psychokiwi_base 0 #3 December 4, 2006 It's vey, VERY DANGEROUS. Don't go there. The local Maori tribes that own the Es will catch you and eat you...they're canibals...really they are. But if you have enough money and can afford personal security and an A Star helicopter you'll be just fine. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And then tell the taxi driver from Ethiopia not to call the police as you will be tortured (and he understands.....).

It is however not nearly as bad as landing in the middle of an intersection whilst half of Aucklands Police force are arresting a posse of nightclub brawlers only 25 metres away. You could always call that a much needed distraction for an exceedingly tense situation and only a modest fine. Best part of that one was that the LOCAL MAORIS DIDN'T EAT YOU...BECAUSE THAT DOES HAPPEN IN NEW ZEALAND. That's why the Somali cabbie was so nervous, dawn is feeding time.

He jumps a very unique rig and he never asks for a gear check. Have Fun!

When I shot his jump I thought “That guy flies like Superman with tattoos”. Oh yeah, and he doesn't wear his underwear outside his pants. Superman is kryptonite green with envy. Have Fun!
