i hate it when people talk about extreme sport this to being booklet, it's a sport that requires a lot of feeling, a lot of gentleness, knowing yourself and your own limits and haven't yet on that yet. 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. but 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 dinner did we have clouts and family escaped din optimed in shot. so when we make
3:21 am
the jump, the take off april, we really need the best possible visibility, enable us legal to that is to say, no clouds or fog in one mean distance. at the very least, you need an opening that gives us didn't fluke. so the, the answer to that then there is the flight itself as 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. my littlest sitting if it's cloudy, will wait to see if it clears her. there's 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 to 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. here he licked his and looked up. 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 on being the other option would be to throw them away. we are from boswell, and that would be a real shame it. oh, there are, after all, memories attached to the suits and not only bad ones, no, she left it above all, they evoke the feeling of flying. really. so looking at these old wings every now and then, is something special to me is out and flew in unbeatable answers. i wish, almost to san louis. claudia and marks are now and married couple for his
3:23 am
longtime girlfriend, getting out of extreme sports was a condition for accepting his proposal. what i'd say digits him here soon as you're almost alone, 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. so 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, noble jumping, a vague and diet unable so awesome. you could almost say that all of this was an extreme transition to low max. his willingness to take risks increased from year to year and had more than one started with noticeable and it got faster and faster. riskier and riskier and what's 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
3:24 am
a lot. 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, accuracy life. but 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 use it. 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 blanc. i the sir and this joke and the flight that follows through these different climate zones. one could almost say you fly past the glazes, then over meadows and pastures once on the most aluminum. and then you land at the bottom in the hate of a summer's day. if you divisional omen law live m o. we go from minus 5 degrees celsius at talk all to 30 degrees plus at the bottom most less is for us.
