Holy c...p! I just received this vid in the morning - check out this dude - we have played a few gigs with him as a fill in bass player! He is literally flying with a para glide and having our song 'Journey' as a soundtrack

Wow, what a great video !! I bet that feels breath taking to be up there
And an honour to hear your music with such imagery I imagine ?

Where we live in Spain is a world centre for paragliding...
... our local hospital specialises in broken bones and fractures.

Nice to see your band getting really BIG in public Cosmin, congratulations!!
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jan 15 2013, 11:12 AM
Thank you guys! Well, Ben, it seems like I suddenly have a big urge to try a double para glide flight with this dude - he is an instructor too
Posted by: tonymiro Jan 15 2013, 11:14 AM
A tandem like Cosmin suggests is a good idea if you've never paragliding before guys.

Do it mate, you'll love it!! I did one in Bodrum (Turkey), from the top of the mountain it was a 45 minute flight down through the mountains and foothills and then we landed on the beach. Brilliant experience!! I have a video of it that the Pilot took and he handed me the camera at times as well! That track really fits with the video too, especially the 'learning to fly' line!!!

I got that some feeling watching the video

Nice, cool video and tune! This may be the closest I get to paragliding though.
Looks like a real rush for sure!

Man that was great! , You should go for it Cos! Not alot of people get a chance to try something like this, carefull tho, the kind of adrenaline rush you get from this kind of thing can be highly addictive!

I just spoke to the dude We'll decide when we shall do it

Awesome, must be a blast of a day for him
And what a cool paraglide-vid from him - well chosen soundtrack
You really should try a flight - Jessi's father is a paraglider for years now. I remember a day when we did a small practice session with a few friends (just a few meters off ground though ) it was amazing for me to take off and loose ground under my feets for a second or two
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jan 16 2013, 11:14 AM
Hehe! For me, it would be the closest I would get to one of my biggest dreams as a child - flying almost by myself - no plane no nothing. Wingsuit jumping would be the closest though
Posted by: mad Jan 16 2013, 01:20 PM
That's tough.. first saw that wingsuit craziness in this video here (I think everyone knows it):
For me I would go for the sky-diving thingy
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jan 16 2013, 10:41 PM
Thanks for sharing this mate! Looks like some astonishing stuff

Thanks guys!
Mr. Rich - I think that the vid mad has posted was shot somewhere in Norway?
Posted by: mad Jan 17 2013, 09:21 AM
Yeah, looks like..

Talking about extreme sports, I used to do this here a lot before life became serious
Now that kids are growing maybe there is some more time to go into something extreme again and I really consider to begin paragliding, because there are some nice locations for doing this right here where we live.. and as already said, my father in law is a paraglider, too
Mmhh.. otherwise that would mean less time for guitar playing...... ..... ... maybe it's possible to pick out my guitar after take off?! Kinda air-guitar...
Just kidding But how cool would that be - playing some nice licks while flying around

Great vid and it works great with the song!!
