Ty_Locke 0 #26 August 22, 2011 Thanks again everyone. I finally got ahold of some people at my local DZ and they suggested I check out the nearest powered paragliding school for now. At least I'll get some airtime, right? When I "retire" in a decade or fifteen years and drop 40+ lbs I'll be sure to REALLY hit the skies. I appreciate all of your support and constructive criticism. Blue skies! :-) -Ty Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When you suck too much, you go from RW -> FF -> WS -> Swoop. Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
