haymangonzo 0 #1 August 5, 2005 If your in Europe from the 18-21 of August: Pay a visit to the redbull vertigo event. Watching this event got me totally hooked on paragliding, what in the end introduced me to skydiving. Watch this movie to get an idea what its about. So now I'm going to the US later this year to do my AFF. There are normally also some amazing skydiving demos, with swooping, wingsuit from a paraglider and much more. If you're there let me know and I'll by you a beer! *** Nice to meet you toot! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
