JonMalmberg Since 15 Aug 2011 340 Posts Obsessed Fri Apr 13, 12 7:44 am     Hey John, It's not the height that can get you, but more the proximity of objects... Thus, low cliffs/antennas/building can get dicey as half the usable "sky" gets blocked by something hard. As a relatively new BASE guy, the paraglider is awesome to work on dead air exits and manauvers (fronts/gainers/barrel rolls). We can jump relatively high (800 ft. plus) and have lots of "sky" to work with. Those riser twists Justin had could have been deadly off a "normal" object. Dude, I need to get you up in the air. Easy tandem tows out there at Rufus on non-wind days!
