| By

A new video, slated for a commercial during Super Bowl XLVIII shows Austrian stuntman Felix Baumgartner's leap from space Business Insider reported Friday.

"I wish you could see what I see," Baumgartner said in the video. "Sometimes you have to be up really high to understand how small you are," Baumgartner said in the video.

Baumgartner made the infamous 24 mile or 39 kilometer jump in October and GoPro uploaded footage to YouTube Friday GoPro's HERO2 video camera Business Insider reported. Images from seven GoPro Hero 2 video cameras are also evident in the commercial Business Insider reported.

"There it is. There's the world out there," Joe Kittinger, a retired Air Force colonel said in the video when Baumgartner plunged to history.

Baumgartner became the pioneer in going faster than the speed of sound with no assistance mechanically.

The feat was part of the Red Bull Stratos Mission, where Baumgartner's speed ballooned to 843.6 miles per hour or 1,357 kilometers an hour from zero miles per hour according to information from space.com.

"I have been in a violent spin for a long time. Feels like I have to pass out," Baumgartner said in the video following his jump.

GoPro aims to raise money through other methods than investing lots of money.

"Bootstrapping is a really powerful thing," Nicholas Woodside founder and CEO of GoPro told TechCrunch. "As long as you can bootstrap without sacrificing a competitive advantage or moving so slowly that you're eaten alive by competitors the benefits of being able to stay devoted to your singular vision can't be overstated.

"Everyone has an idea over time of what the business should be, and during the formative period too many opinions could be disruptive," Woodside told TechCrunch.
