Extreme wingsuit flying (The TEDTalk)

Prevoditelj: Ivona Papa Recezent: Mislav Ante Omazić - EFZG

I started with paragliding.

Počeo sam s paraglidingom.

Paragliding is taking off from mountains

U padobranskim letovima uzletite sa planine

with a paraglider, with the possibility to

s padobranom, i možete letjeti

fly cross-country, distance,

preko cijelih područja, razdaljina,

just with the use of thermals to soar.

samo jedreći na toplinskim strujama.

Also different aerobatic maneuvers are possible

Mogući su i različiti akrobatski manevri

with a paraglider.

pomoću padobranskog jedra.

From there I started with skydiving.

Odatle sam nastavio skakati padobranom.

In this picture you can see

Na ovoj slici možete vidjeti

there is a four-way skydive,

četverostrano skakanje padobranom,

four people flying together,

četvero ljudi leti zajedno,

and on the left hand side it's the camera flier

a na lijevoj strani je skakač s kamerom

with the camera mounted to his helmet

pričvršćenom na kacigu

so he can film the whole jump,

tako da može snimati cijeli skok.

for the film itself and also for the judging.

za sam film ali i za sudove.

From regular, relative skydiving

Od običnog skakanja padobranom

I went on to freeflying.

sam prešao na slobodan let.

Freeflying is more the three-dimensional skydiving.

Slobodan let je više trodimenzionalno skakanje padobranom.

You can see the skydiver with the red suit,

Možete vidjeti skakača padobranom u crvenom odijelu,

he's in a stand-up position.

uspravno stoji.

The one with the yellow-green suit,

Ovaj u žuto-zelenom odijelu,

he's flying head-down.

on leti glavom nadolje.

And that's me in the background, carving around the whole formation

A ovo u pozadini sam ja, kružim oko cijele formacije

in freefall also, with the helmet cam

također u slobodnom padu, sa kamerom na kacigi

to film this jump.

da snimim ovaj skok.

From freeflying I went on to skysurfing.

Od slobodnog pada sam prešao na surfanje nebom.

Skysurfing is skydiving with a board on the feet.

Surfanje nebom je slobodan pad u kojem stojite na dasci.

You can imagine with this big surface

Možete zamisliti sa ovako velikom površinom

of a skysurfing board,

daske za surfanje nebom,

there is a lot of force, a lot of power.

tu je velika sila, velika snaga.

Of course I can use this power

Naravno, mogu koristiti ovu silu

for example for nice spinning -- we call it "helicopter moves."

za lijepe vrtnje, na primjer -- zovemo ih "helikopterski pokreti".

From there I went on to wingsuit flying.

Odatle sam prešao na leteća odijela.

Wingsuit flying is a suit,

Leteće odijelo je odijelo,

that I can make fly, just only with my body.

kojim mogu letjeti koristeći samo svoje tijelo.

If I put some tension on my body, tension on my suit,

Ako zategnem dio tijela, zategnutost na odijelu,

I can make it fly. And as you see

mogu ga učiniti letećim. I kao što vidite

the fall rate is much much slower

brzina pada je puno puno sporija

because of the bigger surface.

zbog veće površine.

With a proper body position I'm able to really move forward

S pravom pozicijom tijela mogu se stvarno kretati naprijed

to gain quite some distance.

i postići poveću udaljenost.

This is a jump I did in Rio de Janeiro.

Ovo je skok kojeg sam učinio u Rio de Janeiru.

You can see the Copacabana on the left-hand side.

Možete vidjeti Copacabanu na lijevoj strani.

From there with all the skills and knowledge

Odatle sa svim vještinama i znanjem

from paragliding and all the different disciplines

iz paraglidinga i ostalih različitih disciplina

in skydiving, I went on to BASE jumping.

iz skakanja padobranom, prešao sam na BASE jumping.

BASE jumping is skydiving from fixed objects,

BASE jumping je skakanje padobranom sa čvrstih objekata,

like buildings, antennae, bridges and earth --

poput zgrada, antena, mostova i zemlje --

meaning mountains, cliffs.

mislim na planine i litice.

It's for sure -- for me -- it's the ultimate feeling

Sigurno je -- za mene -- to najbolji osjećaj

of being in free fall,

kad slobodno padaš,

with all the visual references.

sa svim vizualnim podražajima.

So my goal soon was to discover new places

Tako je uskoro moj cilj postao otkriti nova mjesta

that nobody had jumped before.

s kojih nitko nije prije skakao.

So in summer 2000 I was the first to BASE jump

Tako u ljeto 2000. sam bio prvi koji je skočio BASE jump

the Eiger North Face in Switzerland.

sa sjevernog vrha Eigera u Švicarskoj.

Two years after this, I was the first to BASE jump from Matterhorn,

Dvije godine nakon toga, prvi sam skakao BASE jump sa Matterhorna,

a very famous mountain that probably

jako poznate planine za koju

everybody knows in here.

vjerojatno svi ovdje znaju.

2005 I did a BASE jump from the Eiger, from the Monk and from the Jungfrau,

2005. sam skakao BASE jump s Eigera, Monka i Jungfraua,

three very famous mountains in Switzerland.

tri jako poznate planine u Švicarskoj.

The special thing on these three jumps were,

Posebno za ova tri skoka je bilo,

I hiked them all and climbed them all in only one day.

sva tri sam pješačio i popeo se u jednom danu.

In 2008 I jumped the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

2008. sam skakao s Eiffelovog tornja u Parizu.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

So with all this knowledge, I also

Tako sa svim ovim znanjem,

wanted to get into stunts.

želio sam i prijeći u kaskadere.

So with some friends we started to do different tricks,

Tako sam s nekim prijateljima počeo izvoditi različite trikove,

like for example this jump here,

kao primjerice ovaj skok tu,

I jumped from a paraglider.

skakao sam s paraglidera.

Or here -- everybody was freezing, pretty much, except me,

Ili tu -- svi su se smrzavali, uglavnom, osim mene,

because it was very cold in Austria

zato što je bilo jako hladno u Austriji

where we did this filming.

gdje smo ovo snimali.

Everybody sitting in a basket,

Svi su sjedili u košari,

and I was on top of the balloon,

a ja sam bio na vrhu balona,

ready to slide down with my skysurf board.

spreman da skliznem dolje sa svojom daskom za slobodan pad.

Or this jump, from a moving truck on the highway.

Ili ovaj skok, s kamiona u vožnji na autocesti.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

Extreme sports on top level like this

Ekstremni sportovi na ovakvoj razini

is only possible if you practice step by step,

su mogući samo ako vježbate korak po korak,

if you really work hard on your skills

ako stvarno radite naporno na svojim vještinama

and on your knowledge.

i svom znanju.

Of course you need to be in physical, very good, condition,

Naravno da morate biti u fizički jako dobrom stanju,

so I'm training a lot.

tako da puno treniram.

You need to have the best possible equipment.

Morate imati najbolju moguću opremu.

And probably the most important is

I vjerojatno najvažnije je

you have to work on your mental skills, mental preparation.

da morate raditi na svojim mentalnim vještinama, mentalnoj pripremi.

And all this to come as close as possible

I sve ovo da biste došli koliko je moguće blizu

to the human dream of being able to fly.

ljudskom snu da možete letjeti.

So for 2009,

Tako za 2009.,

I'm training hard for my two new projects.

treniram puno za svoja dva projekta.

The first one, I want to set a world record

Prvi je, želim postaviti svjetski rekord

in flying from a cliff with my wingsuit.

u letu letećim odijelom sa litice.

And I want to set a new record,

I želim postaviti novi rekord,

with the longest distance ever flown.

sa najdužom udaljenošću ikad preletenom.

For my second project,

Za svoj drugi projekt,

I have a sensational idea

imam senzacionalnu ideju

of a jump that never has been done before.

za skok kakav se nikad prije nije napravio.

So now, on the following movie you will see

Tako sada, na sljedećem filmu ćete vidjeti

that I'm much better in flying a wingsuit

da sam mnogo bolji u letu letećim odijelom

than speaking in English.

nego u govorenju engleskog.

Enjoy, and thank you very much.

Uživajte, i hvala vam puno.

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

June Cohen: I have some questions.

June Cohen: Imam nekoliko pitanja.

I think we all might have some questions.

Mislim da svi imamo nekoliko pitanja.

Question one: so does that actually feel

Prvo pitanje: je li taj osjećaj stvarno

the way the flying dream does?

kao što ste sanjali da bi letenje trebalo biti?

Because it looks like it might.

Jer izgleda kao da bi moglo biti.

Ueli Gegenschatz: Pretty much. I believe this is probably the closest

Ueli Gegenshatz: Poprilično. Vjerujem da je ovo vjerojatno najbliže

possibility to come to the dream of being able to fly.

koliko se možete približiti snu da možete letjeti.

JC: I know the answer to this, but how do you land?

JC: Znam odgovor na ovo, ali kako sletite?

UE: Parachute. We have to open a parachute

UE: Padobranom. Moramo otvoriti padobran

just seconds before, I would say, impact.

samo par sekundi prije, rekao bih, udara.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

It's not possible to land a wingsuit yet.

S letećim odijelom još nije moguće sletjeti.

JC: Yet. But people are trying. Are you among those --

JC: Još. Ali ljudi pokušavaju. I ti si među onima -

you're not going to commit -- are you among those trying to do it?

nećeš se obvezati -- jesi li među tima koji to pokušavaju?

UE: It's a dream. It's a dream. Yeah.

UE: To je san. To je san. Da.

We're still working on it and we're

Još radimo na tome i

developing the wingsuits to get better performance,

razvijamo leteća odijela da budu učinkovitija,

to get more knowledge.

da steknemo više znanja.

And I believe soon.

I vjerujem uskoro.

JC: All right. Well we will watch this space. But I have two more questions.

JC: U redu. Pa, mi ćemo pratiti to područje. Ali imam još dva pitanja:

What is the -- there was exhaust coming

Što je -- bio je nekakav ispuh

out of the back of the wingsuit. Was that a propelled wingsuit that you were wearing?

sa stražnje strane letećeg odijela. Jesi li to nosio leteće odijelo sa propelerom?

UE: Nope. It's just smoke.

UE: Ne. To je samo dim.

JC: Coming off of you?

JC: Dolazi od tebe?

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

UE: Hopefully not.

UE: Nadam se da ne.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

JC: That seems dangerous.

JC: To se čini opasno.

UE: No, smoke is for two reasons,

UE: Ne, dim je tu iz dva razloga,

you can see the speed, you can see the way

da možete vidjeti brzinu, možete vidjeti put

where I was flying.

kojim sam letio.

That's reason number one. And reason number two:

To je razlog broj jedan. A razlog broj dva:

it's much easier for the camera guy to film

puno je lakše kamermanu snimati

If I'm using smoke.

ako koristim dim.

JC: Ah, I see. So the wingsuit is set up to deliberately release smoke

JC: Aha, shvaćam. Tako ste namjestili da leteće odijelo namjerno otpušta dim

so that you can be tracked. One more question.

da vas je lakše pratiti. Još jedno pitanje.

What do you do to to cover your face?

Što činite da zaštitite lice?

Because I just keep thinking of going that fast

Zato što stalno razmišljam ako idete tako brzo

and having your whole face smushed backwards.

da vam je cijelo lice prignječeno prema natrag.

Are you in a helmet? Are you in goggles?

Imaš li kacigu? Imaš li zaštitne naočale?

UE: The purest and the best feeling would be with only goggles.

UE: Najčišći i najbolji je osjećaj kad imate samo zaštitne naočale.

JC: And is that how you usually fly?

JC: I zar onda tako inače letiš?

UE: Usually I'm wearing a helmet. In the mountains I'm always wearing a helmet

UE: Obično nosim kacigu. U planinama uvijek nosim kacigu

because of landings -- usually it's difficult --

zbog slijetanja -- obično je teško --

it's not like regular skydiving where you have like the big landings.

nije kao obično skakanje padobranom kad imate velik prostor za slijetanje.

So you have to be prepared.

Tako da morate biti spremni.

JC: Right. Now is there anything you don't do?

JC: U redu. Ima li išta što ne bi učinio?

Do people come to you with projects and say, "We want you to do this!"

Dođu li ti ljudi s projektima i kažu: "Želimo da ovo napraviš!"

and do you ever say, "No, no I'm not going to."

i kažeš li ikad: "Ne, neću to učiniti."

UE: Oh of course, of course. Some people have crazy ideas and --

UE: O, naravno, naravno. Neki ljudi imaju lude ideje i --

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

JC: ...a round of applause...

JC: ... molim pljesak...

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

UE: Thank you very much.

UE: Hvala vam puno.

(Applause)

(Pljesak)
