Oliver Furrer: my personal vision
Skydiving is one of the great passions of my life. Nothing can beat the experience of floating freely through the sky like a bird! Even with more than thirty-three years of experience, I am still addicted to the thrills of skydiving with its many disciplines, and to introduce other people into this fascinating sport. My main focus over the past years has been to compete against the best skydivers in the world and to develop new jumping techniques. In future the main priority will be to act as an instructor and to transfer my know-how to a new generation of skydivers. To combine professional and personal goals while having fun in the process is my way of life. Skydiving has allowed me to collect unforgettable experiences and to meet many new friends all over the world. Following are some of the highlights of my career:
- 2x World Champion (FAI)
- 1x Vice World Champion (FAI)
- 1x World Champion (SSI Pro Tour)
- 5 x US X-Games participater with different medals
- Guinness-Book record holder (first Skysurf World Champion in history)
- World record with Skyglider (cross the Swiss Alps)
- Participation in TV-show’s & acting in several commercials and movies
