FLYING PHILOSOPHY

Why are you flying ?

Anna: Flying for me is very personal. I am inspired by human flight, I am driven to fly (body, canopy, anything) and my passion is ignited daily by the process of learning to fly. I would not considered myself as a natural athlete but flying is not exclusive, you can be tall, short, thin, round, old young, green or pink and still... you can fly :)
Petter: I like everything about it.
Andreas: I love the challenge of trying to control my body in a fairly unknown element.
Ignacio: for the feeling

What fascinates you about flying/indoor skydiving?
