Yeah I know this is as far away from off-roading or on-roading can get, but i think i might need a Hang Glider it looks like a great way to kill an afternoon! then land in the yard. anyone know a decent dealer?

sometimes I really wonder about ya!
got to work in morning but call me won't be far from town.

hights are not good, unless your on 4wheels , thats just my opinion... dwella you ever hang glided before?

Nope! i've never done it before, but i've got a nice gentle area to test in- i watch a couple of peeps that do it right off the hill in front of my house and it's AMAZING!!! i can never catch up with them to get any info though. But the wind currents off the Red Deer river in back of my house make for good gliding! Ballons seem to like cruising the Valley too! I'm not sure where to look for a Kite though.

A couple old tents + Some tubing + A dumb ass to be test pilot = One badass hang glider

you mean our own version of junk yard wars.handgliders?that would be cool to see.

thats a good question dweller ....I'm pretty sure there is an outfit in Cochrane As I see them every time it seems I go to Waiparous playin around on the hill by Gleneagles......:)

Ya might want to lay off the EX, beer guts aint aerodynamic you know!!!

the hang gliding clup in cochrane is the Muler Hang gliding center, hang a right before you drop down the hill into town, they offer lessons on how to do it. they also rent and sell hanggliders, as well as parasails. another place to learn is the university of calgary outdoor program center, they offer instruction as well for about 100 if i remember correctly. be warned, the sport is verry addicting... and the gliders are pricey to buy... (about 3000+)

hope that helps

Yeah thanks, that gives me a start, have you done it yourself?--It looks very addictive, I'll definitly check out a course to try it out soon!
