fly uncovers the circumstances that made game-changing performers. Plus the relationships that saw an enigmatic character refine his art and ultimately fall from grace. Laced with historical significance and a refreshing candour, this story delivers lessons, wisdom and humour from a freeride elder. About crazy times at the forefront of extreme, along with the perils that exist, between Australia and Europe.

About the Author :
Peter Corney is a visionary, storyteller, freerider. He has published ten Journals and Poetry for the People, a storybook that put skiers, boardriders, bikers and flyers in the same genre. As a pioneer snowboarder he was criticised for putting a skier on the cover of his first edition. He stands up for the greater freeride family. Peter first visited Falls Creek in 1988 and moved there in the autumn of '91. Since then he has lived twenty-six winters at home and thirteen overseas. Chasing snow and working seasons in the USA, Japan, Canada, France, Switzerland and New Zealand. Preacher of the Summit Heartcore International Freeride Tribe (SHIFT), he is a campaigner for everyone to find their own EpicBalance. Creating photo storylines to inspire one-love and equilibrium is a passion, hence his business being called Epicscope and his moniker - Pea Ce.

Review :
'From my generation, Eric Hymans was one of the real characters of the Falls Creek community.' Steven Lee - Champion skier 'Some very good writing and sensational memories... Nice work, you've captured an era.' Jim Darby - Editor of The Ski Mag 'A truly great presentation of a deeply passionate and complex friend. You have done him proud with your words... and have managed in the same breath, to give some honour to many people who shared his journey... not an easy feat.' Katie Steven - Champion Team Red Skier 'Born to Fly is a beautifully crafted portrait of Eric Hymans. It shows the sheer gravity of success Hymans' achieved and the difficulty of maintaining such success. Raw, honest, and emotional. 'Born to Fly' highlights not only the rise of freestyle skiing, but the journey of its foremost athlete. Readers will be captivated and inspired.' Ashley Pascual - Senior Editor at Austin Macauley
