Hello Furries,
How many of you are not afraid of hieghts? If you are would you be willing to kick those fears to the curb? While I was surfing I came across a realitivly safe yet challaging sport. Paragliding. Id like to promote this sport out here where I am living currently. We have lots of wind and tones of thermals. This sport does not require you to fly at first. In fact you can simply kite your paraglider. Dont you think it would be relaxing to be soaring around a hill side for a few hours. Weather you are 5 ft from the ground or 50. Please Tell me what you think. I think this would be a great sport to get into. A furry can start flying for about $5000 or as low as $1500 if you happen to stumble and trip over a paraglider on Ebay. You may even be able to hand craft a paraglider. The actual "wing" is the most expensive part. Making one can be an daunting task. I have seen a few where they actually used air filled bladders to inflate the wing This helps with collaps in turbulent, unforgiving conditions. Using this glider is very simple. You simply pull on two loops. I dunno guys please tell me what you think. I think this would be such a blast to do this with my mates on the weekends just flying around. Dont you?
Thank you for your attention and interest in the flying fur. Any one that knows me Knows Im absolutly fasinated by flight.

it would be awesome. I am afraid of heights, but maybe I'll do this some day. just say to myself "forget your fears, you're supposed to be a dragon, now FLY!", and then WHOOSH!
I'd like to try that someday, but I don't think I'll have any opportunities in the near future.
