我是从高崖跳伞开始我的特技生涯的。 |
| Paragliding is taking off from mountains with a paraglider , with the possibility to fly cross country, distance, just with the use of thermals to soar . |

从这张照片你可以看到 这个是四人式跳伞, 四个人一块儿下落, 左手边的跳伞员负责摄像机 他的头盔上设有一个摄像机 所以他就可以拍摄整个跳伞过程, 拍摄的目的不仅仅是为了拍摄还为了事后对录像进行分析。 |

空中滑板就是高空跳伞的同时在脚上加一块滑板。 |
| You can imagine with this big surface of a skysurfing board, there is a lot of force, a lot of power. |
显而易见,因为滑板巨大的 接触面积, 可以在下落过程中提供很大的上升力。 |
