The Team

On Hold My Leg, Pete is the central subject and co-executive producer. A father of two girls in Medford, Oregon. Once ranked #1 in the world in Big Wave Jet Skiing — regardless of division — until he broke his neck. After losing his leg, Pete built an armor of extreme capability, surviving on grit and refusing to identify as disabled.

On Denali, he treats the expedition as a private war. He solos a dangerous section alone, balancing his life over a thousand-foot cliff on a single prosthetic limb. It takes 21 days, a failed summit attempt, and the man he tried to keep off the team to teach him that roping up isn't admitting defeat.

On Hold My Leg, Vasu is a subject and co-executive producer. The most famous adaptive skier on the planet. Born with a disability, Vasu found skiing early, got hooked, and became an activist in Montana — championing equal access and the radical idea that being disabled is actually just fine.

Invited onto the Denali expedition weeks before departure — without consulting the rest of the team — Vasu "off the couches" the biggest climb of his life. On Denali, he becomes the person who teaches Pete that needing others isn't weakness — it's survival.
