I would characterize James' response to Tiki as somewhat
misleading by suggesting that "in a combined last priority, at gender and age"
are not a significant factor. As I recall, Tiki had the second highest number of
votes and was eliminated by the age requirement. Can anyone tell me why age is

Huge congratulations to New England local, Eduardo Garza for being
one of only 25 athletes selected for the 2021 RedBull X-Alps. So amazing to see

It's an interesting reflection on hang gliding that if a picture
in Skywings, or god forbid, an advertisement, shows a hang glider exceeding 45
degrees bank or more than 30 degrees nose up or down the horizon or whatever
people complain and say it is irresponsible and could encourage people to take
dangerous risks.

simulation of this simulator make it very distinct from traditional aircraft
simulators and perfect for simulating ultralight aircraft like hang-gliders.

I’ve had my eye on Texas for an awfully long time. Very few people
have given it a shot since Will Gadd broke the open distance record there,
flying 423 km on the summer solstice in 2002. Why? Because it’s brutal!
On record days you’re taking off in absurdly strong...
