Has anyone ever done this? I saw it on an epiosde of RE and looks like alot of fun. It looks like some thing you can get into and stay with past the age of freeskiing. Seam like it costs like 2k for a set up but not sure.

Susan : Can you hammer a six-inch spike through a board with your penis?
Chris Knight : Not right now.
Susan : A girl's gotta have her standards.

I've gone about ten times. my dad paraglides, and is friends with the local shop owner, so I get free flights every once in a while. If any of you ever saw a show called dragonflytv on PBS, I was on the show paragliding with three other kids. It was cool.

Ive seen people do it a lot in the summers in Sun Valley Idaho, and Jackson. Its sweet how they can just walk up a hill, unpack their stuff then fly around for hours.

Bristolrider it costs like 200 or more for one time, and you have to be straped in with another person. After college or maybe befor i might get a paraglide.

im goign to paragliding school next summer in salt lake its like a week course for a grand but its worth it I think. Paragliders weight about 30 pounds and you can stuff em in a backpack so you can go hiking and launch off the top of wherever your hiking. I was also thinking maybe you could bring your rig up to alta and ski down the hill to pick up speed and just fly off into the backcountry with your skis on

a new set up costs upwards of $5k. You gotta get a sail, reserve, helmet, harness, vario, and a bunh a biners. And then to get licensed, you gotta take like a million tandem flights. My dad learned thirty years ago while he was still a hippie. He used a ratty climbing harness, no helmet, no reserve, and learned from a guy that only had 10 hours himself. And back then, gliders were EXTREMELY dangerous, unpredictable, and unforgiving.

I saw a guy in Victoria just roll up with a 'chute and basically float in the same spot just off this cliff on the ocean. It was so intense man, he just wasn't moving anywhere.
