5. 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.
