    hi, thank you!
    yes I am "local" landing zone is 150 meters from my house.
    I took a parachute for paragliding, it will need 20 to 30 meters to open in case of problems.
    no I'm not basejumpeur but this is one of my dreams, maybe in a few years ;-)

    THIS is definitely the most amazing video ever seen in my life !!! Big congratulation on that sickest thing ever...... ! I would like to ask 1-2 questions ! Are you a "lokal" in that area ? I was amased how perfektly you hit the landing-zone... in case of emergency, how many seconds does the parachute need to work and how much height you would loose in that time ? You surely are also Basejumper and/or Paraglider, right ?
