RAFAFAN
For the bored TP community I'd like to propose a new exciting hobby!
Wingsuit proximity flying!
I hope that TP can take advantage of the new wide blog design (if possible embed the vids in HD size please). :-) Thanks!
Ok, let's start with a short video which explains the basics. A walk in the park ;-)
Like it? Here two more videos! Enjoy! Thanks to Jokke Sommer and his buddies (Norwegians).
Flying in Norway and Switzerland
I like the music in the third one!!!
This initially intrigued me, but after watching a documentary and reading some forums on it, realized its one of the most dangerous, technically difficult things to learn. So many things can go wrong, mostly due to nature, that only experience and training can get you out of alive. Would never do this.

No way would I ever do this! So afraid of heights that I can't even watch the videos without getting dizzy! LOL!

LOL Bonnie, me neither, I know my limitations - survival! I felt sick in a pod on the London Eye! I'll stick with a fast motorcycle on the ground!

Jesus, RafaFan. Any other great ideas? ;)

Well, at least I'm not the only one feeling this way. Nice to have such good company to commiserate with.

Hey Bonnie, I'm even useless on a ladder! LOL RafaFan, what next?!
Posted by: Jenny | 04/01/2011 at 07:53 AM
they are all amateurs and beginners because none of them live long enoughto become professionals
