Risk and Reward ?

Post by Fingers »

Scraping your knee at 90mph+ with your head about 24inch off the tarmac, with the back end starting to slid! A+

Flying at 10,000 feet over the most beautiful country side. A+

Playing live music, for an ordinance. AA++

Experimenting with chemicals D+++++++++++++++

Doing 0 to 60 mph under 3 second. A+

I like scaring myself like the next man and I know I am getting way passed it, but can anyone see the + side of this sort of behaviour?

Experience vs Patience...

Its the old question Steve 'The chicken or the egg' which came first ? Experience vs patience... the silly chappie in the video will most definately not live a full life if he continues to fly in these conditions !

The pilotswho live a full life Steve... its because they know when to back off and fly another day the daft bugger in the video may not have much experience or maybe his ego is wider than a mile !
Maximise your time & dosh do both Hanggliding & Paragliding :)
