1. Can you give us a quick bio of your background and beginnings? I started skydiving in<br />
2000 and base jumping in 2001 in my home country Norway. I was fortunate to be part<br />
of the early beginning of wing suit flying and got to learn from the best, such as Robert<br />
Peknic, Loic Jean-Albert and Shane McConkey. After 10 years as a passionate hoppy pilot<br />
I managed to go fully professional in 2012 due to strong competition results. I remain<br />
today a full-time wing suit pilot.<br />
2. What attracted you and got you into this sport? Its the fascination of being above the<br />
earth. If I could go to another planet I would. If I could grow wings I would. Flying is the<br />
best feeling I know of, especially when flying with friends. We are not suppose to fly, but<br />
we still manage. It stands as a proof of humans ability to evolve. I just had to fly I guess.
