From regular, relative skydiving I went on to freeflying.

And then a jumpmaster comes, and he's an experienced NCO in parachute operations.

You can see the skydiver with the red suit, he's in a stand up position.

This is a parachutist with another parachutist doing exactly the same thing.

And you put on the T 10 parachute.

Paragliding is taking off from mountains with a paraglider, with the possibility to fly cross country, distance, just with the use of thermals to soar.

It's kind of like skydiving in slow motion.

A parachute jump from the very edge of space.

The jumpmasters start to check the door.

BASE jumping is skydiving from fixed objects, like buildings, antennae, bridges and earth meaning mountains, cliffs.

From there I started with skydiving.

It was a routine training jump, like many more I'd done since I became a paratrooper 27 years before.

From freeflying I went on to skysurfing.

And it weighs 300 pounds and you can't skydive in it.

And then when it's time to go, a green light goes and the jumpmaster goes, Go.

From there with all the skills and knowledge from paragliding and all the different disciplines in skydiving, I went on to BASE jumping.

I started with paragliding.

The one with the yellow green suit, he's flying head down.

And aerial stunts. No aerial stunt would be the same without skydiving.

I've even skydived in it in a wind tunnel, which means that I can practice everything I need to practice, in safety, before I ever jump out of anything. Thanks very much, Costa.

In 30 some years of jumping, I never did one.

Freeflying is more the three dimensional skydiving.

It's a working prototype. I will use it for all the jumps.

So now I do that Tuesday morning jump, but it's not any jump that was September 11th, 2001.

Steve Truglia A leap from the edge of space

CA Did he tell you to jump, or he just said, I'm out of here! and ...

In this picture you can see there is a four way skydive, four people flying together, and on the left hand side it's the camera flyer with the camera mounted to his helmet so he can film the whole jump, for the film itself and also for the judging.

This is a Tri Star, and so they let Natasha actually sit in the jump seat.

Skysurfing is skydiving with a board on the feet.

Ten years ago, on a Tuesday morning, I conducted a parachute jump at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

So in summer 2000 I was the first to BASE jump the Eiger North Face in Switzerland.

I took my blood before and after, and I had a huge spike of oxytocin.

So with some friends we started to do different tricks, like for example this jump here, I jumped from a paraglider.

UE Usually I'm wearing a helmet. In the mountains I'm always wearing a helmet because of landings usually it's difficult it's not like regular skydiving where you have like the big landings.

So once you take up skydiving or smoking, you downplay the risks.

Or maybe they're full of champagne glasses or skydiving equipment.

This is Morocco last year in the Atlas mountains, training in preparation for some high altitude jumps.

And the pilot, I actually knew because they used to let me sit in the jump seat, to tell you how long ago this was.

You do some routine refresher training, and then you go to put on your parachute and a buddy helps you.

Which brings us quite nicely to why I'm really here today Project Space Jump.

This guy is not skydiving. He's being flown like a kite, or moved around like a kite.

RB No, he told me jump, but once his weight had gone, the balloon just shot up to 12,000 feet and I ...

So you get in the aircraft, you're flying along, and at 20 minutes out, these jumpmasters start giving you commands.

And you cannot do parachute reporting just jump into a country for two days and think that you've done your homework and a story.

Harness, parachute.
