According to Emir, he became interested in acrobatics when he was just 13 years old. Back then, he realized that he was not afraid of heights.
“Yes, I certainly understand that performing such tricks at such a high altitude is life-threatening but all of us will die eventually. It is better for it to happen while doing what brings you pleasure,” Emir said.
