    Thought about doing something to make some money while in Brasil... but this is more like a wishful thinking than anything... I have a full list of things to do before anything else...

    One thing I have always thought about doing... jumping from the Pedra da Gavea mountain in Rio... with those hand gliders.... That can be a great thrill.... :biggrin_25519:

    I have done some crazy stupid things in my life, but jumping out of a perfectly good airplane, bungee jumping AND jumping off a lmountain holding on to a kite has NEVER crossed my mind. DON"T DO IT. lol

    I love to fly, in a bonefied aeroplane, the smaller the better, but it is at least have some kind of engine. lol
    I used to live close to a cliff, that was called the best place in north America to hang glide and seen a lot of it and talked to people of all ages taking lessons. But I had enough sense to not even think of trying it myself. lol

    Dude, if you can drive Atigun, you can parasail... hang glide, et al. I drove AK a few times as a 'favor' for my boss that owned all those Petercar 'Hoods' ... good lawd. Longest week of my life. The plane ride home was cake. I delivered a 'hood to a buddy of his there (LOOOONNG trip from here) and didn't know they were gonna run me all week. Sheesh....... Y'all have fun. One of the few times I've chained, and BOY did I cinch those bad boys tight~! ;)
