Yes... satin parachutes are great fun for you and your girl as a picnic "blanket". It gets great fun when the wind catches it and you and your girl are in the middle with parachute all around.....

Sneaky sneaky.

Well I bought two military "kites" today.

They should be here tomorrow or friday.

Now all I need is the lines.

One is a ram air "kite" and the other is a round "kite" that is 36 feet in diameter.

Should be a blast all over my family's grass pasture... all 60 acres of it.

Come this winter its going to get harry.... sled + 36 foot chute I mean "kite"....

OH YEAH!

Nice.

Well after watching it like 30 times,(cause its freakin cool) i have come to the conclusion that, if the ropes he was holding break or he let go.
he is
hmm
Fucked. yep that sums it up pretty nice, hes a good 40 feet in the air, so 40 feet in above the ground + a good 40mph speed at which he is traveling + ground being hard = hospital visit, and some crappy jello.:biglaugh:

hmm pretty good odds, try it on the salt flats, pletty of wind there.
