I don't know if I would rather hang glide or paraglide.

I tried it. Went about 40' down the hill and nosed into the ground.

Paragliding could be next after hanggliding. Depends on if I need my skydiving certification to move on to that and finding where I can do it.

They do some up in Chattanooga. Pull you up by plane and release you and it's tandem. Or they have a course you can take, starting you on smaller hills until you progress to them taking you up by plane and then eventually going off the mountain.

I've been a paragliding fan ever since I saw Bear Grylls go over Everest

Ima jump without a parachute, grab a bungee cord to slow me and then grab a zip line and at the end sling off onto a hang glide, til I reach the ocean throw on a tank that's waiting and swim with sharks.

Hill wasn't that high, but I'll bet the dive looked very similar.

You're gonna have to squeeze kitesurfing in there somewhere. .

Some guys do it off the mountains downtown. Pretty cool looking.

You can ride the thermals for hours and fly with bald eagles.

That looks incredible and so awesome. After parachuting solo, there's nothing like flying and being in control. Nothing can compare to the freedom you feel or the rush it gives. Being able to stay aloft for an extended length of time would be like being in heaven.

139 isn't too bad. I was expecting much more than that.

That hurts just looking at it. Holy hell
I bet it was fun taking your shoe off I broke my foot once and kept trying to work but finally I had to go to the Doc. The worst part of the whole damn situation was getting my foot out of the work boot. Driving a 5 speed wasn't very fun either

That was on a Saturday, misdiagnosed as a sprain, it was worse come Monday.
