JUMPING OFF A MOUNTAIN IN QUEENSTOWN


Woke up Sunday morning and decided to take my daughter Kirsten up a mountain and jump off.
Kirsten's 24 and visiting us from Austin, Texas with her boyfriend Julian. She is taking a break before starting on her masters degree in advertising at the University of Texas. She had just gotten a GOPRO
and wanted to do something adventurous that she could film. We signed up with GFORCE paragliding and met Ricardo and Brandon our pilots and prepared for our launch off the mountain.
                  Unfolding the chute and getting into our harness for launch off the mountain.
Step,step,step run and you're airborne!
Flying high above lake Wakatipu.
Pure joy gliding over the mountains!
Banking hard right into a turn.
Flying over the evergreen forrest.


Coming in for a landing.
What a wonderful experience to have with your love ones. Pure exhilaration gliding through a brilliant blue sky.
Come to New Zealand and we will take you to jump off a mountain!
