With Mr. Ivan Kristoff, we are happy to introduce an idea of a new type of rescue through innovation. With our experience, we can present a new world of rope access in midair that will provide aviation security solutions that have not been presented and attempted ever. With the A.I.R. project, we'll not only open a new page in aviation and rescue history, but we will contribute to new methodologies in security training and crisis management in air, SAR operations and develop new niches in the global aviation and rescue industry
Stanimir Leshev. Dir. General Directorate General Civil Aviation Administration
Ivan Kristoff’s flying, filming, jumping out, descending and ascending experience with private, air-medical, experimental, Gendarmerie, Police and military helicopters is unique. As a self-efficient unit he organized his solo world records for heli-rope access in 1997 and joint breaking record with the Bulgarian Air Force in 2002. Since then, he has pushed the limits on creating the ideal platform to identify the emerging trends and use the latest technological innovations related to helicopters, rope rescue, civil protection and defense.

Избрахме шоколадите на Casa Kakau за новия модел за спасяване Rescue ONE, защото те са съзъздадени по технология "bean to bar" т.е. от какаовите зърна до шоколада, за да ни набавят с необходимата, изчистена от излишни захари, енергийна стимулация за тренировки и ако се налага - за животоспасяващи мисии.
-Иван Кристоф
We chose the Casa Kakau chocolate, because they have passed the test of time in our training activities and they are made in our country, starting from the raw, fermented cocoa beans, which we import directly from the farms in Ecuador. The chocolate is vegan, lecithin free, gluten free, palm oil free.
-Ivan Kristoff
Our Standard Issue Energy Bar is the Craft plain chocolate 70% - the original family recipe of handcrafted bean-to-bar chocolate. This is the purest chocolate in its divine form – made only from premium, selected cocoa beans from Ecuador and brown, unrefined, cane sugar from Colombia.

Today on Popular Mechanics we are doing a story called rappelling that goes over te overall theme of 'Life Saving'. How do you shoot rappelling? You shoot it from a lot of different angles. First of all, safety is the main thing. We are with one of the best in Canada in terms of rappelling and sports' safety. And, we have him hooked up with the different lines, so that nothing happens. He is a brave guy to go over the side. I could not even look, well along do it myself...

"Spiderman"Ivan Kristoff flies above Sofia and saves trapped people in burning buildings. At nigh he is watching the soccer game seating on the roof of the stadium, and after the fighting between fans, he brings them one by one to the police. This is not a scene from the film, but a real project, which started with the Metropolitan Municipality and hometown action hero Ivan Kristoff.
Standart Newspaper
In what he describes as a ” typical scenario for emergency response and rapid deployment of rescue personnel to inaccessible areas,” Ivan Kristoff, demonstrated an aerial emergency response with a helicopter last week at Lion head Golf and Country Club, where Toronto Mayor Mel Lastman held his 11th annual Mayoral Charity Golf Tournament.
Daily Commercial and Construction News
Ivan Kristoff, aka Spiderman, has initiated and committed to the development of this project. The wireless video monitoring from the air, will provide online contact between the emergency services and rescue teams. The helicopter will be equipped with remote camera control photo and video equipment. The visual materials can be used to train rescue teams in an innovative training program, called trailblazing.

Life in the extreme: "in every thing Kristoff does, from extreme skiing, solo rock climbing, as a paraglider pilot, a rescue instructor, even as a photographer hanging high in the air by ropes suspended from helicopters. the element of danger is part his everyday life. In 1991, with a false passport, new name and two different airline tickets for the same plane to Cuba, Kristoff escaped from the communist regime. Two days latter he was in Gander, Newfoundland.

Съществуват фигури, не само от национална, но и от международна значимост. Тяхното признание се дължи не само на уменията, които са доказани, но и на силните им характери, морал, воля за успех и победа. Това са личности с личен почерк, които понякога трудно се възприемат в обществените среди, чийто сив живот започва и свършва с един офис. Иван Кристоф е човек с огромни постижения и България се гордее, че именно българин е обявен за герой на Торонто през 2011г. Облечен в костюм или с дрехите на NIKE, които рекламира, той е една от влиятелните личности, както в България, така и в Канада. Той е звезда, която макар и да не го демонстрира, може да си позволи всичко . В труден момент, той застана зад своя сътрудник и не позволи репутацията му на добър бизнесмен в Италия да се провали... Може би Иван Кристоф Ви изглежда странен, но той е звезда, а не просто бизнесмен.Col.

And reaching a new carrier height… A CTV report on "Working" coming up on News. For some people their job can make them feel like the end of a rope. That’s where Ivan Kristoff finds himself and he just loves it. While some falcons care about their young hundreds of feet above the Earth, an Ontario man is making his living there. Ivan Kristoff is literally climbing the corporate ladder. He scales high-rises doing repairs in places that would terrify most of us, but for Kristoff it is just his job. CTV’s Jennifer Fraser has more in tonight’s report on "Working"
Lloyd Robertson - Anchor:, CTV National News
While most Canadians spend their working hours on in site looking out, Ivan Kristoff prefers being on the outside looking out.. Kristoff is a professional climber, so when it came to starting a business, he did what came naturally. With over 1200 high-rises in Ontario, Kristoff found a combination of services no one else offers. More and more Canadians are designing their own jobs based on their personal skills, but they are doing it differently than the typical entrepreneurs. Kristoff represents a new type of self employed Canadian. Unlike classic entrepreneurs, creativity and courage is more important than start up capital.
