The last days I read a lot about Felix, the most of it was´nt very charming for him. I never met this man, but I thing what he did is very impressing. Could it be that some people are just upset that he got all the puplic?
After I did the first ram air wingsuitjumps from 1988 to 1994, Patric started the same thing, a little better promoted.
After I did the first skyrayjumps in 1999, Felix started the same thing, also a little better promoted.
But you know what, I dont care. What I did was for myself. Some people know that it was kind of pioneer stuff, most did´nt reconised.
When you start doing something new, be sure not running after glory. If you dont do it for yourself and the pure fun of flying you having the wrong goals. On the other hand there are a lot of people needing this puplic, which is ok for them; I´m happy not being one of them.
