2:06 am
or extreme to me means having something out of your control that you're afraid of. it takes about an hour to hike from their house nearby up to the exit. as the jumping off points are called and based jumper jargon, their biggest worry on this day is the weather. time and again, clouds obstruct the view down into the valley. on a den, yes it is. we has clouds and sonali escaped din optimed in shot will be looked at when we make the jump the take off april. we really need the best possible visibility to enable us, monique. and that is to say, no clouds or fog in one mean distance at the very least, you need an opening, then keep to still fluke. so the, the answer to that, then there is the flight itself. know if it's extremely windy, of course, it can be a bit turbulent by the london and logically, the same goes for the landing spring and he can, i may be able to take off and have a good flight. but if there is such strong wind down, there were several valleys come together that i am just moving backwards as soon as
2:07 am
i opened the parachute regret and must not fun at all. these missiles, the ceiling, if it's cloudy, will wait to see if it clears her. what is always some one did in the valley that contrived the clouds away, but we just need a bit of luck on their shots. so far, no luck. the weather is shifting. the openings and the clouds are too small, making the risk too big. they know every nook and cranny of their local mountain and could almost jump without a worry in this sport, almost is still too unsafe. max vander also used to be a base jumper. he has close to 1500 jumps from various mountains under his belt. but in april of 2017, he took his final leave. to day, the real estate developer lives in a small bavarian village on the comparatively safe side of life. he licked is in the saw. the old relics are still there. give to me,
2:08 am
i could sell them off risking that some one else kills themselves with my outfits humbling. the other option would be to throw them away from boswell, and that would be a real shame. you know, there are, after all, memories attached to the suits and not only bad ones. no, she listed above all, they evoked the feeling of flying hulu. so looking at these old wings every now and then is something special to me is out and flew him and vito milan saw the shambles . desantos claudia and marx are now a married couple for his longtime girlfriend. getting out of extreme sports was a condition for accepting his proposal. what it says he should say, monsieur, this youngster lou, it was quite a change to be honest. what law going from being an extreme athlete with you helping from one barbecue party to the next and driving fast cars to driving an electric car and having an electric boat that goes 11 kilometers per hour. what's this horrible hog?
2:09 am
it's nothing dangerous any more. he's mere normal motorcycles, noble, a jumping a vague and diet nettle. so awesome. you could almost say that all of this was an extreme transition to low. max's willingness to take risks increased from year to year and half, let me just one started with noticeable and it got faster and faster. riskier and riskier wants the next step much, why? well, it's already such an extreme sport that the next step is just going closer to the edge. with this boat, you can't make mistakes, get what, and when we became aware of that. yeah, that's when i go scad. this is, it's in, on the one hand of retain has been broken equal, but on the other it has been a relief. america was a life lesson. you found. com. that's exactly for the now 33 year old. it had become a compulsion to keep daring riskier jumps, for example, from the highest mountain in europe. so i used it, i still have some jumps on here that i like to look at again. like this. one of my
2:10 am
favorite jarman from the time at mont. blanca, this is sir. and this job and the flight that follows through these different climate zones. one could almost say you fly past the glazes, then over meadows and pastures, i'm wanna merge them on my them. and then you landed a button in the hate of a summer's day. he wrote divisional omen law live m o. we go from minus 5 degrees celsius at the top to 30 degrees plus at the bottom of plaza. and there are about 3000 meters of altitude difference on exit to landing equal service. it takes forever. and as you can see, for the 1st you are above the clouds, almost like a skydive jumping out of a plane. and only later, these alpine pastures appeared. and the forest is and it's still flying
2:11 am
and more flying blue. it just goes on and on. and then before you just keep lying, i always enjoy these long flights. the most flying was all i ever really wanted to do. that was my main obsession. and it helped hopes assume the sport ended up costing the life of 6 of his comrades and friends. the script isn't alyssa. there's a list with all the people who have died while jumping or, and it's pretty gruesome slim. but you need to scroll all the way down until you see the most recent case. you just keep scrolling past movies, fatalities, and the names that are dead, ma'am and, and everybody knows each other in the scene. it's so small and still the class, he seemed unaffected. by it, and that really made me think med and vicky to thank nick in 0 hope to for our question is, what has to happen for a person to get to that point? what drove me so far, to the point that i had to jump off mountains. to give an example, i simply noticed that when someone had an accident,
2:12 am
when someone died or something bad happened, it left me feeling completely cold. it somehow didn't concern me. we would even go to funerals with our gear in the trunk because we planned to jump off a mountain afterwards, only bergson explained, finds him as a slim service. my, the west was when a man with family had died long basement. there was a photo of him that with his young kid. and the caption said that his family, his wife and his child meant everything to him. and if amelia is an i just thought i left it. no, that's not true. he meant flying meant everything for him, pleading for alice fain with johnny's blonde dog lives in the french house. he is a designer, inventor, and extreme athlete. he was a student at the school of design and paris when his life took an unexpected turn. what started as a thesis became his profession, his sport, and his product. the 51 year old became the roller man. and all the story of the
2:13 am
buggy rollin began as a study of the sense of balance and the look emotion of the human body in space with it on i started off, it didn't occur to me that it could ever become an extreme sport of its own thought it was more a search for something that didn't exist yet than me. you just take a leap into the unknown tupa not even knowing the go g, but you set out on the journey regardless the result of his thesis. a kind of armor fitted with 24 rollers optimized for speeding down steep mountain roads. john eve, milan door has gained a following on social media in the guise of his alter ego rather mer. individual videos of his descent have been clicked more than 27000000 times. yet the hybrid between man and machine has very real feelings and all the way missouri the for. yes, i am certainly afraid, silva. i would say fear is a lifesaver who are still without fear. you wouldn't live very long. the latest

2:16 am
every breaking point must be internalized the difference. there are no run off areas for moments of danger. instead, there is oncoming traffic. that is forced to sit down then left or a small wave, and then a big wave was on the inside of the 1st right curve. you need to turn your body slightly. let me do the same. and the 2nd one only a little tighter. it was also only to push the brakes and exert a bit more. force him. i like john even christoph kehoe. i can use the electric motor to break. that is if everything works of that should help you talk. i feel pretty cam rested and ready to roll. how are you guys? i'm this is a little strange. yeah. but i trust both of them. yeah. i'll be in the middle her. so ali sean e lead me and my father will be behind for safety to the message or to day i'm on. the fog has lifted it's go time
