Explore The Sky With Hannes Arch

Hannes Arch, Red Bull Air Race pilot, started hang-gliding at the age of 16 and progressed to paragliding working as a test pilot and making thousands of paragliding flights around the world. The next step was B.A.S.E jumping; he made hundreds of leaps off cliffs plunging at 125 mph. He once climbed the west ridge of the Eiger mountain and jumped off the north face. He flew his Edge 540 underneath the Mozart pedestrian bridge in Salzburg in front of 10,000 spectators, crossing the Salzach River just a few feet below. Arch is also a professional helicopter pilot, an occupation which he loves as much as air racing. In 2005 Arch was the Red Bull Air Race's Aviation Manager and Race Director before switching over to compete. "It was like getting dropped into cold water and I had to wake up quickly and grasp the high skill level of the pilots in the race," he said of his rookie season. "I felt I was making improvements throughout the season, getting faster and faster and improving my technique. I was able to nail some very fast training and qualifying times. I'm really looking forward to the new season." More on Hannes Arch on http://redbullairrace.com

Holy shit. I hate these Youtube-Fuckers who never jumped out of a plane or Base.

Please only shut the fuck up before you say this is nothing. I think nearly all people who say that would die in every jump. So be quiet when you don`t have an idea what base or skydiving is.

these are the moments...

Luke7994: Seen is the key word in that statement. You need to go experience it for yourself man. "Once you've felt something that intense, it's hard not to wanna have more of it". After you do it, you'll understand it's not about competition so much as freedom. I had/have a fear of heights and a fear of falling; but, I recommend skydiving to everyone now. "Life is really just a bunch of experiences you have until you die...I just want to make those experiences as incredible as I possibly can".
