How to ride in a hot air balloon
It made me
awe struck
 "Idyllic, with an adventurous ending"
How I did it: We jumped in the balloon at the last possible second for the first ever (and maybe last) Great Salt Lake Balloon Festival on Antelope Island. It had been stormy all day and they didn't think the balloons were going to fly. Right before sunset there was a brief break in the weather and a few of the daring ballooners went up. It was the reddest sunset I have ever seen - the light over the water was amazing. The storm and the cross winds kicked back up on our descent and we did the last 50 yards to the ground nearly horizontal - it was a good dragging crash landing. Nobody seriously injured and all the better for a really unique story. Lessons & tips: Don't crash - crosswinds are crazy (avoid them). If you do crash, bend your knees. :) Resources: This happen for me purely by accident. I knew somebody who knew somebody who had a balloon and we showed up to take pictures just in time to see them take off with two people's worth of space in the basket - we jumped in and off we went. Hooray for serendipity! |

How I did it: I attended the annual balloon festival in Brattleboro (I think?) Vermont, in 1988. Was invited to go for a ride and I did! Fun times. Beautiful scenery! Fire and flight at the same time. Unforgettable! Read how I did it…
keegan727 needs to get a bunch of HW done!! And soon...
How I did it: I got the opportunity to ride in a hot air balloon two summers ago, at a balloon festival in town. I got to help set up the balloon, ride in it and also back it back up. At night, they inflate all the balloons and light them up for little kids to see. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I was back in California visiting the family and mummy dearest wanted to have family fun time, so we all decided that getting high was the way to go. There are several places to do it in California but we went with Napa because we figured it would have some of the nicest views. The place we went to asks that you get there at the butt-crack of dawn, so getting up at 4am when that's the time I usually go to bed was a bit of a challenge - bu… Read how I did it…

Every year my elementary school would have a fair with a raffle, the big prize being a ride in a hot air balloon. I never won. I don’t care where or when, but it will happen.

I’ve been seeing hot air balloons going up and away since I was very small (my home town is Bristol, UK, which has a huge Balloon Fiesta every year). Maybe one time when I’m in the UK again, as it’s much bigger there, or whenever I get the chance, really. It’s not high priority, but it’d be an amazing experience.
teahna waiting for christmas!
Well I am totally freaked of riding in a balloon, I could jump out of a plane before I could ride a balloon, but I am going to challenge myself and go in a hot air balloon! So wish me luck
howyadoin feels hopeless and IS NOT AN AHOLE thank you very much!
so while i’d still like to do this someday, it will have to wait til i have money or a nice ‘sponsor’! :)

That was the official slogan for our basket. Frank, our pilot, made us pledge to have a good time, or at least fake it and tell his boss we did. He let us spit. A lot. It was awesome.

I will be going to the hot air balloon fiesta in New Mexico this year. I’ve heard it’s amazing and spectacular. Hopefully, I’ll finally ride a balloon, but it’s $300 a person! ouch!
