Representing banGang at Guadec 2006
Apart from hacking on graphics-related stuff the other part of my brain is keen to be occupied with being in mid-air… the longer the better. While Guadec was not the ideal environment for flipping-sessions (way too hot and humid, so much cool OpenSource-distractions) I still got a few opportunities to throw my limbs around. Daniel Holbach of Ubuntu-fame, was the friendly camera-man to capture some of my gravity-antagonizing you can see below. My folks from banGang (german and english) will be very happy to see, that I represent our team everywhere.

For the marketing-team… “Using Gnome makes you flip around of enjoyment!” Ok, next time I do this I will wear the foot-shirt 
Should anybody have futher footage or photos of me looking for trouble with the gravity-police, please send them to me. Thanks in advance!

I can’t see this ogg video with vlc player on windows, I used to see without problem your other ogg videos…

Hah, I’ve always wanted to learn how to do a backflip, but those are kinda neat what you are doing.
I can do all kinds of hucking off of a diving board, or on the snowboard, but… my knees cringe at the thought of impact doing anything like that on hard ground.

@Gnomie: The vlc I tired on a windows-box played back both (.avi and .ogg) just fine. I’ve no idea what might be different. The .ogg was created with ffmpeg2theora as always.
@Trae: I don’t like to flip on hard-floor too much, because I’ve to watch my ankle-joints carefully. Thankfully my knees don’t have any problems.
