Felix Baumgartner

I started skydiving because I loved the idea of freedom. ”

I'm more a competitive person. ”

I have a lot of fears that normal people have. ”

I feel comfortable with what I do and I guess that my girlfriend feels the same. ”

To jump and break the sound barrier will not be a mere record breaking experience or another extreme event that ends once the mission is accomplished. ”

If the Wright brothers hadn't put their lives on the line, we would not be flying around the world these days. So we need pioneers. ”

Of course my life has changed because now everybody knows who Felix Baumgartner is. ”

I always had the dream of flying, and the cheapest way is to become a skydiver. ”

I'm retired from the daredevil business. ”

Well, I jumped for the first time when I was 16. I just loved it and immediately realized that it was what I wanted to do. ”
