    You are the intrepid one, always willing to leap into the fray! A serious character flaw, I might add, but entertaining. Said by Roger Wright about me.

      Yesterday (Jan 1) I took the kids to the tallest mountain on the Island to see the snow. Since it's summer having useable snow isn't too common. After I had a bit of a play with them, I sneaked of to see some guys I knew their. They were creating a NEXDAS (New eXtreme Dangerous Alpine Sport) For various reasons they allowed me to become a victemolunteer. All I can say is it was a hell of an experience, that left me bashed and mangled to the max. To cut a long story short, the Doctor could not believe I didn't have any broken bones, and due to my blood pressure drop, guesses I must have lost at least a litre of blood. Also I had to have applied over 140 square inches of burns dressings for snow burn. Ouch. :-(( Regardz Colin J Davies

The guys I went with have spent a lot of time and money trying to develop the devices used for it, and are applying to get patents etc. It's a bit difficult to explain, but the basic components are a finned snow board, a half-moon kite with 3 strings and a versatile aerofoil. When you put stuff like this together on the side of a icey mountain with ugly rocks things start getting dangerous. The kite basically pulls you along on the snow board, if the window is big enough you can actually ski into the wind and tack like a yacht across the slopes.

However you can flick the aerofoil when you jump so that it gives you lift like an aeroplane wing.

                          Did you watch the latest James Bond movie? Wasn't it great when he emerged surfing from that tidal wave with a parachute in his hands? I got a great kick out of that. :-) And what you described reminded me of that scene. Anyway, I hope you recover soon. Regards, Alvaro
