Looks like fun.  I like the boot shot of you at 700 ft.  Reminds me of one of my boundary waters shots...

I think I like yours better though. 8-)

awesome shots, and an awesome oppurtunity, nothing like that ever comes down my way :(
im sorry, but in the "action" :P it looks like your wearing magnums or an immitation magnum boot! they had better be pro boots and not magnums. i use good old fashioned UK assault boots :D :D

You mean paragliding, or obscene snow-obelisks?

:D


Para-gliding is on my list... looks like pure flying enjoyment! ;D

Paragliding. Phallic symbols are as old as history itself. Cerne Abbas Giant ;)

That or hang-gliding. If I was younger I would have a go myself. Probably break my neck now.
