Contemplations from the Edge (Photos 20-23)

Hang gliding is a sport that demands a large amount of dedication, passion, and love from it's participants. That's not to say that flight, in one it's purest forms, isn't worth the hours of learning to fly, studying soaring, driving, setting up, break down, setting up only to break down, and sinking out. Simply put the amount of work vs reward is higher than most sports, but unlike most sports getting higher is the reward! Here are a few non-hang gliding activities that took place out on the cliff during our trip.

Problem Solving
Who should go first?



Recreating
Dogs are an essential element of the sport.



Relieving
Results in lighter wing-loading and increased pilot comfort.



Contemplating
"I'm hungry!"
