I like it!

Some days ago i went to Vemdalen, i get the top and i started to look all arround me.

nice mountains i coud see, nice feeling i coud breath.

But i have to choice the place where i will start with my paraglider and so i have to check up the wind direction...

Some friend takes pictures, some people looks curiously...

I start to prepaire my wing and stuff, a breafing with my soul... many quastions and few answares ...then only a silent mind .

i am ready, I inflate the wing, that flys up elegant and silet like mamma eagle... few steps... the wing upon my head it's free in the cold air and it makes me lighter... my feet can only caress the ground like a sweetly goodbye... just before loose all contact with the human condition... I am living the sky now! i am at home , air glissing on the air, no toughts, no question... free in my 3 dimensional movements, as a spirit. I spent some minutes to play with some warm air bubble, then i strat to choice the landing place. And I was so attracked by the skipist under me... a little bit dangerous and technical, but a good advertising and pratic to get my car or another fly after.

It's decided, and i start to approach the pist passing in the middle of the top of the trees, with one foot i touch one of them... i have to go most near as possible to the ground... and for this i make big wingover from left to the right of the pist, while people stop to look or salut, and children follow me in my "dance" at few meter or centimeter far from the snow... sometime i just touch the ground for a second and immediatly after i get my air pillow under me...

This till the end of the pist where i stand and run with my glider upon me ... i am still human now... and when I pull down the wing stalling it, it looks something that is loosig it's living essence, it's dieing on the ground till the next fly .

thanks fly thanks wing thanks air  i am all yours.

And i went up to restart immediatly another fly, doing the same, but with a soul more rich than before.

Here you can look the video of the landing part... give attenction to the top of the left pist... someting white going left and right... it's me!!
