I think this would be a blast to do though. Hang gliding was all the rage when I first got home and I gave it a try but it didn't take long for me to see the problem with that.
I think i might have broken a bone just watching this video as I hurt all over

About half an hour from where I live, there's a spot where the crazies do this. It's mindnumbing to watch on youtube, but when you see it live, it's like watching somebody comitting suicide... Can't imagine how it must feel to do it. I once saw a documentary about the guys and girls that do this. They have funerls every couple of weeks for one of their own.

I felt I was invincible

Happy to see that you survived that state of mind as well

Those first few were some heady years

But not for me. I don't even like to fly inside a plane.

How fast were they going?

I'd say somewhere around 50 maybe 60 mph. My scared ass and old bones wouldn't allow me to try something like that now but there was a time when I'd been all for it.

I was skydiving and made 6 jumps. But then I decided to stay in the plane and learn to fly it instead of jumping out of it. It was a much safer way to be in the air.

There's a ton of stuff on YouTube about this guy.
