If we were talking about parkour in the previous post about “The man´s flight” (spanish), in this case we are going to go a steap ahead and forget about touching the ground; well, at least during the journey.

We have been obssesed with the majestic bird´s flight, how they can flow in the air, to glide crossing transparent  draughts enjoying marvellous eyesights and can avoid obstacles that are on the plane. 3D, a higher level, a higher standing, more freedom, more emotion, more movements, more.

Thousands of objects have been developed by the human race so on to emulate those animals; zeppelings, aircrafts, helicopters, paraglinding, parachute, hang gliding, fighter planes, rockets, spaceships, flying cars and so on give us the opportunity to move between the anything, without touching the floor, not ties and getting rid of gravity.

However, the flight as such presents a tremendous risk, because when something goes wrong, gravity is unforgiving, and as the parachute fails, that feeling called vertigo which would have had to overcome one lie to go hundreds and thousands of feet above the ground , would appear with no control.

Weighing pros and cons, everyone can make a decision and stay cool and comfortable on the ground or elevate your feet and put distance in between in the vertical direction. But for those who dare there will always be a small jump that will arouse your curiosity, as happened to thousands of writers who inundate us with fantastic stories where  man is evolving technologic or naturally to the sky.

Angels, gods, people with powers, with exoskeletons, antigravity suits, which can dominate and flying animals and stand on them… evidence of desire is clear. The Reboot series flying skateboard … When will be on the street?

By the way, the video of the start is a selection of scenes from the movie “Les chevaliers du ciel” (2005).
