[undeniable logic]

You should reconsider... I learned to hang-glide when I was 15. My dad and I took lessons at the same time, he was 48. It really was a lot of fun. I do admit it is kind of expensive. I worked a lot of hours as a teenager (a lot of hours) so that I could by my hang-glider, pod harness, helmet, safety parachute, etc. The lessons were a birthday gift.

I think you need to do the NE face of the Tibetan plateau for a warm-up to that thing. I bet Everest wouldn't even get to the top of the cliffs at the bottom. Now I have to post a link to my flight last year :) WooHoo!
