Andrea Dovizioso:
“It has been an extreme experience, really awesome which I’m glad I did, but I don’t think I will do it again very soon! You don’t realize how fast you are because you have no landmarks when you are so up high, I’ve been scared just when the plane stalled, then I heard the sounds from the equipment and I felt like in a movie such as “Huston, we have a problem”, then just silence and you start to fly down incredibly fast. Exciting. Then I felt sick being upside down, because the steer is really fast, you don’t expect it and for a moment I saw everything black.”
