On my first day I didn't sleep enough and couldn't even lift off the ground. The only thing I knew back then was that I have to try this paragliding thing. It soon got me hooked :) Today, a year, 80 flights and around 35 hours of airtime later I have my paragliding license. Paragliding sure changed me alot, and also changed things around me.<br /><br />Air of the future, here I come! :)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KrxvKVwrrso/RXNfF6-KgtI/AAAAAAAAAAw/fb47958ZOF4/s1600-h/IMG_0100.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KrxvKVwrrso/RXNfF6-KgtI/AAAAAAAAAAw/fb47958ZOF4/s200/IMG_0100.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5004448166272729810" border="0" /></a> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KrxvKVwrrso/RXNfF6-KguI/AAAAAAAAAA4/npzm8zCCgd8/s1600-h/IMG_0103.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KrxvKVwrrso/RXNfF6-KguI/AAAAAAAAAA4/npzm8zCCgd8/s200/IMG_0103.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5004448166272729826" border="0" /></a>T.M.Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05927860345044472673noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33853888.post-16727710975126959862006-11-14T20:46:00.000+01:002006-11-14T21:03:59.753+01:00Looks like fun<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/L-MO7ZJeu5Q"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/L-MO7ZJeu5Q" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><br /><br />hehe looks like fun!

If I pass I will have my licence and am free to do whatever I want. (Well almost ;)) Wish me luck!<br /><br />I am not so nervous about the tasks or the landing. My biggest concern is that there will be a lot of snow on the starting place, bad wind to start or that I will fly the tasks in the wrong turning-direction. :)<br /><br />Also this blog layout sucks and has a number of errors. When I find the time I will update it. The school has taken a lot of my free time. <br /><br />Well enjoy the air and stay tuned :)T.M.Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05927860345044472673noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33853888.post-16624781246573429492006-11-07T11:38:00.000+01:002006-11-07T11:40:10.381+01:00Auto-PilotHahaha, now I know why my teacher once said that most paragliders fly better if you do nothing ;) Check out the video!<br /><br /><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/OSkeqeUwvKk"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/OSkeqeUwvKk" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>T.M.Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05927860345044472673noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33853888.post-21033968007972267462006-10-18T23:36:00.000+02:002006-10-18T23:38:46.973+02:00Paragliding in the old daysfound a hilarious video on Google about the old days of paragliding and hanggliding.
