Morning Stroll

Danger is my business and I am incapable of getting my adrenalin pumping without involving some type of physical danger.  I live for the thrill, the short-term happiness which I find in those moments only when I am able to escape the mundane world.  As you can clearly see, I am very agile and getting up here was easy for me, but it will even be easier getting back down, as I will be paragliding.  These new paraglides are easily transportable, and mine fits into my backpack, so I will be soaring with the eagles soon.  This is the best perch to jump off of and I will have a great view all the way down.  The hang gliders are close relations of paragliders, but these don’t have the rigid framework, and you need to learn how to launch, land, and control a paraglider in flight.
