Quick Paradigm Shifts

Quickly, quickly, ever so quickly! Speeds up to 60 MPH. An entire jump in 20 seconds.

I, still and rooted atop the Ski Jump, have a new, profound respect for them! But I will not follow them, thank you!

echoes

of miracles

    I love this, and am so glad you didn’t follow them. The echoes of miracles are evident in your photo.

    High speeds and leaping from heights are definitely not for everyone!

    That’s one of the last things I would do as well.

    This looks scary for me too… what a jump, and the wood looks scary.

    Quick and dangerous. Some like the risk, I suppose no matter how skillful they are.
