I have done an assortment of BASE jumping. It is really fun. As a dad, I have backed off on such things. It can be quite dangerous. I would
be happy to do a high BASE jump, as in Norway or Switzerland. I find ground launching gives me a similar feeling of freedom of flight in a natural context, and it allows me to preflight my aircraft before takeoff. I highly recommend it. Thanks for watching!
Excellent video, gave me chills, especially the cameradic sky-diving part. I was grounded for a year following a major paragliding accident (my own fault - flying extreme conditions at an extreme site, although i got away with it for five years before it bit me) Keep on keeping on! :-)
I just ordered the video. I am reading the PPG Bible now, great resource! I now have my own PPG system, can't wait for it to warm up enough to fly!! I am hooked!
There is an account of the experience in my book: "Greenlight Your Life" I don't speak of it often, unless there is some positive aspect that I can use. No point in telling our bummer stories unless we can bring something good out of it!
Sorry about the Delay on No Sweat parachute packing made easy. It turns out that having a kid can really slow things down. I am just about done with it. I would rather a delay than put out a crappy video. I hope you understand...
Brian, you should take on base jumping :)

Nice one Brian.
Paragliders are better now, and aren't worse than the risks you take skydiving.
It's a shame you took so long to get back in the PG saddle. Welcome back you have a lot to teach the PG community.

Oh "no sweat" about the video! I have just been waiting for it so I figured I'd ask.
Is there any blog, or post about your accident with the paraglider? I didn't know you crashed actually!
I am hoping to get to your canopy class when you come to Maine in June!
