yes. the most traditional. find it all at any time. check in with a web special. take a tour of germany state by state on d. w. dot com. everyone welcome to today's special edition of euro max focused on extreme sports is what we'll be seeing today. devil deeds introducing french popcorn champion you are living. the prize before maya could choose go from poland as a top indoor skydiver. and online sensation thrill seekers

mad cow or a huge internet. now when you think of extreme sports it usually involves mountains rivers or even the skies as athletes battle nature to test their limits but that's not the case when you're an ace at pacu up the urban environment provides the obstacle course for free run as they run jump and climb their way of anything and everything and for frenchmen you on live who the rooftops of paris are the perfect playground. you on the roof has only one chance to make this job. there are no safety nets below the rooftops of paris park or is a kind of extreme sport. been doing it professionally since two thousand and nine. he's built a philosophy around. here. is the art of forward motion pushing

limits it involves adapting yourself and your body to a certain environment does becoming obstacles but mentally and physically is its that while. it also means being in continual motion and you want has found an ideal place in the center of paris to get in shape not far from the dusty a pedestrian bridge over the center offers a wide range of opportunities to practice. viewers are advised against trying this at home no matter how easy it looks when you on go strolling across the railings. and feel as if i'm in any kind of an unusual situation know that i have to be especially careful because ultimately just imagine i'm walking a straight line on the ground if i go by that principle i feel no stress. and there's no reason for me to fall as long as i can walk a straight line. but even the most experienced park or athletes slip up every once

in a while. i was holding on at this very spot and went to make a three hundred sixty degree turn when i executed the move i slipped and fell in the water. this bridge is ten meters high fortunately i can swim and i got out of the water by climbing up a notch but i'll definitely remember that mishap forever you know many you can't afford back kind of mistake in this case i was lucky enough to land in the water. so when passers by see him in action how did they react. it is what you want you are some people are curious and ask questions they're interested others don't want to hear anything about it they're scared of what they don't you know. i always try to communicate courage instead of fear and you can watch. them all just sitting there. the park or pro is always on the lookout for

new locations to practice his passion there are plenty of rooftops in paris but it isn't always so easy to reach them. if i live just listing so the roofs of paris are a gray area in legal terms we're told are rated by the people who live there but you aren't allowed to access the routes via private entrances and there's no way to avoid that really. today your aunt has once again found a way up. his concentration before a jump like this is ferocious one wrong move could kill him. he says he doesn't want to think about the dangers. of the fly personally don't connect what i'm doing to death in any way for me that's a very negative concept and you have to be careful employing it with a movie or you can also die just trying to cross the street what extent there are

so many external factors that can be calculated and live with it but when i'm out here on the rooftops then it's just me and my body coping with potential dangers of what others view as dangerous lies at the root of my work with. you one has taken part in many international competitions in two thousand and thirteen he won the world champion title in the discipline he's also founded a french park or team and set up an academy where he teaches others of what he knows. to just go on it's a sport that anyone can practice no matter how old you are or what. kind of shape here and there are no excuses excuses it's about the art of movement and locomotion we all have bodies that we should be using accomplice of age or experience. but no one says you have to start by leaping across paris rooftops. next up is a sport that is uplifting to say the least indoor skydiving if like me you're not

too sure about jumping out of a plane this is the perfect alternative it's just like real skydiving except there's no parachute and no risk of plummeting to certain death when it malfunctions it all takes place in a vertical wind tunnel maya could since gust started skydiving in her early teens and showed us just how to dumps with the wind. this floating dancer earned my own place in sports history with the first ever title or junior world champion in indoor skydiving. in the wind tunnel blows at up to three hundred kilometers an hour every movement is perfect the wind storm doesn't bother the polish athlete she likes it.

obviously it kind of feels like sticking your whole body out of a moving car like it's just the same kind of like air pressure but you can control it so it's nice to work or there's whatever you do your body does in that area but in the space you if. she takes her moves from other sports. fast dynamic twists come from figure skating. long stretches and figures from projects. when my kids in school combines them it looks like she's flying. a favorite figure is the pistol. she devises many of her moves in the tunnel cause she has a completely different sense of how funny when she's. like that at all on the ground. really. so we're flying it's not like you don't catch translate anything from grounds to fly there's

no like skills that except things like flexibility she was inspired to take on the sport by her father a huge fan of extreme sports. meyer joined him for her first parachute jump when she was just ten years old. the father supported her from the beginning this sport isn't. exactly cheap fifteen minutes in the wind tunnel cost up to seventy euro's in poland maya has been training several times a week since she was thirteen indoor skydiving has become the focus of our family's life for those of the systems of others that is what i do this sport to. share so i try to accompany every step of the way. i take care of the organizing i'm kind of like her manager. i look for sponsors who want to work with my mules about me because of on the back into the back country knows about them that's my role in her

career as well. my trains outside of the wind tunnel too and completely without professional coaching. i don't really need it any more i could come up with my own things the people who are at the top of the sport right now are at the top of the sport so we look at our own routines and we are the best judges so we know what's going. on lives in iraq. she has a time she really has time to stroll in town every weekday she's in school until three then she trains or has media appointments on weekends she often travels to competitions there's no time any more financial proceeds. i do miss it sometimes but i think what i'm doing is worth it so. maya kitchens because performance is in the wind tunnel of followed the world over she has numerous online fans. in those kind of living is

a fairly new sport the scene is small and maya wants to reach the top she combat defeat. goes up but our scope is but come out i get you know every setback is like a little tragedy because i always need a few hours to motivate her again and to make it clear to her that this isn't the end of the world it is. maya took second place in the indoor skydiving world championship in twenty seven teams but her ranking isn't common interest i want to try to gravitate more dynamic type of flying i want to be able to show really beautiful moves but at the same time mix them up with like super dynamic fast just you know have like my own different style. is currently the star of european indoors kind i think sponsors are hiring her to appear in

a not isness. no sense from becoming the face of indoors kind of having the well. now we're diving deep underwater usually snorkeling and scuba diving enthusiastic choose tropical locations for their underwater adventures but there are plenty of opportunities in colder climes for instance in iceland where tourists can explore a hidden oasis of lakes among the volcanic landscape reaching them involves quite a bit of hiking so it's best to be in good shape and wrapped up warm if you fancy going on one of these expeditions. so crystal clear that you can see more than one hundred meters throughout. and is home to some of europe's last remaining underwater sequences. in the

players here in europe even brazilian superstar neymar as praised her skills she's a football freestyle and performs at events around the world while football is a team sport she prefers to perform a routine solo and was never interested in actually playing on the pitch. whether she uses her head or her feet tongue gary and kitty shock can do pretty much anything with a soccer ball after all she is one of the world's top football freestylers. the sport involves performing tricks with a ball using most any part of the body coordination balance on ball control are vital the funny thing is that i haven't played football i never. i did cut out there for ten years it has nothing to do with it but i somehow like the traits just the traits not the driving not that of the team play but but the small table the

trick. shot earns her living from these tricks ten years ago she saw a video on the web and tried the moves herself now she trains several hours a day. now is my word is i will be. made. to be the only constant thing in my life that i love them before. she makes appearances around the globe takes part in international tournaments and has won the world championship title four times. including here in tokyo in twenty thirteen. she's met famous athletes like for time formula one world champion sebastian federal and to freestyle football idol. that may be the highlight of my of my respect carrier with me tonight mark in-breath you know we played together

for an economy. and so from three bags to him from trade and he said that you have never seen. any car before that kind of the ball so well like me. kitty shot shows off her ball handling skills in central budapest while her performance could rival any man's many still. her soccer to be a male sport women still earn far less money and public recognition in the freestyle scene knows that people take her seriously but in everyday life a woman who can kick a ball around like she can really stands out. i've played when i was younger and it's a day for mother and i and the youth team and i was about twenty seven probably get on them. that i could never do. mays a better. we'd be home because i like him a much indulge we also have a national football team. for the girls and also

a support group for. kitty shots keeps proving that freestyle football isn't strictly a male domain that's made her a role model for young girls around the world she is already looking forward to the next championships. twenty six years old i have no idea how long i can do this. going on i can't compete. but i try to try to come back. to the tricks that i dreamed of becoming i'm going to be happy even if i mean it's time. once her active career is over shot she wants to work as a coach and hopes that one day freestyle football will become and i'm limping discipline. well i hope to juggle the ball like that some day but i'll have to practice some more at home on
