  1. ok well you at least need to post a pic of the thing. do you really think were all just gonna believe on blind faith that you flew around the stratosphere for 8 hours?

  3. Lmao!'
     
  4. Dude, are you God?
     

  5. No.

    But IMHO you can't get any closer to heaven than by doing this.
     
  6. "Floating down through the clouds
    Memories come rushing up to meet me now
    And in the space between the heavens
    And the corner of some foreign field
    I had a dream"

    that looks beautiful up there dude
     
  7. Sounds awesome. I've always wanted to sky dive but am generally deterred by my fear/lack of income (I realize you weren't skydiving). Whatever machine you have sounds cool, hopefully I'll pick one up some day.
     

  8. I'll show you guys one of the videos I took today.

    Need a site where I can upload a video without having to register as a member.
     
  9. have u smoked up there?
     
  10. Bullshit. Jetpacks only keep you in the air for a minute tops.
     

  11. Haha hell NO!

    You gotta have ALL your senses together, keep in mind landing is not optional!

  15. #1: Much safer than driving to the flying site!

    #2: Around 8K gets you high! (flying)
     
  16. ahh i see you have a parachute. i thought you just took off from the ground like a villan in a movie or something. you start off in a plane correct?
     

  17. It's a Paraglider, not a Parachute.

    Difference: A Parachute is designed ONLY for descending, a Paraglider for both ascending & descending.

    And no, you always start off from the ground, never a plane.
     

  18. Could you start off from, say, a bench?

    Or a picnic table?
     
  19. That's intense I really want to do that

    Yeah you could although only recommended for highly skilled pilots AND certain conditions applying.
    Let me see if I can find you a generic video of someone doing that.




    OK this video will give you an idea what's possible:

    As I said before, this is a generic video, not me!
    (I have some very crazy stuff of my own but don't wanna show that on here, sorry)
