Norway jumping session October 14, 2007

There is always something better than to stay looking up at the birds...

We had a good fresh air trip in western Norway last week.

Géraldine, Seb and I, we made some fly over some modern style spots in Molde area guided by our lovely girl Karina and the crazy sexy local Tom Eric.

For him, nothing was good except throw you body away from the cliff. Even if there is three hours walking up to get the exit, there is always some free time to jump more. « So two jumps a day keeps doctor away but ten times a day keeps everything away... »

I've never seen such a good trackers as the Norge Team. With just some track pants they pull at 28 seconds at Grisetskolten. On wingsuit the philosophy keeps the same way with a good approach flying to the relief. A fly few meters close to the rock or near by the winding roads but with still a spirit a safety give us the last good norvegian special : « fly low, pull high! »

In Norway go for a base jump day is always looks like a picnic day or a familly sunday outdoor. All friends, wives and kids are waiting at the landing area with coffee and croissants...

One of them is Santa Claus looking like him is the most friendly passionate guy who have followed history of the Norvegian jumps since the beginning. we don't really feel an approach of terror even if accidents as every outdoor activity happened, Molde Base is just one more alpine approach with only a looking of modernity and smile. Santa Claus believe we can fly as birds and the dream is still alive with Géraldine as a Swiss air pilot...
