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.

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.

We want to push mankind's boundaries out a little further.

I'm more a competitive person.

You have seen on TV how hard it is to go up 129,000 feet and how hard it is to come down.

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

It feels great to be on top of the world but the greatest feeling is when your feet are on the ground.
