KerMor 0 #1 September 13, 2004 I always wanted to try taking off a hill / cliff with my parachute... the paraglider way. Is there anything I should know before trying it ?

quade 3 #6 September 13, 2004 If you try to teach yourself, you'll more likely than not critically injure yourself. Don't do that. Learn from the best.

Spizzzarko 0 #7 September 13, 2004 Jim Slaton in Perris Valley runs a ground launching school. Give them a call, and they will teach you the proper way to do it. Although the canopy's we use for skydiving are not the best for slope soaring, it can be done, if the slope is properly angled and the winds are at the appropriate strength.
