Paragliding

---

On top of a hill, spreading the wings, start running, taking off
and follow the eagles.

It's a feeling I am not able to describe
without driving my fellow listener into boredom while having bright eyes. ;-)

All started in 2001 with a try out weekend.
A birthday present from my beloved friends.
Without knowing what they done a hidden dream was suddenly coming true

Dancing

---

 Who had not had dancing lessons in the past?
 Well - with my big mouth stating: "I know that all...."
 I got my challenge.

 So I had to follow up my words with actions and after a year
 - ChaCha, Rumba, Tango, QuickStep, Walz etc.

 I could prove my skills at open university tournaments

Climbing

---

And what do you do during the cold months.... you start climbing.
Mainly indoor but therefore it's cosy.

Eventually outdoor climbing followed the indoor experience and shortly after
I had to admit, real rock climbing was a different and interesting experience.
Since then during summer there is outdoor climbing as well

Inline Skating – Speed-    [not any more]

---

 In 2003 I discovered inline skating on a 100km tour through Fläming
 (nearby Berlin).

 The following year I foolishly proclaimed to run the '25km von Berlin' without any problems.
 ... until I discovered ...
 it's a race.
 well, registered was registered.

 since that time I run the 'Berlin Marathon'.
 During the season I take part as guard at the 'Skate-Night' or the 'Berlinparade' events.

 It was a fantasic time but I quit skating in 2010
