More quotes by Felix Baumgartner
I started skydiving because I loved the idea of freedom.
Felix Baumgartner
I would've never dreamt that my skydive would trigger such gushing enthusiasm. I still don't really understand exactly what I've accomplished, although I always suspected it would be a truly spectacular moment.
Felix Baumgartner
I know the whole world is watching now. And I wish the world could see what I can see. Sometimes you have to get up really high to understand how small you really are. I'm going home now.
Felix Baumgartner
People are fascinated about the world above them because it seems so out-of-reach. My jump gave them an opportunity to come along for the ride. They could watch live on their screens how someone rises all the way up into the stratosphere.
Felix Baumgartner
I feel at home up in the air, just like sailors do at sea and climbers do in the mountains.
Felix Baumgartner
I don't like to rate myself others can do that.
Felix Baumgartner
I like to challenge myself.
Felix Baumgartner
Heroes don't wear diapers. It's just not cool.
Felix Baumgartner
If I do something, it's always 90% obvious and 10% unknown.

One of the most exciting moments was standing out on top of the world, 30 seconds before stepping off.
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
I want to inspire the next generation. I want to be in mission control with someone younger than me wanting to break my record.
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
They call me Fearless Felix.
Felix Baumgartner
When I was standing there on top of the world, you become so humble, you do not think about breaking records anymore, you do not think about gaining scientific data. The only thing you want is to come back alive
Felix Baumgartner
I have a lot of fears that normal people have.
Felix Baumgartner
Aviation - and space travel, in particular - have always been especially captivating.
Felix Baumgartner
Normally, when I skydive, even in winter, I wear very thin gloves. I want to be flexible, with fast reactions.
Felix Baumgartner
Never accept your limitations - because there are NO limitations.
Felix Baumgartner
You have seen on TV how hard it is to go up 129,000 feet and how hard it is to come down.
Felix Baumgartner
