00:02 - To shoot these stunts for Mission Impossible,

00:04 with Tom, there are no limits.

00:06 So we become a little bit more adventurous every time.

00:08 - Tom's doing a sport very few people on this planet do.

00:13 It's called speed flying.

00:14 - It's a very beautiful and delicate sport.

00:17 - But it also is one of the most dangerous sports

00:20 in the world.

00:21 While it may look similar, speed flying is not skydiving.

00:25 Skydiving is fairly predictable.

00:28 Speed flying is incredibly unpredictable.

00:30 - It's a very small canopy racing down a mountain

00:35 just feet off the ground.

00:36 - Any sort of crosswind could put Tom in peril.

00:39 - We're gonna do spirals.

00:42 And we're landing in an incredibly high speed,

00:46 over 80 kilometers an hour.

00:48 We've been training for a few years now.

00:54 (dramatic music)

00:58 And we're always looking for what's the most dynamic way

01:00 to shoot this.

01:01 - Coming up with the stunt is only one

01:07 of the technical challenges.

01:09 The other is putting a camera in a place

01:10 that you can see where Tom is operating the speedway.

01:13 - You can't get close to this with a helicopter or a drone.

01:18 - So we had to develop a gimbal system

01:19 flying along with Tom.

01:21 You had cameras hanging off of both sides

01:23 being operated in a helicopter.

01:25 What's going to work is here's you, here's me.

01:28 This is what we need.

01:29 That's one of the things of doing practical action.

01:37 We are at the mercy of weather.

01:39 It's too dangerous.

01:43 - The wind's dropping down.

01:45 It's only gonna get better.

01:47 - Let's go, let's go, let's go.

01:48 I'm ready.

01:49 (dramatic music)

01:52 - Confirming you have pictures?

02:00 - Pictures good.

02:01 - Three, two, one, action.

02:03 - Tom is airborne, Tom is airborne.

02:11 (dramatic music)

02:17 (dramatic music)

02:19 - Flying very close to rocks looks quite beautiful.

02:22 Behind the scenes, we were all in absolute terror.

02:25 Landing, Tom had to be flying towards the camera vehicle.

02:29 That meant that Tom had to be at the exact mark

02:32 or it can end in disaster.

02:34 It is truly a one of a kind adventure.
