OTHER SPORTS PRACTICED BY SENNA

OTHER SENNA'S SPORTS

Among Ayrton Senna's passions, in his relaxing moments, other sports were done with his typical dedication. There were slalom-skiing (1984/1985), aeromodelling (nov 1985) and jet ski (may of 1986), in addition to other occasional as Ultralight and Parachute (1988).

SLALOM-SKIING - The sport that marked the union of Ayrton Senna and Adriane Yamin. They practiced together when they meet at the turn of the year from 1984 to 1985 in Angra dos Reis/RJ. This picture was taken in Enseada Beach - Guarujá/SP - Brazil.

In this picture the Beco’s second plane. The first one was lighter, made of white Styrofoam and was bought in november of 1985.

The playing with the little planes became more professional and the
team of "pilots" and "mechanics" grew in the family.

"Photo taken by Ayrton, who was amused by my distress when the speedboat slowed down so I “almost” landed in the middle of the sea until I regained speed to keep myself in flight. I have no doubt the prank was Beco's idea who, by the speedboat, watched in a ringside seat" - Adriane Yamin
