Back in today; I'm learning to fly; Pink Floyd | Treefrogz's Blog

Don't be concerned. I'm not planning to jump off of anything. Done that. It didn't work so hot. When I was about 9, I built a contraption of PVC pipes and black plastic sheeting. Actually I can't remember what I jumped off of now. I think it was more than once because I remember jumping from the house and a few times from the edge of the chicken house roof. I crashed in a heap of pain, plastic and childish grief each time. But after tweaking the design and necessary repairs I tried again.

I think that is the most important thing about life. Keep trying. Keep moving forward. Keep tweaking the design.

Yes you were very lucky. With the BMX you had extra momentum that I didn't have. I was very fortunate to escape without broken bones too.

LOL I really thought I was getting somewhere with my trial runs too. Good thing I didn't try it off a tall bluff or something. I flew a ways vertically too! Especially off the house! (hope no kids read this) :-)
