Hmm, looks like "a skateboarder takes up paragliding". Lots of slides, stepping on high objects, buzzing old folks...real mature stuff. Not my idea of flying fun (tough to do loops and rolls, for starters), but whatever.... I doubt if this is the crowd we want in gliders! Think of all low passes that would result!
