paragliding

I did a double-take when I first heard about this. A guy somehow managed to paraglide all the way from Boulder, Colorado to Cheyenne, Wyoming. I found the video of him achieving this feat.

Paragliding is becoming a very popular sport throughout the world, both on the recreational and competitive level. With all of the beautiful, open areas we have here in Wyoming, it's no surprise it has caught on in Casper as well.

If you've driven through northwestern Wyoming, you know exactly how spectacular the Tetons are. But, what about from above?

There’s nothing like an eagle entangling itself in your parachute to turn a relaxing paragliding session over the Himalayas into a heart-pounding plunge to the ground. Fortunately for the Russian paraglider in this video, his reserve chute deployed without a hitch.
