How are extreme athletes like Flaviu able to perform in situations where only one wrong step will end their days on our planet? By many hours and years of practice of course! And here Flaviu is not an exception. He has been practising his stunts so many times close to the ground that when he is up in hundreds of meters above sea level on narrow ledges he is able to control his fear and put aside the fact that falling will definitely lead to his death.

I'm really happy that I started my online video interviews! Talking to Flaviu Cernescu is a great example that the world is really open for meeting high level performers from all around the world! 

You should really watch the one minute intro before our conversation starts cause this is thinly way to understand what Flaviu really does and how challenging the places are where he is doing his stunts.
