Practice Makes Perfect!


This guy was actually practicing with his paraglider in the green space between our apartment building and the next one over. He was out there for a couple of hours!

Um, he's awfully close to those trees...

Rob: Yes, more importantly, he was awfully close to our balcony!

Sounds and looks like very close quarters! What was he trying to accomplish with his "practice"?

Maya said...

Chuck: My friend who does paragliding could probably tell you more. I just know they have to practice what it feels like to have the wind in the sail for many hours on the ground!

I've never tried paragliding, parasailing was fun until I broke my foot, ate a spruce tree, and bit the dust. But darn it could be fun.

Cele: That does not sound fun! I hope that doesnt' happen to me if/when I finally try this!
