    About this Video
    "Is the end when I hit the ground?" asks Karina Hollekim. The Norwegian athlete has dedicated the last five years of her life to the most deadly of extreme sports: B.A.S.E-Jumping. The commitment to such a sport continually challenges common perceptions of mortality and for that, extreme athletes are often misunderstood.
