I would've never dreamt that my skydive would trigger such gushing enthusiasm. I still don't really understand exactly what I've accomplished, although I always suspected it would be a truly spectacular moment.

I base jumped off the Jesus statue in Rio de Janeiro.

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.

People are fascinated about the world above them because it seems so out-of-reach.

If I do something, it's always 90% obvious and 10% unknown.

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

I'm 100 percent sure I'm becoming a really good helicopter pilot.
