6. Who is Felix Baumgartner??? • Born in Salzburg, Austria in 1969, Felix began skydiving at the age of 16 and polished his skills as part of the Austrian military's demonstration and competition team. In 1988, he began performing skydiving exhibitions for Red Bull. The company's out-of-the-box thinking and Felix's adventurous spirit clicked, and they've collaborated ever since. • By the 1990s, Felix felt that he'd gone as far as he could with traditional skydiving, so he extended his canopy skills with BASE jumping - parachuting from a fixed object or landform. He finds that the lightning-fast reflexes and precise techniques required by such low-altitude feats also enhance his high-altitude skydiving technique.

7. Felix BaumGartner, Redbull, & the Stratosphere • Baumgartner has partnered with RED BULL in the RED BULL STRATOS project. Together, they continue to create free fall jumps from increasingly higher altitudes.
