Pro Base Worldcup Sapphire Tower - Istanbul / Turkey

I just came back from the Pro Base World Cup in Istanbul, Turkey. Omg what an amazing week… Don´t know where to start.

-hotel room view















After landing in Istanbul, and checking-in the hotel, me and my dear friend from switzerland - Mel, we went to the big bazar.
There are about 4500 little shops, and every single one is kind of selling the same stuff :D but we had a blast, drinking tea and trying every single turkish delight.

 

the blue mosque












On the second day we did an awesome jump from a helium ballon, just right next to the sea, on the asian side of Istanbul.

Day 3 was a down day, due to the heavy rain and wind. On the 4 day it was still quite windy, but they decided to start with the competition and some fun-jumps of the 230m high Sapphire Tower.

You´ve got such an awesome view, when you´re standing on the edge, I love it.

Some interviews, like always…

This is actually the only normal party-pic, after getting home a little bit later…

















Thanks to everybody for having such a great week with all of you!! Hope to be back there next year & cya all soon :)

windmills are fun

I love the smell of the windmills...

new wingsuit - V4

Finally I got it!! A couple of days ago my brand new >Vampire 4< arrived! :) I was soo looking forward to it, and yesterday I got to fly it for the first time... This thing is awesome, it´s superfast, I love it from the first second!! Kinda funny, but on the dropzone I was, there was the national austrian TV, for a docu about skydiving, so the gave us a camera, and we did a nice to way with follow cam, have a look at ORF1 in approximately two weeks and see my new beautiful baby ;)

Easter at the icy beachside

For the reason that I´m still not able to ski and I wanted to spend my easter some where nice, I´ve decided to head to a really beautiful island in the northern part of germany - Insel Rügen I´ve took some shorts with me, thinking it´s already april, fortunately I´ve also got my down jacket with me... As we arrived it started to snow like hell :D Awesome walk on the beach in a snowstorm, though I enjoyed it a lot, some relaxing days with doing nothing, just hanging around, eating and having a good time - have a look

oh no...

Some more great days of skiing before I had torn my side band... I´m quite sad, because it´s the middle of the winter and I was really motivated for skiing and all this stuff, but what should I do... I´ve already been talking to my physiotherapist, see her next week... Hopefully back on skis soon!!

my new K2 baby

The ISPO in Munich was quite successful for me, welcome my new sponsor K2, and have a look at my new baby, the best ski ever- PONTOON

some warm days in the sun

After the stress in the last time I´ve decided to head a little bit more south into the warmth :)

It´s soo deep..

..you can jump everything, nearly :P

Turkish TV, interview and video

Some input and interviews on the turkish TV from our great >Kia Sporlari Festivali< event in Erzurum. Check it out!!

ISPO MUC 2012

Two successfully days at the ISPO in Munich are behind me.
Exhausting, but really good.
