That spin became so violent, it was hard to know how to get out of it. I was able to get it under control and break the speed of sound...I could feel myself break the speed of sound. I could feel the air building up and then I hit it.

I don't like to rate myself; others can do that.

I'm more a competitive person.

I'm not an adrenaline junkie. It's never been about thrills for me. I'm just someone who loves a challenge.

I had to work with a psychiatrist.

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

Normally, when I skydive, even in winter, I wear very thin gloves. I want to be flexible, with fast reactions.
