Does anyone here hang glide?

[kinch]

I am going flying for the first time tomorrow. Does anyone else here do this? There is a place right by where I go climbing in the gunks in NY.

I am curious of others' experiences (and the end cost - why do I pick expensive hobbies?).

OMG nobody? What do all you flat inlanders do? Just stare at the TV with a Bud and eat Nachos?

Sorry we're not as EXTREME!!11! as you. We enjoy things such as playing sports with friends, fishing, walking around one of the state parks, or going to one of the two best amusement parks in the world.

I went bungee jumping once. It is highly overrated.

Edit: Change "tv" to "computer screen", "Bud" to "Bud Light", and "nachos" (which you capitalized for some reason) to "chicken wings", and I'd say you have me pegged.

Dude, fishing is extreme. And if you don't know why I capitalized "Nachos," you haven't lived.

Extreme Nacho eating my friend. Live a little.

Geez you people.

(btw, really, where did the phrase "extreme" originate? skiing is the most extreme sport injury-wise, I'm sure, and maybe *gasp* football. . .)
