Tegernlake Valley Montgolfiade The
last weekend in January is a fixed date for many european balloonists.
At this weekend the Tegernlake Valley Montgolfiade
takes place. But not only the colorfull balloons fascinate the 20.000
visitors, also the gamblers, wizards, music bands, dance
groups which cavort between the varigated stands.
MadMikeKüng
is also for the 5th time at this festival. In the years before Mike
always packed his paraglider with high diligence for d-bagging.
This year Mike jumps with the new Head Over method from the hot air
balloon. He reaps his glider and crawls into the basket.
The clothes bundle is hanging outside.
In
400 metres heiht above the spectators Mike climbs
on the edge of the basket and jumps head over into the deepness. The
lines are stretching, the glider turns around and is completely flyable
above Mike. There is time for three aerobattle manoeuvres
and then Mike lands between the applauding public
directly in front of the tribune.
