laird 0 #1 March 3, 2005 I almost put this in the "Related sports" section, but it does fit in the "BASE ZONE" really. Interesting video though. I know there are a few people who are also PG pilots on here. Maybe they could share some insite into why it wasn't recoverable.

weegegirl 2 #6 March 3, 2005 holy shit batman! great video! love that you can hear both sides of the radio conversation. very intense. i really don't know much at all about paragliding, but it looks pretty sweet. i'll have to put that on my list of things to try. (hopefully i won't end up in a tree like this guy though! ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
laird 0 #7 March 3, 2005 I found this posted on a PG forum. It was titled "why I don't paraglide" (posted by a hang glider pilot). The other post said it was pilot error, and gave a link that discussed it in detail. Here read it for yourself....dam it no clicky..... http://www.crestlinesoaring.org/index.htm "HIGAF" Honestly I Give A F*^% Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
