More quotes by Felix Baumgartner

Felix Baumgartner
I love a challenge, and trying to become the first person to break the speed of sound in freefall is a challenge like no other.
Felix Baumgartner

I don't like to rate myself others can do that. I've spoken with a number of young people who weren't even born in 1969, when the first moon landing was made. They've witnessed the first person to fly at faster than speed of the sound without propulsion. These kids are happy to have had such a momentous event in their lifetime.
Felix Baumgartner
Never accept your limitations - because there are NO limitations.
Felix Baumgartner
I'm not an adrenaline junkie. It's never been about thrills for me. I'm just someone who loves a challenge.
Felix Baumgartner
As a little kid, I climbed a lot of trees because I always loved the bird's-eye view.
Felix Baumgartner
I don't like to rate myself others can do that.
