25 grand for a hot air balloon setup, sure thing. Makes my quiver a good deal.
So many things wrong about this. I'd rather enjoy the balloon ride without the board.
Wonder what they were paid to do the vid?indigo_wolf - 11-8-2016 at 01:52 PM
For anyone's whose sensibilities are offended by a promotional spot for a swanky German resort......
Let's not forget many, many (many) Level Thor's Hammer were allowed to crash and burn on the Nambian desert floor before they realized they would have
to perforate the kite and then CGI the holes out during post-production.
Above and beyond the time and money spent.... capturing 2+ minutes of end footage also called for:
"The spectacular images created during this "driving and flying" exercise were captured by three 35-millimetre cameras, a special camera crane and a
helicopter. 440 minutes of film footage was created in all. The crew consisting of 80 people filmed for up to 16 hours a day at temperatures of 40
degrees Celsius. No wonder that the 400 bottles of water and 60 litres of juice consumed per day were just as gratefully received as the 80 bottles of
SPF 100 sun cream that were emptied during filming."
Note: Apparently inline youtube videos are not displaying properly.

I've ridden long lines behind a boat and it's a very boring ride. I guess it's a cool novelty shot. Since the balloon has a release, it's probably not
at risk. I'm with big kid. I'd rather ride in the balloon. abkayak - 11-8-2016 at 02:15 PM
pass..wouldn't even consider the balloon ride...prefer my stupid decisions to exposing myself to others making them for mebigkid - 11-8-2016 at 02:47 PM
I've done the balloon ride many times. The wife said if she finds fedex dropped one off on the porch it had better have a roof and a sleeping bag with
it.:D
A hot air balloon with BIG KID KITES on it would look awesome, but not with the roof over the gondola because it would catch fire from the burners.
But it would look awesome.
