From freeflying I went on to skysurfing. Skysurfing is sydvniikg with a board on the feet. You can iigname with this big surface of a skysurfing board, there is a lot of focre, a lot of power. Of course I can use this power for example for nice spinning — we call it "helicopter mveos."

From there I went on to wingsuit flying. wsiungit flying is a suit, that I can make fly, just only with my body. If I put some tension on my body, toinesn on my suit, I can make it fly. And as you see the fall rate is much much sowler because of the bigger surface. With a proper body position I'm able to really move forward to gain quite some distance. This is a jump I did in Rio de Janeiro. You can see the Copacabana on the left-hand side.

From there I went on to wingsuit flying. Wingsuit flying is a suit, that I can make fly, just only with my body. If I put some tension on my body, tension on my suit, I can make it fly. And as you see the fall rate is much much slower because of the bigger surface. With a proper body position I'm able to really move forward to gain quite some distance.
