Need Dramamine?

I'm going to try and add this video of Takumi's. Let me know if it bogs down too many computers and I'll take it off in a few days.

This is what it is like to go paragliding! The last time Takumi went the camera flipped and all we got are a video of Takumi's shirt. This time he strapped his camera onto his wrist before takeoff. (How I don't know.)

I got a great thrill out of watching this but maybe for people who get motion sick this might not be so enjoyable. You can see a bit of the scenery around our Nikko area. It is certainly green isn't it? I love the smile at the end! Tetsu says Takumi looks just like he did when he was a little boy.

the landing & take off look and sound a little frightening to me, but it sure looks like your son had a blast :-)

It's a Bird! It's a Plane! It Takumi! What a thriller for him....the video is thoroughly enjoyable. A big THANKS to Takumi and you also for sharing. BTW, you are becoming an expert with your new computer.

What a great video - no matter what the language, the excitement still comes through.
