motivates along that. people go to the edge for different reasons. i j, dean fast enough and our husband ziemen vonda are based jumpers. they dive off clips into the depths below him would you? thanks to their wing suits, they can glide through the air before releasing a parachute for landing emiliano, montana. i got the nickname bird woman because i love flying sca jim says, but my voice, my life is all about fly taking off from the mountain feels more natural to me than jumping out of the plane and the piano of young according to this to to sticks there is

a one in 60 chance of dying while bass jumping. despite this j dean fast knocked believes that danger is controllable. the pin fellow thing when you jump off a rock faced, it's all about nature. the alley, humpy, you high top climb. look at the animal, feel the air in since if the conditions arrive and then you see your flight path over the terrain you put on the wing sis and get ready. 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, mid 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 too little should stay. there is no way it will work out in the long run. sit been domina in the united be seen,

but doing this together is great, should stick as sharing what you love doing with your partner is a best thing of all this money to small not is not to dish to sir does hooks did the daniel base jumping isn't the only thing shahan dean fast knocked henzy morn, vandella share. their son already just turned one and a half to repent vc. 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. w. o, sam that i enjo dean's mind, her sport is not about playing dice with death, but fulfilling a dream little did that discount of valdez play?

i hate it when people talk about extreme sport, this being look like it's a sport that requires a lot of feelings and not have gentleness, knowing yourself and your own limits. yet on the here, you must also know how to still to figure out if i even wanted to eat out again or not. or extreme to me means having something out of your control that you are afraid her. it takes about an hour to hide from their house nearby, up to the exit. as the jumping off points are called and faced 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 sonali escaped 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 one mean distance at the very least, you need an opening, then keep to stint fluke. so the then saturday,

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. i'm just moving backwards as soon as i opened the parachute regret and must not fun at all. miss ost ceiling, if it's cloudy, we'll 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 her 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 leap. to day, the real estate developer lives in a small bavarian village on the comparatively safe side of life. he licked his and looked, saw the old relics are still there. give to me, i could sell them off risking that some one else kills themselves with my outfits lumbering. 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 which listed above all they evoke the feeling of flying to live. so looking at these old wings every now and then, is something special to me is i flew him and be the milan savish almost to san louis . 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 it says he should submit her soon as you wish to learn. it was quite

a change to be honest. what law going from being an extreme athlete 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 harm hog? it's nothing dangerous anymore. he's mere normal motorcycles, noble, a jumping a vague and diet, an animal. so awesome. you could almost say that all of this was an extreme transitional of max's willingness to take risks. increased from year to year. at mit modest one started 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. 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 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. 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, i'd wanna merge them on my own. 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 was less and there are about 3000 meters of altitude difference on exit to landing, he legal service. 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 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. let's get this on a list if 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. each of those more and still the class, he seemed unaffected by it. and that really made me think that mit 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. some sprained funds, him 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 a me listen and i just thought i love 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. 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 buggy rollin began as a study of the sense of balance 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 like that it was more a search for something that didn't exist yet than me. you just take a leap into the unknown. took not even knowing for go, gee, but you set out on the journey regardless of 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 tougher. yes, i am certainly afraid, silva, i would say fear is a lifesaver who has 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 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. yeah. she kumasi saw at 1st i wrote without electric, which was fine. you might, but the fact is when it gets dangerous, it's easy to break with electric version. we're ag please. the test run is to take place on the car dealership halfway between our debbie and an ac. made of plastic

aluminum alloy, steel and carbon. the suit alone weighs about 15 kilos and that's without the electronics, inline, skates and helmet. but the dissenter, dec seems problematic. at the top of the pass, the mountain disappears into the fog, which could make their venture too risky. watson, it's a bit wet. was military then? oh, do we hurry or do we go down to honesty? i don't know. the forecast is it's cold and rainy work, so i think it will get worse as i don't know. the question is, can we roll if it stays like us 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 i don't, can i 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 about it and your field of vision isn't very big anyway or not. so it's blurry on top of that, sarah, it's not exactly good for us, is see 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 oncoming traffic that is forced to sit 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 cam rested and ready to roll. are you guys? i've been with them a little stress, you know, but i trust both of them. yeah. i'll be in the middle her. so ali shown it lead 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 verbiage things look different. clouds are still blocking the view. it's a test of patients for shahan, dean fast, not and z mon vonda. with these conditions, risking a jump is out of the question. dimension the mic eclipse. humans have always been climbers. are we climb trees and scaled the mountains? and what is that? and what has always been the dream of humanity flying then does he love uncommon? 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 is something human to it was, and i think that's the most important thing of the smartest and how's 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 decisions, spotty. i am athlete. i started my career in school again in the company. i turned pro and one prize. this is my 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 dream now had his essay on the devil had his asthma, his every july dean is fearless, even though her 1st husband died and a speed flag accident was sport relatively similar to hers. ah, mal is known by our lives will all end some day at those said vesa, they thought i decided to leave my dream every day. could this he did doing what i loved the muddy income? i think i might have to raise will walk fast casual crystal 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 asthma's. i'm jumping out of the plane for the 1st time is an insane feeling my foot. but once you've done it 50 times, it becomes normal mom. just like riding a bike. there must be 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 realize that it's a dead end because at some point your number is up, the situation arrives where you've taken it a step to fos issue and then it's all over bonuses providing for the 1st time after years of abstinence max vander wants to hike up to an exit accompanying as friend macro vitamin b. but this time he won't be jumping long. i don't have

a buddy long time, so nice that we could meet up with you should we take the usual puzzle game when a mile owner of the ascent up the de gotten vamp is 600 meters. it takes about 2 hours difference. sure. i think it's beautiful, go. all the old feelings are welling up. it's weird and like, especially now that i see marco again at 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 thin 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. want on it often,

i have to stop doing this at some point on that as 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 valley of like deja vu for years, she waited anxiously below, hoping that marks would fall from the sky in one piece. yeah, really. good luck. okay, we're turning around. oh, wow. so i'm not doing it yet. 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. the softer 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, with o fellow doing carl liver pretty fine. at times 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 soon the suit is really big, too early. i. that's why i didn't feel as comfortable as usual. america 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 last 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 to russell 11. mother 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, where risks fade away with 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 the 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 vitamin spear has turned the freeform into his profession. to hear this must be jumped number 4000 for you guys. no idea. i said so what's your guess hurry canaan? 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 steerable wings. still at 200 kilometers per hour with no way to break any mistake is fatal. ah, i am already looking forward to it the year you should as you still follow feeling normal, i'm 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 they cared or self . and 321 says what? mr. natalie? shandy, fog. of course, i asked myself the question,

why does someone risk their life time and time again for a feeling and 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 versus 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 i just want to lift on g hardin, fastness local mountain. the clouds are slowly breaking up. time to get ready since becoming parents, july dean and z more norther 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 on the 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 say to yourself, it will more than i, hey,

i don't need this anymore and that is for long. the desire becomes optional. or 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 of it. oh, okay. 3, do one. and then in unity j dean and does even realize mankind's age old dream to fly like birds. disregarding the dangers of death.
