Also different aerobatic maneuvers are possible

and on the left hand side it's the camera flier

for the film itself and also for the judging.

Freeflying is more the three-dimensional skydiving.

You can see the skydiver with the red suit,

And that's me in the background, carving around the whole formation

Skysurfing is skydiving with a board on the feet.

for example for nice spinning -- we call it "helicopter moves."

that I can make fly, just only with my body.

If I put some tension on my body, tension on my suit,

You can see the Copacabana on the left-hand side.

From there with all the skills and knowledge

from paragliding and all the different disciplines

BASE jumping is skydiving from fixed objects,

like buildings, antennae, bridges and earth --

So my goal soon was to discover new places

So in summer 2000 I was the first to BASE jump

Two years after this, I was the first to BASE jump from Matterhorn,

2005 I did a BASE jump from the Eiger, from the Monk and from the Jungfrau,

three very famous mountains in Switzerland.

The special thing on these three jumps were,

I hiked them all and climbed them all in only one day.

In 2008 I jumped the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

The first one, I want to set a world record

of a jump that never has been done before.

So now, on the following movie you will see

that I'm much better in flying a wingsuit
