In to speak with a B in top and next. ONE. THE S. E. the sweater, I asked if they had heard about "Jevto Dedijer"; they stopped themselves for a moment and said "they does not think". When I in the required bend, aeoeB.A.S.E. 66", did it reply, "The book? Yes I heard about him". In a sport where the names seem to become lost and number takes their place Jevto Dedijer cemented his number in the history of the sport to the exit points of Europe and behind the jacket of orange book with colored brightness with the simple title, "TO BASE 66".

A history of a young man that took the parachutisme at the age of 17, that in summer of 1983 sets up of Paris, France of his fatherland of Sweden to begin his career of work and during this period it discovered an adventure of a life.

Yuri Kuznetsov-BASE416 described the book as "BASES 66 are a fascinating history of life and death, the terror and the joy, and intimate friendship. It is an account of extraordinary people that take a step beyond".

Does not only Dedijer paints a picture of his innovative B. ONE. THE S. E. the experiences, but brings in to play the dynamics to conceal and the balance of his trip in to attain his B. ONE. THE S. the number of E of the family, work of the and relations.

I wrote at first to the B. ONE. THE S. E. the sweater turned the months of author, introducing itself there is and order his book of his website. I asked if we could speak once I completed reading his history, to which it said "this would be a pleasure to speak with you" and sent me his telephone number. To the final one, the pleasure became the expression to make the acquaintance this energetic man that maintained his thirst for the fear and entertainment. For those of you that read the history or met Dedijer, I hope that you appreciate to hear of an old friend. For those that has nevertheless to do then, read discussion and does then a favor and buys the book.

The first one 5 questions is of a university student/B.A.S.E. the sweater (Spawnmaster) that had written a book magazine for a class.

1) During the first days of B. ONE. THE S. E. the community was a lot smaller one and it must have been felt very solitary during this period, the being a pioneer and on the edge same of a new one and fascinating activity. How did you overcome the fear of the "unknown" as you did not have past experiences to draw of?

Do you know that? I never overcame the fear of the unknown one because it transformed itself in the fear of the known, of which was even worse. This is today difficult to imagine a world without Internet, the e-mail, MSN, YouTube etc. but in a direction it was good. We had to count completely of our own judgement and the knowledge, that when we began jumping in 1982 were not impressive. We had at required person the counsel, person to speak to that were more tested than we were and we did not have index where to find these guys. We heard about people BASE to jump by the grape vine on the Dropzone The Ferted Paris exterior Clumsier. That was it. We felt in fact solitary and that it did even more to fascinate.

2) Your book B. ONE. THE S. E. 66 do not detail a lot of that you were active after you attained your B. ONE. THE S. E. the number.

Apreds my jump of Trollveggen I the type of rested for a year. I needed the perspective on what I had accomplished and I felt as as if I continued BASES that jumps I would take of bigger and bigger risks, try more things, jump lower objects etc. But after that breaks I returned to Kochertalbrucke for a weekend to jump with Scott and to Bernard, I went To Span Day and that was of him. In the total I did 15 DISGUSTING jumps although it felt as if I had done 100. Every jump exhausted with emotion because we had to amount things along the way. Our parachutes were not the things more fresh in the world and I did not trust really my engrenage and that is the type of nerve tempest!

3) To Do you remains in contact with the other sweaters and is anxious the the current of the sport as a body?

Ouais I remain in contact with the DISGUSTING jumping community because I obtain from the e-mail and calls of the people that read my book. I exchange ideas with of guys outsideae" Tom Aiello, Johnny Utah and a lot of people that less is tested. I am on the DISGUSTING forums reading, looking at videos etc. and I am stunned to how removed the sport, not that is terrible to call BASES that jumps a sport because that means that it became if the principal current, came. Fifth August I meet the sweater Marc Audap French DISGUSTING in the bar to the 56 floors in the Tower of Montparnasse to Paris. Sixth August I a meeting a writer of Portuguese screen in the same place and it treats currently a game of screen base on my book.

4) To Do You never wants to return to B.A.S.E. ?

I never felt also close to to do another DISGUSTING jump only when I came To Span Day in 2006. I was there to promote my book and all these people said me: '' To Light Jevto, do a jump, just the one. You are the love of gonna it. '' I spent the weekend looks at other people jump and that was hard true. On the other hand how intelligent this would have been to girth on a DISGUSTING equipment and passes the edge of the bridge 22 years after having having done my last basic jump? That is how you finish by death.

5) to That you think the B. ONE. THE S. E. jumping to pilot to wingsuit or the skiing basis that jumps?

I think that it is big that the sweaters innovate outside and invent new manners to entertain and are frightened. This is as any any adrenaline based activity; the things need to evolve to remain pertinent.

1. What did happen Cloudia?

I sold Cloudia to a Swedish Paratrooper in 1985 but I think that she was in a retirement house since a long time now.

2. The history of one of sale to the newspapers is gathered on by a lot in the community of B. ONE. THE S. E. the sweaters. Did you receive the personal critic when your history appeared in the papers? You freely admit in your book that you sold to your history to earn money.

No, I did not receive critic because there was not true speech of community of at that very moment and it was also a manner to communicate with the other DISGUSTING sweaters. '' I read of a guy that jumped a bridge to Switzerland, we to allow going the check it out''. That was how we learned from the objects of jumpable and other DISGUSTING sweaters. Remember of, no Internet, no e-mail. I guess items edditione became as to have a sponsor. Today there is the team to the Red increase, of return then it sold the history to the press.

3. What you motivated for write B. ONE. THE S. E. 66 and divide not only say it B. ONE. THE S. E. the jumps but your personal life also?

I wrote the book for several reasons. The first the one was to find the response to why I all did that. Surprised! I never discovered really. The better response than I found if is far: BASE to jump is the reality in his truer direction; life and the separated death only by your own decisions. The second reason is that I thought it would be funny for my childlike ones to be able to read of my adventures. Today they say me always: '' The Dad, did you see that the guy that jumped of a cliff with a wing process''? I say them I stuffed as that more than 20 years there is but I does not have any video to prove it and without a video I guess it them never arrived. If while securing my book a day they should obtain a better comprehension for this than I supported then. The third reason is that I decided to write the book for the people interested in the adventure and the crazy pursuits. I never wanted the book to be one shows technical for the DISGUSTING jumping community and I believe that you cannot separate BASES that jumps of what we call our '' normal'' life. How entertainment WOULD BASE to jump is if we never returned to our normal one lives in enters. It does the worldly things as the laundry soap, drinking to small blows a lathed one to Starbucks, washing the car etc that the brands BASE more to excite to jump. A moment that you are in the '' normal', the world and the next one you freefalliez of a cliff.

4. Were Bernard and Scott conscious that you were going to write the book? Which was their initial reaction to the book?

Ouais I said them I wrote a book but I never allow them of bed the manuscript. After all I wrote of my perception of the entire adventure. Scott liked that the book and promoted it actively in his entourage to Bangkok. I do not think that Bernard never read it because it does not read the English.

It took a long time to obtain the printed book. After having having finished my first manuscript of 200 pages I pushed the bad button on my word processing machine (that is that we called the supports then) and the entire manuscript is itself volatised. I did not have a copy and that was it. It took me a year to the gathering that the courage to begin the writing out of nothing again.

5. I know that you mentioned me in the past that a scriptwriter develops a scenario to bring B. A. THE S. E. 66 to film. The scriptwriter feels that there is a rather big audience to deserve the support for a film or it is looked at as an independent film?

Here Joao Martins, the response of the writer of screen.

I believe that there is a lot more "TO BASE 66" than bases that jumps. The basic not ripening one the history of courage, friendship and the discovery of things of finer life has a universal call that can attain big audiences. We did not limit to the DISGUSTING niche of the sweater to all!

This is said, it must be understood that in the process of screenwriting it is not sensible to talk about a choice between an approach "advertising" or "independent". The scriptwriter - if it is intellectually honest - will use although forms and the substance it can find necessary to say a good history. Not more, not less.

The history said in BASIS 66 are a lot of even the Oscar wins Man documentary on the Wire that is a history of a French guy, Philippe Small, that suspended a wire between the twin turns to New York in 1976 a market of long one in wide 8 times.

6. I seen where you organize a meeting of "the idiots club" in France during the following year when was the last time you all mustered one?

The last time the three of met us were themselves when we jumped Kochertalbrucke in 1985! I met Scott in A Take the Ile, Bangkok and Paris and I met with Bernard several times but there was a long time to Paris since the Club of Idiot had an annual meeting. When we meet will have to be it without our women. Otherwise we will try to include ourselves, is polite and not the curse. That would be bad.

7. I know your jumped woman in parachute with you, you took your children that jump in parachute and you would want to know if they B. ONE. THE S. E. jumped?

I did not take my childlike ones that jump in parachute nevertheless but the project is to celebrate my birthday 50 in the free fall the four of us. My Chloed of girl asked my last week if the project always was on. Damien, my son, is artist and has the interest of o in BASIS but with Chloed it is different. She is in to take risk (she flew a pair of John in a store when she was 13!) and ouais I would like to know if she decides to beat the world liberates dive records, becomes a fighter to the increase or a trainer of white shark. I would dread it but how well placed I is to criticize such a decision?

8. Which is your last passion?

I had this dilemma since I stopped BASES that jumps. What will do-t I now to keep the adrenaline flows? It came naturally although. Since my childhood in Sweden I had this passion for the nature and the wildlife. My parents had a cottage in the wood in Sweden of the south and my brother and I spent all our free time outside. As I live in Quebec, in Canada of the east, the is not any lack of space, the wildlife, the rivers, the lakes etc. I spend about a months per year only in wood, the track bears with the small ones (ouais I do not know intelligent!), sleep where the wolves muster themselves and listen yells them, the fly fish for the salmonae¦ I feel totally free and to peace all alone in the middle of nullepart. My next project is to spend an only months in Yukon, paddling down below a river in a canoe.

9. What did B. ONE. THE S. E. contributes to your personal growth as a person?

I became without any doubts a stronger person mentally. It helped me extremely in my professional life and as a matter owner because taking premeditated risks come naturally now and I does not have any problem that dares in the unknown one. Once you stared at the death in the eye several times are not you the same more. On the other hand I became a more difficult person for '' normal'' the people to be about. I demand very, has a strange attention to detail and can be arrogant.

10. How you came to live in Canada?

I worked as a marketing Director for IKEA in France and a day I went the fishing to the fly on a lake close to Paris. I was lost in my thoughts when I had suddenly a vision. I saw my grandchildren, that exists not nevertheless, climb me and ask: '' The Pedped, we to say of your life'.' I began saying the of my career in Marketing, my pleasant Volvo 480 etc. Apreds two minutes that they obtained from my knees and saved themselves. I was horrified, was stopped the fishing and drove to the house. Immediately that I returned I said my Yolaine of woman: '' We must change the history, the grandchildren that we have do not nevertheless do not want to sit on my knees, and my life history is to be bothered! (I had BASES jumped but to me this was not any big matter. It took the time for me to discover that it was a special one of little.) If we have gone out the world-wide Atlas and did a short list of 7 countries. Only two years later I took Yolaine, Damien, that was 5 to the time, and Chloed, that the one was, to the Airport of the city of Quebec. They had never regulated the foot to the Canada before and we were here for the last one 15 years. Yolaine was or foument in the love with me to trust me that a lot of or totally insane. I think that she was insane.

11. Are your parents always living? What did happen your brother?

My father passed far in his bed in Dubrovnik, Croatia, in 2005 at the age of 94. The last book it read before his death was DISGUSTING 66. I think that it read it 10 times and it said me every time it finished it that it could not believe that I had done. Come from a guy that was in the 101 airborne one and keeps body of Taylor of Maxwell of General in the fight of the renflement is the narcotic type. My mother always lives in Sweden of the south and is in the good health. Last week she sent me an e-mail that says that she had looked at just a process of wing of guy me that jumps a cliff in Norway and that I had to promise of never to do so foolish something again. I promised of never TO BASE the jump but could not promise it again I would not do foolish something in the future. My Miki of brother lives on the peaceful coast in Sweden with his Cecilia of woman and Corbin of son. They has an ecological farm of 35 half-hectares and has a merger as the relation with the nature and the animals the that surrounds.

12. You write in your book that B. ONE. THE S. E. jumping of the to the websites did is "easy" for the people to obtain in B. ONE. THE S. E. and that the First Courses of Jump can have a sweater on and entering a day question. You add that that is "the dangerous things". Even with the advancement in the engrenage, you feel always that this is too "easy" to obtain in the sport?

Any available training is outside big. The engrenage is fantastic and there is a huge quantity of collective knowledge outside. BASE to jump is more accessible one, or more accessible sewings, today that never beforehand. I read just an item in Exterior Magazine, the same problem with the tribut to Shane McConkey, of how K2 is well on his manner to becomes the new dangerous place in the Himalayas. When you obtain from the people with the very small training and the small knowledge in top on a mountain as that this is a disaster in the expectation. It is the same with BASIS that jumps. BASE jump appears big on YouTube but this is not for everyone.

13. Besides the advances in the engrenage, the First Jump flows and the wealth of information on the internet, you see changes to the "philosophy "of B. ONE. THE S. E. itself?

Of course there was a change. 20 years ago we were in the innovative era of BASES and those are frightful, challenging and excite times. Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay did facing the same position when they brought up Everest in 1953, therefore did Joe Kittinger when it jumped of a montgolfia¨re of 102,000 feet in 1960. Having had the occasion to test the innovative era of BASES is something that I will cherish forever. I think more '' the Sports of Extremity'' crossed the same thing. Of return in the 80IES BASES was a more personal thing than today because we not we had to be concerned with the cameras, YouTube downloads etc. But now I will stop because I begin seeming as an old pet!

14. Do you see a common wire in all the sweaters, without taking account of the location, the sex or the competence level?

Ouais I do and I think that it goes not only for the DISGUSTING sweaters but for all the adrenaline based activities. Just the look and the soldiers, they feel that the people of the exterior one do not understand them. They have difficulties that communicate their experiences and their sensations to the people that were not in a fight zone. The same goes for the war photographers, the fighter pilots, liberates mountaineers I think that most of the DISGUSTING sweaters have a perspective not very complicated on life, as to drink huge quantities of alcohol, to be wild, examines the edge or maybe I speak just of me here! ?

15. Which counsel would you offer to the new sweaters?

The day do not feel you the fear, stop. The day that you feel on confiding, stop. The day that you do not trust, stop. By the manner that is a good required question your oneself ae" I trust today? Always to listen your entrails. I would counsel them also to read the item of Aiello of Tom ae" obtaining in the BASIS. I liked it when it gave tests practice as: If a piece falls of the table, you take it before it hits the ground? If no, not to obtain in the BASIS.

I would counsel also to a new sweater one to regulate personal limits and never to collapse to group itself pressure of the other DISGUSTING sweaters.

Question of bonus: Today when a new sweater request of the news on the forum that they are say "to go read" or "you are not ready because you had to ask" I know that Scott wrote letters to Carl for the counsel. Would you have always jumped if the response of Carl or John to your letters was "goes read" or "you are not ready because you had to ask questions"?

There was nothing that could have stopped us to jump. We were determined to obtain our DISGUSTING numbers. It could seem today to the guimauve but that is how we felt of him. If someone had said me: '' Are not You ready because you must ask'.', I would have kicked it down below very high something! Who would never be ready to jump if you had to exhaust all the questions that circulate in your head before jumping? I think that it is a matter of the balance; the balance between to read, to lead with the experienced sweaters, looking at videos, reading the reports of incident and the hands on the experience etc. It is to trust you and your buddies who jump with your life.
