Ski to the max

After years of living to every extreme and not respecting the limits of my body and soul, I fell ill with a serious immune sickness and came close to facing the end. But it turned out to be the best thing that could have happened to me. It forced me to start taking better care of myself and made me realize that there is nothing more important in life than the human relationships we forge and the responsibility we have to those around us. It showed me that my love to my family and friends was what really mattered most. After regaining my health, I started to take responsibility in life again and began concentrating not just on my own sports, but also on other projects, my company Airpro, and my relationships. It was that year after my illness, when Willy Bogner approached me and asked if I would be able to do the impossible: fly an Audi A6 from the top of a 3000m high mountain in Aspen, USA. Three months later, I made it happen.
