Good idea guys.....lets mix extreme endurance sport with flying. Most of the time I like what Red Bull is sponsoring, but this is just bad judgment. Geez...I cant feel my toes anymore and I,m totally dehydrated.....maybe I should just fly the rest of the way.

cause probably you not a very smart person that spends his time watching skateboarding videos; a bit of respect man and try to learn a bit about to understand and to judge

[iwantafarm]

not as smart as you aparantly, but I am a pilot and a somtimes athlete and I dont think this is good idea at all...not sure what you mean about the skate vids...

Paragliding on three hours of sleep + a hundred mile hike is extremely dangerous, I'm sure, but that's why out of the millions of people who have paraglided, only thirty are in this event. These guys are incredibly good at their niche activity, and can literally do it with their eyes closed. I don't think anyone's been killed yet, anyway. If anything, I figure people are more likely to hurt themselves doing the Red Bull Flugtag competition. At least these things actually fly when used correctly.
