dont know about a parasail... To get high, use a paraglider with a towing winch. I made it to 3,100' behind a boat last summer. Solo jump recommendation- attach a ballast (water bottle) to one brake to bring the wing/harness down faster. I've never seen a tandem tow, but would guess its close to the same- much depends on the boat/equipment. check out www.towmeup.com to connect with the tow pro, Stu.

Hang Gliders in the Park The Pilot must meet certain criteria to gain a permit to fly the park. Yes a permit is required along with advanced ratings. Its a pretty tight arrangement, and those whom get to fly, know how lucky they are. Tom about hit the nail on the head regarding USHGA and the NPS. The Yosemite NPS knows if they allow Paragliding, then BASE is next. However much time has passed since then, and the pressure is on again. USHGA is again trying to gain access for Foot Launched pilots in NP's. I'm trying to stay optimistic Yes a group of Paragliders were busted for kiting their wings in the park. Climbers get busted for dropping gear/haul bags from the walls.

My condolenses to her family and fiance. Shannon was a total sweet heart, funny and modest. I found this message from her, a classic: >Got my unofficial "A" last night. Did a power tower. 383 feet tall. Dark as hell and scary as fuck, uneven ground too. I nearly cried it was so scary but once I landed I couldn't stop laughing, so I went back up and did it again.< I've attached a photo of Shannon's 1st BASE Jump. She was very proud of that moment... Let me know if a high resolution image is desired- A gift to family and friends in honor of Shannon. JM

I've been up and down the coast and have not seen any jumpable spans. I toured inland about 15 miles in an ultralight and didnt see anything. There used to be a Bungee Tower over the ocean up on a high bluff. It might be 250'??? Dont know if it is still there. There is a new Parasailing contraption that holds 2 people and has a large basket that would be easy to get out of. I asked how high they go on average, 300' with 2 passengers. The Diving is great, but not the best. B sure to check out the smaller tours going to Los Arcos. Have a blast, and drink 1 4 me!

The tyroleans had no noticable change after we let them recover on the long ride home. Quote I havent rope jumped in years, good 2 C the images! My experience has always been from bridges... I was surprised to see the rope attached to a Tyrolean. Can you describe the anchor system? Was it cable or a rope tyrolean? If rope what diameter and kind (Static or Dynamic)? Please keep me posted on future endeavors. feel free to PM me, since this isnt BASE jumping. Josh Morell http://www.imagethisphoto.com

As much as I would love to see a NPS ranger Maced and Taser'd, I had 2 add this 4 others- If a law enforcement officer is confronted with Pepper Spray / Mace / Tear Gas, they do have probable cause to shoot you. Most officers in training are required to experience the effects of Pepper Spray, so they know what to expect if hit. Same goes 4 the Taser~ Best Of Luck Jason, go get'em! -
PM sent- I have thousands of stock BASE jumping photos. I could make U a custom poster if desired~ check out my website for samples http://www.imagethisphoto.com Josh Morell 541-779-1967

QuoteI've broken bones and not known until a day or more later. In an accident, the body automatically releases a lot of natural painkillers (including both adrenaline and endorphins), and muscles tense up to protect the injured bone. It's entirely possible for an accident victim to suffer a fracture of the spine (or femur) without realizing it. reply] Been there done that! Its amazing how adrenaline counteracts pain! On a skydive years back, I broke my ankle landing on uneven ground. I felt a sharp tingling sensation that felt very odd, yet had no problems walking off the LZ. After leaving the DZ, my ankle started throbbing, swelling up, and turning blue.~ Time for Narcotics ~ I'm in pain every day of my life, and get relief when my Adrenaline is pumping! Adrenaline has become my favorite drug for chronic pain relief... Josh Morell www.imagethisphoto.com

http://www.airwave-gliders.com/en/downloadsen/videos/index.html Sorry if thats not click friendly... Check out the 2nd video, or all if yur bored. I thought this was cool! Packs like a round, yet flies like a ram-air and has an airbag harness for hard landings. Be sure to watch the live test drop off a Dam, then the intentional object STRIKE!!!

Before my son was even born, I bought a full body harness for him. As soon as it fit (about 3) him, we started playing on fixed ropes. I slowly built his tolerence up, and gained his trust. He loves to rope up on belay, and jump... He is now almost 5, and getting wild. I have had to really slow down his desired progression. Almost Daily, he is jumping off things. His newest thing, is to open an umbrella in mid-air. " Hes flying like dady" makes me proud,,,LOL! Reminds me of myslef at twice his age... Someday when he is ready, I hope to take him on a Tandem Paraglide flight. Not if my wife can help it! As time passes, he is desiring to fly more and more... Josh Morell www.imagethisphoto.com

No smile on her face... Any guys willing to do that to their package,, not me! JM

Skydiving, the father of soooo many sports... I call that thing the 'Skyglider'. Merge the words skydive and paraglider to get, Skyglider. Hopefully they have designed a harness that is more comfortable than a typical skydiving rig. Could you fly your rig for 30 minutes or more? Maybe they can start merging paragliding and Skydiving rigs for a more comfortable canopy ride??? Anyone round here jumped one of these? I'd love to get feedback...

You described the first days of training for many Paraglider pilots. First one learns ground control by Inflating, deflating, aka Kiting. At a training hill for practice some pilots will Kite-hike their wings up the hill. This not only enhances kiting skills, but it makes the hike up much easier. Once you reach the top, your already clipped in and ready to fly. Who knows when the first ascent and descent was made with a RAM-Air. I'd bet it goes way back... Motherhuckers comment, sums it up! photo attached: Paraglider inflating for launch. Josh Morell www.imagethisphoto.com
