Base flying in Berlin 柏林市中心飛行
Posted by kenjitsui

That’s what I did yesterday, the Base flying. In the centre of Berlin, Park INN, Alexander platz. This site start in 2009 and the season of 2012 just start yesterday at 3pm. But they said they opened a little bit earlier. Well, I went there at 4:30pm and I was already scheduled and fly as the number 45. That means within 2 hours 44 people already done the base flying. So what is base flying? It’s simply like sky jump in Macau Tower. You don’t actually need to jump but, more like step out to the air and they hang you up….you start to scare…in a security way…then when you are ready ( or you will never feel like ready ) then the wire release… Suddenly drop down from 98 meters to almost few meters to slow down and stop. Woo…I felt more like dropping down than flying…Very very fast….in 4 – 6 seconds you already feel a guy standing on the platform and waiting for you. “How is the flight?” Woo…the first answer to him is:”haha…ha” , “what’s going on?”
You may like to ask me what is the most exciting moment, I will say, the dropping with unexpected speed. I tried twice in Macau Tower, which might said even double height of this base flying, but it’s somehow with the feeling of flying. But I didn’t feel it in Berlin. It’s all about dropping. Very exciting!! Please try if you are crazy or seeking for something awesome.
