NlghtJumper 0 #2 April 20, 2006 That is cool! I didnt know that is how vultures teach themselves to fly... "that other one jumped off that there cliff, maybe I should too." They are like lemmings with wings!

LisaM 0 #6 April 20, 2006 QuoteThe wind tunnel has four giant fans that generate wind speeds of up to 170MPH and visitors get to fly their body in the airstream. It is the latest extreme sport that has all the adrenalin buzz of skydiving without the fear factor. It replicates freefall. I disagree... the fear of it all is part of the adrenaline... no? ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nathaniel 0 #9 April 21, 2006 There's a place up in Alaska called the Alaska Raptor Center that rescues injured birds and heals them. Then to train them to fly they take them out to a peat field. There's what is best explained as a inverse zip line, a line of rope running along the ground and the birds are tethered to it with a 10ft rope. They toss the birds up into the air and get them to fly the length of the zip line. Then the birds kinda crash land onto the ground once they reach the end of the zip line, but since it's peat it's a soft landing.My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir. The bums will always lose. Do you hear me, Lebowski? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
