Miles Daisher flies through the sky in his kayak (aka Skyaking)

Some say it’s insane. We say it’s insanely awesome. Famous BASE Jumper Miles Daisher is not content with jumping off of things the usual way. This is how skyaking was born: “jumping out of an airplane in a kayak so after you are finished parachuting, you can land on a body of water like, Read More

I believe I can Fly (flight of the frenchies)

I thought skyaking (sky diving + kayaking) was crazy but highlining (vertiginous combination of climbing, slackline and tightrope walking) is one of the CRAZIEST activity that I've seen so far, and they've gone BEYOND it by doing base lining and free flying!!! INSANE!!!!

While I was watching this vid I just felt like I'm gonna have a heart attack whenever I see someone jump off or walk without a harness it's CRAZY! But I love it. I can only dream of doing something like that. WOW.

I bungee jumped twice in New Zealand and I thought that I would be used to it on the 2nd time but I ended up feeling even more scared before the jump but when you're plummeting down the experience is just off the charts and it was the same when I skydived (which was surprisingly less scary than bungy jumping---probably because I had an expert strapped on my back).

I was originally planning to take a 10-day skydiving lesson in Italy with the New Zealand school during the summer to become a licensed soloist but didn't have enough time to organize everything, but I hope that I can still pull it off and do it next year, so I guess I need to go back to training/working out for that.

ANYWAY. This video is amazing and highlining seems equally amazing and I wish that I can do something like that someday!
