If you know Blackpool and the pier across from
the Pleasure Beach then you will have seen the Skycoaster. Basically
you are strapped into a parachute type harness, then hoisted about
100 feet into the air. Pull the ripcord and then swing like a
pendulum at speeds approaching 70mph skimming the pier deck by
6 feet then soaring up over the edge and over the water. It is
like sky-diving and hang gliding rolled into one and it is just
pure excitement. This was one of my first images done away back
in 1997 and is just a montage of images found on the net plus
my friends and I on the Skycoaster. Sci-fi fans will spot Babylon
5, my all time favourite TV programme.
