Paraglide Queenstown, NZ 9/25/04 TR

On the 9/25/04, Nick flew Skier666 and Mrs. 666 above the lake...it was Mrs. 666's first time so she was a little nervous.

They make you go tamdem? Back in the early 90's they would let you go solo, with minimal training.

Your killing me with your TR's....
Oh how I want out of this cube.

Nice pics. Looks like a nice launch site and grassy LZ. How far above launch did you get? Or was it a sled ride to the LZ?

Your pics kind of make me want to fly again. I flew for about four years and gave it up last year.

Got a short 5mb helmet cam vid of a flight in Yelapa, Mexico a couple years ago. Beautiful place to fly.

Yeah...I have NO experience in flying other than as a passenger on a airplane. So, I'll let my friends fly me...until I have the time or dying need to fly solo...with the extra weight we've done some wicked spirals to the ground. :)

The location is pretty sick and they even do heli trips to fly you off almost any mountain you want....

Its basically on the top of a moutain and you can take off either side depending on the wind. You land in the Rugby fields in town....so its pretty easy.
