ah, virgin of the rocks. was there another symbolic meaning to this beautiful painting that perhaps we just don't understand? the search for answers from the phone with us. you've got any issues or thoughts, they will credit you for free. do one. mm hm. why do people do extreme sports?

did this you did decide to take my train every day, walk doing what i love to get along with people go to the edge for different reasons. a j dean fast enough and our husband, ziemen vonda are based jumpers. they dive off cliffs into the depths below them with you, thanks to their wing suits. they can glide through the air before releasing a parachute for landing in montana, montana. i got the nickname bird woman because i love flying sca jim says, but my earliest my life is all about fly taking off from the mountain feels more natural to me than jumping out of the plainly, the piano. according to the

statistics, there is a one. it's 60 chance of dying while base jumping. despite this jet idea fast not believes that danger is controllable. the pin fallacy. when you jump off a rock face, it's all about nature, dearly humpy, you high top climb, look at the animal, feel the air in a sense if the conditions are right, if you are, then you change your flight path over the terrain. you put on the wing sis and get ready, or we thought everything becomes calm and quiet and then you fly away. so really the 40 year old has spent more than half her life jumping off mountains all over the world. and nowadays, she's accompanied by her husband, mit island, pardon that. it didn't rest from dynamo label to the building and it does was the emotion spending the rest of your life with someone who doesn't understand what we do would be completely impossible wound. a dust was on to ma hm. is not to do to

should stay by, there's no way it would work out in the long run. i should been domina, and that ignited be seen, but doing this together is great. should stick assuring what you love doing with your partner is a best thing of all this money. the smart is not too late to sir. does hooks to the daniel bass jumping isn't the only thing jack harding fast now? ends the morn, bundle a share. their son already just turned one and a half to repent of you. but when parents had up into the mountains, little audience has to stay behind in the valley. meanwhile, july, dean's mother takes over the babysitting duties. w. o. o. dad, i enjoy dean's mind. her sport is not about playing dice with death, but fulfilling

a dream. she did this got the bundle, but i hate it when people talk about extreme sport to being real quick. it's a sport that requires a lot of feeling, a lot of gentleness, knowing yourself and your own limits. yet on that here, you must also know how to step back and say no it's, there were times when i couldn't continue her. when i was pregnant, i stopped flying in the 3rd trimester after giving birth, it took me awhile to figure out if i even wanted to start again or not. 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 din, yes it is. we has clouds and sadly escaped din optimed in shot will be later when

we make the jump. but take our fate brow. we really need the best possible visibility enabled us, monique. and that is to say, no clouds or fog him on mean distance at the very least, you need an opening. don't keep just in fluke. so the lens are to the, then there is the flight itself. know if it's extremely windy, of course, it can be a bit turbulent by the london in logically, the same goes for the landing spring and you 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'm just moving backwards as soon as i opened the parachute regret and less not fun at all. miss lucy, sitting if it's cloudy, will wait to see if it clears her. what is always soon when did the valley that contrived the clouds away, but we just need a bit of luck on that. a shot. 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, isn't the thought the old relics are still there. give to me, i could sell them off. so risking that some one else kills themselves with my outfits ongoing. the other option would be to throw them away from boswell, and that would be a real shame here. oh, there are, after all, memories attached to the suits and not only bad ones, much listed above all, they evoke 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 unbeatable answers. i wish almost

the sun roof. claudia and marks are now a married couple for his longtime girlfriend, getting out of extreme sports was a condition for accepting his proposal. what i'd say shuts him here soon as youngster long it was quite a change to be honest. what law going from bay and extreme athletes with you for 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 elf hot hog? it's nothing dangerous. any more, his men, no more motorcycles, no go jumping a vague and diet unable. so awesome. you could almost say that all of this was an extreme transition to look at. max's willingness to take risks increased from year to year at mid wonder, why don't it 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 her attain has been broken off, but on the other it has been a relief america. so i thought there's a new 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 usually, yeah, i still have some jumps on here that i like to look at again. like this. one of my 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 what's on the merge them and then you landed a button in the heat of a summer's day. if you go visa. mm hm. i'm in law live and oh,

we go from minus 5 degrees celsius at the top or to 30 degrees plus the and this message to us is and there are about 3000 meters of altitude difference from exit to landing eagles of x. it takes forever and as you can see for 1st you are above the clouds, almost like a skydive jumping out of a plane. and only later, these alpine pastures appear and the forest and this and it's still flying and more flying blue. it just goes on and on, and then before you just keep flying, i always enjoyed 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 is on a list, if there's a list with all the people who have died while jumping or, and it's pretty gruesome, slim that 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, which is so small and still the class. he seemed unaffected by it. and that really made me face mid and vicky to thank me again 0, hockey 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, 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 big. it's explained funds him as a slim service. my. the west was when a man with family had died long bergman. there was a photo of him that with his young kid and the captions said that his family, his wife and his child meant everything to him. and if amelia's and i just thought

i lost it, no, that's not true. he meant flying meant everything for him, pleading for alice fain with john eve blown dog lives in the french alps, user designer, inventor, and extreme athlete. he was a student at the school of design in 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 buggy rollin began as a study of the sense of balance and the locomotion of the human body in space. for the pan 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 long door has gained a following on social media in the guise of his alter ego. rather mat, individual videos of his descent had been clicked more than 27000000 times. yet the hybrid between man and machine has very real feelings away. missouri tougher. yes. i am certainly afraid cell, but i would say fear is a lifesaver who are still without fear. you wouldn't live very long. the latest innovation from his workshop, an electric drive that also makes rolling possible on a level surface. his friend and collaborator, kristof underwriter, is helping to develop the controls with his daughter. kyla, is about to test the prototype. the 17 year old has been rolling since she was 9. 0, to did. yeah. she kumasi saw at 1st i wrote without electric,

which was fine. i see my but the fact is when it gets dangerous, it's easy to break with the electric version. we're ag, the test run is to take place on the coil daily shore. half way between abbey, in an se, made of plastic aluminum alloy, ice, steel and carbon. the suit alone weighs about 15 kilos. and that's without the electronics in light skates and helmet. but the descent today seems problematic. at the top of the pass, the mountain disappears into the fog, which could make their venture to risky. watson, it's a bit wet. was it bill attorney then? oh, do we hurry? until we go down to honesty. i don't know the forecast is it's cold and rainy walk so i think it will get worse. i dont know. the question is can we roll if it stays wipers? little oh and they want to give it a shot. everything has to be prepared in case the fog lifts. lemme to

your vinegar. see to tell her alchemy before we came it cleared up and now it's cloudy. we have 2 problems for the traction and the visibility. yeah. if you have drops of water on the visor, well you can listen potent details validated and your field of vision isn't very big anyway, or now. so on slurry, on top of that sarah, it's not exactly good for us. is silly through hon for me. as with race, car drivers, every curve every bond, 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 this down, then left to a small wave, and then a big wave was on the inside of the 1st right curve. you need to turn your body slightly. you 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 calm, rested and ready to roll. are you guys? i've been with them a little stressed. yeah. but i trust both of them. yeah. i'll be in the middle her . so ali sean eave leave me and my father will be behind the safety for the rest. the day to day i'm on. the fog has lifted it's go time in virginia. things look different. clouds are still blocking the view. it's a test of patience for shaheen. fast not, and the mon vandella with these conditions risking a jump is out of the question. that meant the mic eclectic. humans have always been climber, so we climb trees and scaled the mountains. and was, is that, and what has always been the dream of humanity, flying english muffin, comma, we're doing comes very close to realizing that dream does is for me that's the key

to understanding what we do. not kick sure. you get a kick in a shot of adrenalin let. there's something human to it that was and i think that's the most important thing. da smartest on house. the feeling of being at one was the elements 1st came to share ideas with a snowboard under her feet. she became known as one of the world leading free riders. she is in spotty. i am an athlete. i started my career in school again in the company. i turned crow and won prizes as snowboarding, i and now i'm a conference. speak any boston about. if he, man, i talk about risk evaluation and help people achieve their goals and dreams are had his essay on the devil had these essences, every july dean is fearless. even though her 1st husband died in a speed flag accident was sport relatively similar to hers. ah, madeline is known by our lives will all end some day at all said vest this will i've decided to live my dream every day cuz she decided doing what i loved the

muddy income i think on my have to little walk fast cuz emerett of crystal on the mox vander also lived his dream of flying but 2016. the year before he quit turned into a nightmare for the base, jumping seen, 37 athletes plummeted to their deaths. it gave max a reason to reflect on his own life and addiction. to me as mother, i'm jumping out of the plane for the 1st time is an insane feeling. but once you've done it 50 times, it becomes normal mom, just like riding a bike was so we kind of have to kick it up a notch to get the same feeling with base jumping. it's the same as the 1st base jumps were insane, but at some point it felt normal mama, and once you understand and recognize this dynamic, you also realised that it's a dead end. because at some point your number is up. the situation arrives where you've taken it a step too far, and then it's all over bonuses for boy. for the 1st time,

after years of abstinence max vandal wants to hike up to an exit, accompanying his friend michael if i should be. but this time he won't be jumping dorothy long. i don't know if you have a buddy long time. so nice that we could meet up with those group rough. should we take the usual path again when a mile over the ascent of the draft and vamp is 600 meters. it takes about 2 hours. difference should i think it's beautiful go . all the old feelings are welling up. it's weighed in lot, especially now that i see marco again had fun. i'm really excited to see it again. live how he jumps off and flies away that a big flirt max had to find out for himself. how fin the line is between obsession and passion, courage and contempt for death shop. they are, i had the feeling that i was going down the wrong path and that i had to make some

changes animals. i started working with a coach with whom i was 1st able to uncover all the dynamics at work within me come from was what are the motives behind my actions and where did they come from, luke law. and when that, because is clear to you, you immediately accept the consequences in wonderment. awesome. i have to stop doing this at some point on that as on if i wasn't able to quit right away. well sure, but it gave me a way out of the sports for claudia, returning to the values like deja vu for years she waited anxiously below, hoping that marks would fall from the sky in one piece. it. good. okay, we're turning around. i'll talk about spring and get it. no jumping, you hear good. yep, definitely. this letter on that i trust and 100 percent at base jumping is a chapter that has been closed funded our market nowadays. i also like talking with marco about it and reminisce, but everything has its time. it's behind us now. it's in the past,

the softer the downhill course of the buggy rollers is almost 3 kilometers long. with top speeds well over 80 kilometers an hour. i sensation, seekers as extreme athletes are called with in sports, psychology emit less. cortisol have a lower heart rate and feel comfortable and stressful situations. the ride is short, but intense with we oh fellow doing carl lever, pretty fine at that time. so i had trouble staying on you guys. it was really vibrating even. did you drive it full throttle, just wanted to know had to break, otherwise i would've gone too fast. the see in the suit is really big too. i mean i that's why i didn't feel as comfortable as usual. my vehicle is it. john eve has 5

brothers and a sister. all of them are involved in extreme sports. one brother was killed in a paragliding accident a few years ago with some to produce polar list. las boy lying as the sporting that is paragliding and skiing as well. sound was always something that united us as siblings and as a family was here, don't have dad started at all, but he but he was escape jumper and he loved flying. kimberly, yes, it was all about jumping and flying to russell oliver mileage on eve is the only one who stayed on the ground. you versa, sulu bona general is when i fly on the road, not through the air, nobody should channel to. i always dreamed a flying usa, but my dream took a different shape on that. was one excuse nicholson. he bought it for years. max vander was driven by his search for the flow status were risks fade away with time

seems to stretch endlessly and happiness. hormones work like a drug to day he has found a way out of that addiction here. boy, oh hey, this is do you are on air? ah, ma'am, as it is things ever get milk? i missed a flying itself. her. but putting on the old wings and jumping off here, wouldn't even cross my mind for business, those that i can't do any more. this giving me oh, michael vitamin spear has turned the freeform into his profession. to hear this must be jumped number 4000 for you. the rise? no idea. i said so what's your guess hurricane yeah, i don't. i really don't know. i think it's somewhere between them. i'm not sure what makes it different to opt in. i think everyone has a thing where they like to push themselves to the limit. so i think so, oh boy, but maybe every one has a different approach or a different attitude on the edge. the only way you could push the sport any further

and to make it more extreme would be to start flying into cliffs skiing upon flim gifted with a booming industry wing suits have rapidly evolved into high tech devices from the free fall of earlier generations to day steerable wings still at 200 kilometers per hour with no way to break. any mistake is fatal. ha! ah, i am already looking forward to it. the year you should mostly still follow fairly normal. i'm making sure that i will be back on the ground, help you to take a look and checking the wind and just enjoying it. as my i tried to be conscious about my surroundings and focused on what i'm doing. so if i had manage all take care of yourself in

321 says what this day? natalie shante, fog. of course i asked myself the question, why does someone risk their life time and time again for feeling good for those who do must answer for themselves. persist beyond and in my own story, it was me that had to come up with the answer that my motivations were the wrong ones decision. but just as low self esteem combined with obsession, it is simply a very toxic mixing sciences, especially when it comes to a sport like this on, on a half. so i just want to lift on j, dean fastness local mountain. the clouds are slowly breaking up time to get ready since becoming parents, july dean and z more know that every day life can also habits thrilling moments. nevertheless, they don't want to give up their passion for leaping had 1st into the void course for the keyboard. who's that as soon as just before our son was born last month,

as for i didn't have the desire to jump any more. he liked it, and maybe it's just engraved in our dna that you become a protector in that moment. since you don't want to expose yourself to additional risk and just said yourself, it will more than i have, i don't need this anymore and that is for long the desired becomes optional. or shortly after the birth i felt like doing another jumped lunch. so i walked up here alone jumped off and when i landed, i said to myself, by the lonely up, this really is my thing is shall lending just before the jump peak concentration. oh, okay. 3, do one. and then in unity j. dean. and does he more than realize mankind's age, old dream,
