Quoted from RTS:

I used to fly a Wills Wing hang glider over 30 years ago. Did it for a couple of years but eventually quit.
Enjoyed it when I did it but started to find it less fun and more dangerous after awhile.
I do kinda miss it though.

You used to fly a Wills Wing? Are we talking about a Wills Wing from Cochrane, Alberta, Canada? Like a Willie Muller "Wills Wing"? If so....my heart just skipped a beat.

Quoted from BigJoeCincy:

I have been doing it for a couple years now. I have noticed the rush from it wearing off while Im at the same time a little more comfortable doing the risky type of moves. I dont see it as something I will be doing forever but for now its fun.
My research had me looking into hanggliding for awhile. It would have been cheaper not having to buy the motor and all but the thought of transporting that thing around and always having to find a mountain or tow didnt interest me much.

You mean risky moves like a "tumble" or an "infinity"?

I loved that shit 15 years ago. I never made it to an infinity but I did make it to a tumble. God, I miss those times and those moves.

I've personally chuck my reserve maybe a dozen times while paragliding. They were all over water while practicing acro so it was kinda of a "controlled" situation........ until, of course my advanced acro maneuvers went south and I had to save my own skin.

Ahhhh,.... great times.
