Loren,
Saw this clip of paraskiing the Eiger and thought you'd like it.

-Zeke

A little more of the same.

He's in Guatemala right now, I assume on a para gliding trip.

Wow! Loved that first bit where the guy goes over the lip and is suddenly above miles of nothing. Made my heart race, and I'm just in an office with a laptop right now!

Whatever he's up to, I've no doubt it's exciting. Hope you had a good trip Loren!

Just got back from a week flying in Guatemala... great time.

That video is great. I've met Antoine before and those guys are just balls out go for it types.. they do things like that weekly. There are a lot of similar speedflying videos around, but none quite as epic as that one. There's one of a descent from Monte Blanc and a video advert from Ozone on Google Vids for their speedflying wing, you'll have to search for it though as I don't think it's been officially released yet. Such an intense new sport, too bad there's pretty much no where it's being done in the states yet... too many trees!

So one trades the thrill of falling down the mountain, for the thrill of crashing into the mountain.

Yes! Start freelancing!

Oh, and this is one of my favorite shots... the showerhead in one of our groups rooms....
