wildblue 7 #1 April 13, 2002 Ok, so I'm sitting here burning CDs with CNN on the TV (it's 4am, what else you want me to be doing?!?) Anyway, they have this little blurb about police in Thailland are going to start using "para-motors" (powered para gliders) This of course get my attention. They show little clips of them taking off, onlookers looking on, and then they show this one guy landing in a turn! And I mean his lines are about parallel to the ground! After a good cloud of dust and flying limbs, he gets back up, apparently unhurt. Keep in mind, he did this with a motor and prop on his back!Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your mouth is moving Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
INSANEDADDY 0 #2 April 13, 2002 That is sweet. There are two guys in my neighborhood who have them. I love to watch them cruise around. Before they developed the land they would swoop down and chase deer. It was the funniest thing I have ever seen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
