I went paragliding in July - I was waiting for the company to send me the video we took, but I think that may never come -
My siblings gave me this opportunity for my birthday, to check off my bucket list! So nice.
It was pretty awesome, flying through the air - like a roller coaster! In order to climb higher though, you go around and around in circles and you get tossed around without much control. This led to me getting quite nauseous and cutting my trip short after we got up level with the point of the mountain. My nice pilot tucked our chute ends in and we descended quickly. I did vomit, but not until after I was on solid ground. It was neat though.
I was most impressed with the community of fliers up at the flight park, everyone seemed to know everyone else, willing to lend a hand with takeoff's and landings and very friendly. Very nice.

Thad and John came with me, that's Thad in the green parachute - I think.
Thad, upon landing.
