What was the fun?


Not a lot of time to catch up with the blog, so before going to bed… I promise myself to write something. So here it comes… sorry Alex, it might be short once again.

Here we go with the fun:

  • paintball

I had played paintball once, I thing I remember driving my ford fiesta, so it was 13 years ago. 6 friends renting all the needed gear going at night in a hill and roll! It was fun, just between friend. We end up with 2 injuries, lots of bruises and cover by paint. My friend Ced just had learnt on that night never to remove your face protection when playing paintball. His lips trippled the size for over a week as I can recall. I remember that we did not want to go to a special place…afraid to be bored by the rules. So that time in Paris, I had my first experience in a real park with everything needed for the fun. And it really was. Once again, I was amoung friends, which is the key element for me. I enjoyed it because I was a game, not war. Just about the fun until my so called friend shoot me down in the back, 2 min after giving him some extra shells!

  • indoor skydiving

Back in July 14th 199X, the JFnR team went to the Alps for a crazy week end. I was the summer, we went skying, then cycling, then back to Tallard to sky dive. I was my first time (and only time) and it was great. Not that I will do it again. Jumping from the plane at 4000m, opening the parachute at 1000m and starting breathing again. How could I forget. Anyway the 3000m drop at full spead (250km/h) last for a bit more than 1minute.

The landing was not that great, I had some scars…  so it was like, I did it, ok what is next. This time I went for an indoor jump. The 2:30 minutes of happyness equal more or less to 2 jumps from a plane without the stress.

Humm not really as you can see on the pics. We are quite concentrated on what is going on.

It was real good, but enough I let you watch my video!
