Wingsuit Jumping ist die Königin unter den Extremsportarten - ein aufregendes Kunststück von nahezu unglaublicher Kühnheit, in welchem Skydiver mit mehr als 160 km/h durch Canyons kreisen. Ueli Gegenschatz erzählt, wie (und warum) er das tut, und zeigt dazu atemberaubende Filmaufnahmen.

Ueli Gegenschatz took flight just about every way a human can: paragliding, skydiving, BASE jumping (from the Eiffel Tower), and most breathtakingly: by donning a wingsuit and soaring. Full bio »
