upside down


is hosted by tnchick


And 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...

  11. I 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!

  13. There'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

  15. Ohhh 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!

  27. 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!

  28. I'm happy I just regarded this fabulous scene on my PC, and not in real life.
    Even though I live Mountains, well this is nothing for me.
    I rather faint.
    Excellent PH entry.
