"Skydiving over Lake Taupo"  Produced by Wilson Tai  ©2003-04 Wilson Tai	Both 35mm photo and DV video are used in the production of each skydiving session	The wrist-mounted altimeter instrument is used to determine when to deploy the parachute	The door opens and the jumpmaster asks, "You ready?" I reply, "Let's go." Don't even think about it, just do it. "One, two, threeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"	Drop Zone, Demon, Top Gun, Grizzly, Viper, Colossus, Goliath: combine those roller coasters and you get the feeling upon your first entrance into the sky	At 5,000 feet, the parachute is launched and the 200 km/h thrill comes to an end - enjoy the freefall while it lasts	Flying high and overlooking the shores of Lake Taupo in the volcanic plateau of the Tongariro National Park	The word "Awesome" is definitely an understatement	Woot! After jumping out of an airplane at 12,000 feet, you're prepared for almost any adrenaline-pumping activity	Alas, all things with a beginning have an end	If the photos aren't enough: Taupo Tandem Skydiving
