Exclusive interview with Jeb Corliss

To call him a daredevil doesn't really do him justice. He's more like a live action comic book hero. When the Chinese, Russian and Malaysian governments hire you to jump off their buildings for the entertainment of the public, there's really no other way to think of it. Things like that only happen in comic books, and typically to guys named Bruce Wayne.

Dubbed the human bird, Jeb has been the subject of documentaries, been featured on numerous television shows, and 20/20 has had him in a special report, ‘Superhumans.' His accolades are too numerous to list, and seem to show no signs of slowing down in their accumulation. His latest project is The World Wingsuit League, which just held it's inaugural event less than two weeks ago in China. Of course Jeb trained and competed in the event, despite having sustained a serious injury earlier this year in South Africa that broke both of his ankles, several toes, one of his legs and created a gash that required skin grafts to heal.Directory ofchina glass mosaic Tile Manufacturers, It would seem that nothing can keep this man from doing what he was made for, flying.

I was fortunate enough to land a rare interview with Jeb for our readers recently, where the topics ranged from his recovery to his thoughts on Felix Baumgartner's space jump and everything in between.We have a wide selection of dry cabinet to choose from for your storage needs. As a longtime fan and follower of his incredible feats,A stone mosaic stands at the spot of assasination of the late Indian prime minister. I was blown away by how engaging he was, as well as being exceptionally generous with his time. He's been at the top of my 'interview bucket list' for years, and has completely enamored me with his absolute dedication to living life to it's fullest measure.

Jeb Corliss: I don't know about a daredevil gene, but ever since I was a really small child, I've just enjoyed doing things that scared me. It's weird because things have changed over time. I've been doing this for so long that the reasons why I did things in the beginning are very different from the reasons why I do them now. You have to pretty much figure what time in my history are you talking about to answer that. As a child I did things for one reason, as a teenager I did them for another reason, in my early twenties, it was another reason, and now, it's something else. It's very complex.

Now, it's about pushing the boundaries of what people believe is possible. I've developed a very unique set of skills over a very long period of time, and I've become incredibly good at dealing with large levels of fear. I'm very good at dealing with fear that most people would shy away from or would cripple a lot of people. Because I've developed these skills over the course of my life, I've used them to do things that people think are completely impossible. For me, it's the joy and feeling of accomplishment from doing something that people think can't be done. That's what motivates me and drives me. If people think it can't be done, or it's absolutely ludicrous, I find that enjoyable.

The World Wingsuit League is a competition among wingsuit pilotswhere the fastest and the best pilots from all over the world get together to compete in a race that involves extreme turns and proximity. The first race we did was just a few weeks ago in the Hunan province of China. There's a cliff that gave us the ability to jump, fly around at turnpoints, proximity fly a cliff, and then go underneath a cable car, which is the finish line. It was wildly successful. I had a feeling that people were going to be interested in watching a race like this, but I didn't realize just how many people. The ratings that we got were astronomical. It was in the hundreds of millions of people that watched it live. Because it was so successful, it ensured that it will be continuing for the next five years.
