Espen Fadnes looks calm and collected before jumping off a 4,068 foot cliff in Stryn, Norway.
"I'm terrified," Fadnes is quoted as saying in the YouTube video documenting his flight. "I've just developed techniques and methods to cope with the fear."
With that, Fadnes jumps and begins flying at speeds of up to 155 mph in his wingsuit through a gorge in Stryn, Norway, according to the Daily Mail.
Wingsuit flying is nothing new for Fadnes, who won the ProBase Wingsuit Race in 2010.
But for this flyer, the daring jumps can be as good as a trip to a psychologist.
"The walk up the mountain can be like therapy," Fadnes says in the video. "Your hesitations are always worse when you're on level ground."
