davelepka 4 #4 December 12, 2005 Those fucking europeans. With their easy-going, very few lawsuits attitude, and their permissive and awesome ski resorts. Fuck them. I hate them all. Sooo, who's got a room to rent at the bottom of whatever ski resort that was? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davelepka 4 #6 December 12, 2005 Hey now, let's not get ahead of ourselves. I'm pretty sure you're a guy, in which case, no I do not want to fuck for a room. If you're a woman, however, I'm open to discussion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YISkyDive 0 #11 December 13, 2005 I was trying to figure it out. It looks like some small toys though. Their ground speed once airborne is insane. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frost 1 #12 December 13, 2005 QuoteTheir ground speed once airborne is insane. I thought i saw a velocity there. As far as the speed... consider the air density at that altitude.

YISkyDive 0 #16 December 13, 2005 I thought I saw a velo too.. the yellow canopy right? That also makes sense. I just did a big thing on density altitude. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cloggy 1 #18 December 14, 2005 Wow... Amazing.. Touch and go seems rather scary to me... What if your canopy collapses and you're of the cliff again. Take a look at chutes.mpg too I want to try GL in feb, I'll at least take my kite with me to La Clusaz. But still scraping the courage together...

YM4 0 #23 December 23, 2005 Sweet video, Wish we had something like that here in Puerto Rico. We have tall mountains and launching points but no landing area at all."It's not the size of the dog in the fight, It's the size of the fight in the dog!"
