| My name is Michael. I have been out of gliding for 15 years but looking to get back into the sport. My partner is deadset against this and is afraid I will kill myself...crazy huh? Any recomendations on convincing him that gliding is safe when done responsibly? Also looking for recommendations for how you would go about getting back into the sport after 15 years? |

| I should add that my past experience was extremely limited. I basically learned from a girl that I had worked with. I want to do this right and by the book this time around. Any recommendations within a couple hundred miles of Cleveland Ohio? |

Me too!!! I've never done it.....but I watched a show on Discovery about it, and decided it's time to have a midlife crisis and this will be cheaper than buying a Corvette and hookers 
So I need to learn all I can about it. I used to fly kites as a kid so I think I can do it  |

| Hello fellow semi-newbie glider. I too am interested in getting into this sport. I wanna try it out first before I spend a butt load of cash on it. |

Rusty and High as a Kite it was nice to meet you but I am seeking some information in this thread. Would you two mind chatting elsewhere? Maybe exchange phone numbers, private message or start another thread. Sorry to be rude but you are making a mockery of my thread.
Thanks!

If you keep posting vulgar sexual content on here like you already have in your other thread named *Anal* and especially making ignorant comments about the Ladies here then you won't have to ever think about learning to hang glide because no one is going to deal with you.
We don't talk like that on here and if your looking for sex or trying to be cute thinking this is some peewee play house then just get the hell outta here cause your way outta your league!
If I were you, I would keep sky diving as you list in your profile, that way seeing how you fall so fast it won't take you long at all to make an azz of yourself. |

Michael, start a new thread and we will reply there with helpful info. Click BURY this topic on the top of his thread and it will go to the basement with the monsters.

No... your thread just got hijacked by a new forum troll that was just banned.
