...If riding in an airplane is flying, then riding in a boat is swimming. If you want to experience the element, get out of the vehicle.

What are the physical requirements?
In general, the prospective student should be in reasonably good physical shape, this is a sport after all. You will be required wear around 10 kg of equipment, endure opening shock, maneuver the canopy, land, and possibly trudge great distances on foot. You will experience 30 degree swings in temperature, atmospheric pressure changes, 4 hours of lecture, and lots of beer. It's grueling (:-).

But seriously, problems may arise where a prospect is too heavy (over ~110kg) or if they have medical conditions which may impair them during the activity. Someone who experiences fainting spells, blackouts, or has a weak heart should not be sky running. Someone with respiratory illness may have a problem due to atmospheric changes at altitude. The better your physical condition, the more you will enjoy the experience. This being said, very few people have medical or physical conditions which actually preclude sky running...

This is such a beautiful shot that for a while I couldn't quite get my head around it. But the use of reflection and the perfect conditions of the wet sand make this amazing!

Good afternoon,

My name is Peter Sawyer and I write on behalf of Phototuts+ ([link])

I would like to feature this image in a roundup article I am currently writing.

A link to the image, and the name of the piece would be given in the article.

Please let me know if you are ok with this ASAP, as it is due to go live soon.

Thanks Peter
