Born to fly
Felix was born in 1969, but his journey truly began at the age of 16, when he completed his first ever skydive.
The thrill sucked him in and he continued to challenge himself with extreme parachuting. He soon took up BASE jumping, another seriously dangerous sport that involves parachuting or wingsuit flying from a fixed structure or cliff.
Felix went on to join the Austrian military, where he spent many years perfecting his parachute jumping and learned how to land on small target zones.
He later left the army and for a short while supported himself by repairing motorbikes.
But, Felix said, “The air is where I am at home.”
He has a tattoo on his forearm in Gothic font that says 'Born to fly'.
