So look back to the Eighties when Paraglider Pilots were trying to develop as an Self Sufficient, Self Reliant Sport. They, Paragliders did not reach out to those {HG Pilots} Who had done the "Exact thing" that They were attempting to do. No that was too difficult. It was far easier to simply take away from those HG Pilots Who had started Their own organization USGA. Then re-formed USGA to suit themselves, that is exactly what They did. Now there is USHPA. I Myself wrote two letters to USGA, proposing that we should help them to develop their own Organization. Never did I think that They would ever take over

Just because Paraglider Pilots exude a sense of tremendous courage because they are able to Fly those Bags. This should not mean that they should be able have come into Our Organization, and take it away from Us. Just because they poses a huge amount of Courage, it does not warrant them simply by invading our very own USGA .

Do not get Me wrong. i bet that If I could disregard the Fear. I would enjoy boating around in a Paraglider. But after all I must just admit the fact that I am basically a Coward. No Paraglider Flying is not in the cards for Yours Truly.

Check these thoughts out: i Chris McKeon see Fly as an Awesome adventure. One that when You get Down to Brass Tacks . Flying is ruled by by Physics. But mixed up in the reality of Flying. Perception, indecisiveness, Insecurity, and Fear. Couling those properties together lowers the Bar regarding expecting having success regarding saw doing anything outside of the Standard, Mundane Flying that is done by so Many. Take Myself; I am currently at the lowest Point regarding My wish to enjoy Free-Flight. But slowly that is changing. Even though I can not Fly My Predator. You can bet on Me to be picking John's Brain regarding how I will Fly My Predator. Now that I am a Hundred Pounds lighter than I was.
