Extreme sport has only ever been about goals and the ways to achieve these goals. Adrenaline plays a part, but it's never in the foreground.

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

I can't bear the thought of my mother having to push me around in a wheelchair. I'd rather die quickly.

People are fascinated about the world above them because it seems so out-of-reach. My jump gave them an opportunity to come along for the ride. They could watch live on their screens how someone rises all the way up into the stratosphere.
