Ballooning is awsome been doing it for 23 years and still feel like i did the first time

How wonderful! I'm not sure I'd have the nerve to do it a second time, but I'm so happy I got to do it once in my life. Thanks so much for watching!

Awesome video. The reflection shot was really neat. I think when it comes to ballooning, because I have been on two balloon flights, that my favorite part is when you're really low over the treetops. Even every part of the flight is awesome. There is no shaking, no turbulence or anything scary like what else you would experience in planes or helicopters (not that I'am afraid of them, but the balloon rides are the best).

Many thanks for the compliments! We thought the reflection shot was a gas, too. You're right about the stillness and smooth ride in a balloon. It was very peaceful and fun, although most of us are not cool with heights. But we wouldn't have traded this experience for anything.

hey, so can you control how high you go in the balloon? and is it stable or shaky?

I really dislike turbulence, I don't like when we suddenly fall down.

[westend104]

You definitely can control how high up you go by how much hot air you blast into the balloon. You can also release the hot air and lower the balloon. The secret is to go up or down and find where the wind currents are that will carry you to where you want to go -- otherwise you just stay up in the air and that's it. Thanks for watching!

Everybody loves a balloon! As a balloon pilot, my favorite saying, when kids were scared of the burner noise on the ground, is, "No need to be afraid; it's just big and loud...kinda like some of my crew." LOL!!

The FIRST rule of ballooning, I learned in training, is, "Know where the cameras are!"

Cool video! I also have one from my first experience with balloon ride. We hit a roof! haha... now I can laugh back then I was scared by death!!

Nicely done video - and what a perfect day for a flight. I've been flying balloons for 18 years and still just love it when somebody finds out what a wonderful thing it is to fly in a balloon! Great location too -- might just have to head east to New Jersey some day....
