photohuntAnd he seemed to throughly enjoy the upside- down position!! It was the preparation for his 98 mt / 322 ft "guided fall" as opposite to a free fall (notice the wiring on the sides) ...off the 39th floor, downtown Berlin. We went up for a view of the city, then we saw the "base flying". Thanks, but no, thanks, that's nothing for us. Too much adrenaline, I guess!!
And here is a y*utube video, featuring a beginner at this very same place in Berlin, who jumps standing up - only the experienced ones choose the upside-down position... Wishing you a quiet weekend!
Update : there was a special offer for the jump: 79€ / USD 116 instead of the regular 99€/USD 145...

ReplyDeleteThere's a perfectly good building there. I'd be content to stay on it -- right side up, please!
ReplyDeleteI don't often search out the Photo Hunt entrants these days, but I always check out a blog if someone leaves a comment in mine. I'm so glad you did, I've just checked back through all your previous photo hunts, and I love your choice of photos in every single one! It's been a wonderful way to start the day/weekend :) You'll be one of the few photo hunt blogs I will continue to check out each week from now on ... even if I'm not commetning ;) Thanks again!

ReplyDeletethis is so scary. just looking at him, makes me sweat.
ReplyDeleteThere's something like that at the Macau Tower. What's scary, apart from the actual activity itself, are the prices for the privilege of doing so! :O
ReplyDeletetoo crazy for me, but how cool that you got the shot! :D
ReplyDeleteOhhh WHY? I watched the video... but I still can't tell... what makes this very different from bungee jumping? And why is it called BASE? Guess I better google huh?! Have you heard that new country song out... God is Great, Beer is Good, People are CRAZY! It's true!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness that is scary I cannot do that...happy hunting good choice.
ReplyDeleteWow! Talk about being in the right place at the right time for a photo opp! Very cool - but you couldn't pay me enough to do that, much less for "fun"!

Wow. I'm pretty sure I could not be induced to participate in such an activity, even though the people who do it make it look fun. I don't know that I would like that much blood being forced into my head. Great take on the theme!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy I just regarded this fabulous scene on my PC, and not in real life.
ReplyDeleteEven though I live Mountains, well this is nothing for me.
I rather faint.
Excellent PH entry.
So cool!!!
ReplyDeleteHere's mine... kinda wordy today. I didn't want to go on a trapeze bar and I have no pics of mountains. :S
