“Every morning, he would wake up at 4 am, hit the gym, then ride his dirt bike. Also, when he trained in Maryland, he stayed at my house and showed my kids what it means to be an incredible role model. He was first and foremost a brilliant person, then a dedicated worker and thirdly, one tough m—f—.”
After pulling off the stunt in 2022, Archer stated: “I cannot describe this feeling. This is so much more than a trick to me. I’ve dedicated my entire life the last three years to this moment. There were a lot of obstacles and broken bones and knockouts, and I would do it 100 times over to relive that moment again.”
