Gärdet August 2001
Bruce and the tandem paraglider just after a towing take-off in Stockholm. |
Student licensees getting the hang (haha) of it beneath the Kaknäs tower on Gärdet. |
Bruce and Simon the instructor pilot at approximately 100-150 metres over Gädet during towing. Bruce's a bit worried...about the camera angle of course! He proved to be an Ozzie worth the Viking-title. No worries mate! |
Forward view heading west in the final stage of the towing. The street that begins where the white balloon is landing is Valhallavägen. |
The Globe arena in the south with Djurgården in front. |
The canopy of Bruce's paraglider in harmony with a balloon (with the text that means "very fast letter") and an Unidentified Finger Object. |
Pilot Simon made a steep 360 turn and we on the ground heard a distinct Ozzie-style "YEEEEEAH!"...that ususally means that someone is hooked ;) |
Quite a nice angle in that 360, hey! |
Simon steers the paraglider in for landing...but Bauer didn't know that that was happening... |
...until Bauer sees Bruce's boot swing buy in the corner of the eye, bastards!! |
Bauer holding the towing line. |
It's not... |
...harder than... |
...THIS, Yeeeha! |
Bauer had a lucky start and are now heading for the place where he belongs :) |
Bauer and ...ok, enopught bauer this and bauer that. ME and MY APCO Sentra while curving around. I can tell ya all. I LOVE IT!!! |
I'm going in for what I expected to be a simulated emmergency landing between a rainway, a lake, a groge and a house...I landed short on the railway...railways have 16 000 volts in the electrical system...I'm fried! |
Bruce and I after a successfull evening. Thanx Bruce for the awesome footage that evening! |
