one of the most difficult, complex and expensive research project. tomorrow today. in 60 minutes on d. w. a thought they were great able, we were able to do one why do people do extreme sports? did this, you did decide to keep my train every day to walk doing what i love to sit on the

people go to the edge for different reasons. i 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 emiliano manna, i got the nickname bird woman because i love flying. sca jim says palmyra valesa. my life is all about fly. taking off from the mountain feels more natural to me than jumping out of the plane li, the piano. according to the

statistics, there is a one in 60 chance of dying ra base jumping. despite this july, dean 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. hi, tara climb. look at the animal. feel the air in a sense if the conditions are right and then you see show 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 partner did the rest, franzoni labeled to the building that dustless view mountains. spending the rest of your life with someone who doesn't understand what we do would be completely impossible. owned a dust was on to ma. hm. is not to the still should stay, there is no way it would work out in the long run. i'm sick,

been domina in the united bethune, 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 small not is not to listen to, sir. does hooks to the dingle. base jumping isn't the only thing jack didn't fuss now and the more vandella share. their son already just turned one and a half to return anyway. but when parents had up into the mountains, little audion has to stay behind in the valley. meanwhile, j dean's mother takes over the babysitting duties. it's done with stuff. oh no. that i enjoyed her 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 booked with. it's a sport that requires a lot of feelings. a lot of gentleness, knowing yourself and your own limits on that here. you must also know how to step back and say no. 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 while to figure out if i even wanted to start again or not, or extreme to me means having something out of the control. but you're afraid of it takes about an hour to hide from their house nearby, up to the exit. as the jumping off points are called and base 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 yet did we have clouds and sonali this keeps din optimed in shot. will you

not do it when we make the jump but take off that brow. we really need the best possible visibility enabled us, monique, and that is to say, no clouds or fog in one mean distance. at the very least, you need an opening that gives us in fluke south of institute. then there is the flight itself. no. 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 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. i'm just moving backwards as soon as i opened the parachute regret and must not fun at all. miss lucy, sitting if it's cloudy, will wait to see if it clears her. what is always some one didn't the valley that contrived the clouds away, but we just need a bit of luck on our 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 is in the saw. the old relics are still there. give to me, i could sell them off for risking that some one else kills themselves with my outfits. being. 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 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 was somewhat desantos. 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 digits him here soon as you wish to learn. it was quite a change to be honest. what law going from being an extreme athlete with your 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 hog? it's nothing dangerous anymore. he's mere normal motorcycles. no bow, a jumping a vague and diet, an animal. so awesome. you could almost say that all of this was an extreme transition of max's willingness to take risks increased from year to year. at mid wonders. why don't it with noticeable and it got faster and faster? riskier and riskier, go onto 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 equal, but on the other it has been a relief accuracy. like 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. have 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 junk and the flight that follows through these different climate zones. one could almost say you fly past the glazes, then over meadows and pastures. let's wanna merge them of mine and then you landed a button in the heat of a summer's day. he wrote you divisional omen. law live m o. we go from minus 5 degrees celsius at the top or to 30 degrees,

plus at the autumn was versus less and there are about 3000 meters of altitude difference from exit to landing eagles of x. it takes forever. and as he 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 appear and the forest and this and it's still flying and more flying blue, it just goes on and on. and then you just keep lying. 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. prescriptive analysts say 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, made and vicky to thank nick in 0 hope to for i 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, long to be argued from spain, fransen as a slim. so the get 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 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 bleeding. valesvi

with john eve, blonde dog lives in the french alps, news, a 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 violence and the locomotion of the human body in space. with it and 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 about me. you just take a leap into the unknown. took not even knowing for 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 math. 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 for yes, i am certainly afraid, silva. i would say fear is a lifesaver who has been without fear. you wouldn't live very long at the latest innovation from his workshop. an electric drive that also makes rolling possible on a level surface. his friend and collaborator, kristof under your tar, 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. yes. you come off. he saw at 1st i rode without electric, which was fine. if you make that, the fact is when it gets dangerous, it's easier 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, inline, skates and helmet. but the de center de 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 lottery than ours. do we hurry or do we go down to honesty? i don't know the forecast is as cold and rainy hawks. i think it will get worse as i don't know. the question is can we roll if it stays like this is about her 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. and how can i before we came cleared up and now it's cloudy. we have 2 problems. the traction and the visibility that she yeah. if you have drops of water on the visor level, you can listen, put into details about it and your field of vision isn't very big anyway or now, so it's blurry on top of that color. it's not exactly good for us. is silly through hon for me. as with race car drivers, every curve, every bump, every breaking point must be internalized the difference. there are no run off areas for moments of danger. instead, there is on coming 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. 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, if lead me and my father will be behind the safety to the message rated, i am. the fog has lifted it's go time in verbiage things look different. clouds are still blocking the view. it's a test of patience, for she hadn't fussed not. and ziemen vander with these conditions, risking a jump is out of the question. the mentality, mach atlanta, humans have always been climber. so we climbed trees and scaled the mountains and vases that in what has always been the dream of humanity flying endless him, often called a we're doing, comes very close to realizing that dream will 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 lester, 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 with the elements 1st came to share ideas with a snowboard under her feet. she became known as one of the world leading free riders is just sitting, spotty. i am athletes. i started my career in school again in the company. i turned crow and won prizes. so boarding 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 law 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, mal is known by our lives will all end some day. i thought said very little. i've decided to leave my dream every day her cuz she decided doing what i loved the

muddy. my think i'm on. i have to little walk fast camera bristle on the mocks 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 my votes. but once you've done it 50 times, it becomes normal. my 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 momma. 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 van der 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. that was of rough. should we take the usual path again when a mile over the ascent up the dragon 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 weird and especially now that i see marco again and fun. i'm really excited to see it again. live how he jumps off and flies away that i've explored. 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 do they come from zach law. and when that becomes clear to you, you immediately accept the consequences. wonder also i have to stop doing this at some point, hunter is honestly, i wasn't able to quit right away on shore. 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 max would fall from the sky in one piece. it. good luck. okay, we're turning around though. so douglas, spring in. yep. no jumping you here. good. yep. that floats around. i trust him. 100 percent at base jumping is a chapter that has been closed. fine and our market now days. 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, this office to the down hill 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 in stressful situations. the ride is short, but intense with we oh fellow doing carl driver, 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 have gone too fast. the see in this mood 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 t, bruce bonner list, las boy lying as the sporting that his 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 about it, but he was escape jumper and he loved flying. kimberly, yes, it was all about jumping and flying through. so anyway, my john eve is the only one who stayed on the ground versa, sulu bona general is when i fly on the road, not through the air, the weather channel too. i always dreamed a flying insult. but my dream took a different shape when it was one experimental city. for years, max vander was driven by his search for the flow status were risks fade away. this time seems to stretch endlessly and happiness. hormones work like

a drug. today he has found a way out of that addiction. yeah. or oh, hey, there 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 over. this is those that i can't do any more. this. giving me oh, michael varnish beer has turned the freeform into his profession. should be here. this must be jumped number 4000 for you guys. no idea. i was that's what's your guess hurricane on on. i really don't know. i think it's somewhere between 9 and 10000 in the back. oh yeah. boy wasn't well not sure. what makes you 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 make it more extreme would be to start flying into cliffs. skiing of on flim gifted with a booming industry wing suits have rapidly evolved into high tech devices from the free fall of earlier generations to today's the rebel wings still at 200 kilometers per hour with no way to break. any mistake is fatal top ah, i am already looking forward to it the year you should also he still follow feeling normal and making sure that i will be back on the ground to petersburg, checking the wind and just enjoying it as my i try to be conscious about my surroundings and focus on what i'm doing. so if i had manage all take care of yourself. in

321 says this diana to leash on the fog. of course, i ask myself to 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, thus, this is as low self esteem combined with obsession. phipps is simply a very toxic mixing sciences, especially when it comes to a sport like this on or off. so in a while to lift on g hardin, fastness, local mountain. the clouds are slowly breaking up. time to get ready. since becoming parents, geraldine 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 head 1st into the void. good food to keep what? once it is sonus, 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. it, since you don't want to expose yourself to additional risk and just say to yourself, it will more than i, hey, i don't need this anymore and that is for long. the desire becomes optional. and shortly after the birth i felt like doing another jump lunch. so i walked up here alone jumped off and when i landed, i said to myself, by the law me 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 his him on realize mankind's age old dream to fly like birds. disregarding the dangers of death. ah ah ah ah ah.
