Got my P1 before breaking my back during my p2. Dunno if I'm going to continue or not. Its really fun.

its always a persons dream to fly, but the fact is it probably wouldn't be all that great
it gets really cold and windy really fast up there. if I could fly I'd probably not go very fast or very high unless I had a flight suit
I guess superhero costumes make more sense when you think about it

Your right about the wind. I only flew during the spring/summer and not very high. I assume it does get cold up there, but I ski as well and thats cold. I still enjoy skiing.
What helped sell me was finding out that you can go up. There are people who have flown hundreds of miles by hopping from one thermal to another.
Another aspect I like is the hike and fly. You can fit all the gear to fly in a backpack for around 10lbs and fly down after a hike instead of walking down. Thats sick.

I'm kiting right now. Forward launch sucks balls on a flat plain.
