I don't know about the little money part. That rig is about $10,000 and it looks like he has a nice car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N201MKTurbo Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 I spent about 10 years of my life as a competitive inline skater. I always wanted to strap one of those on with a pair of skates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsxrpilot Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 Not to resurrect a dead horse here, but if you're interested, this is a good program about some long distance hang gliding across Texas. My friend Jonny Durand (current world #1) and Dustin Martin flew 475 miles across Texas. Most of it between 4000 and 12,000 ft. (My personal best is just short of 30 miles and 10,000 ft. ;-) The first 10 minutes of the clip are probably the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
