Felix Baumgartner’s Top 5 Freefall Stunts

Andrew — Thu, 11 Oct 2012 11:59:40 +0000

With a passion for expanding boundaries, professional BASE jumper and Red Bull Stratos pilot Felix Baumgartner has been living the dream for over 15 years. All the incredible jumps throughout his career have been whittled down to just 5 of the best, with a focus on his race against a plane, his BASE jump from Petronas Tower, the unprecedented wingsuit flight across the English Channel, and more incredible feats. Red Bull Stratos is Baumgartner’s current project — a mission to the edge of space where he plans to ascend 120,000 feet into the atmosphere in a helium ballon, then jump towards Earth at supersonic speeds. On a side note, I suddenly feel the need to accomplish more in life. Much more.

Felix Baumgartner, the main guinea pig for the Red Bull Stratos project, speaks in this film about why he does what he does — why he pursues BASE with such passion and curiosity. When you hear him describe his inner peace when doing all the “crazy” stuff he does, you know he’s being real. That’s authenticity right there, even if this is an ad for Red Bull.
