Where It All Began
01 — First Images
Niclas Strohmeier first saw wingsuit BASE jumping videos on YouTube when he was around thirteen or fourteen. The images of people flying through the mountains immediately stayed with him.
02 — Research
Instead of treating the sport as a distant fantasy, he began researching what it would take to get there. He learned that BASE jumping required a foundation in skydiving and started saving money as a teenager.
The videos did not stay a dream. They became a plan.
03 — Skydiving
At seventeen, Niclas completed his skydiving licence. He built experience step by step until, at twenty and with around 340 skydives, he attended a BASE course.

04 — Moving Closer
What began with online inspiration became a long-term commitment. Over time, it helped shape larger decisions, including his move from Germany to Switzerland to be closer to the mountains.
