Hang Gliding with 1-800-Sky-Ride – This is Not Your Daddy’s Kite

Hang Gliding with 1-800-Sky-Ride is the Extreme Sport World’s preferred Hang Gliding Venue.

Smyrna, GA, March 18, 2006 --(PR.com)-- Hang Gliding with 1-800-Sky-Ride is the Extreme Sport World’s preferred Hang Gliding Venue. 

From coast to coast, 1-800-Sky-Ride, the nation’s most popular adventure sports provider, is filling the skies with bedazzled people riding huge, brilliantly colored kites. 

The sporting world’s fastest growing segment is extreme sports, and hang gliding is the nation’s fastest growing extreme sport. 

Imagine being suspended from a giant wing thousands of feet above the ground, sailing currents of rising air while basking in golden silence and brimming serenity. 

Hang gliding is the lift to a lustrous view of the world few have ever experienced. 

Modern hang gliding was birthed in the late 1960’s when NASA scientist, Dr. Francis Rogallo, conducted experiments to develop a super-wing capable of retrieving space vehicles. After NASA opted, instead, for using parachutes to retrieve space capsules, Rogallo made his super-wing research available to the public. Consequently, hang gliders began employing the technology in their wings, which are still called “Rogallo Wings.” 

In the 1970’s, following the lead of pioneers such as Bill Moyes and Bill Bennett, hang gliding exploded. And, along with the sport’s tremendous growth, gliding techniques quickly advanced. For instance, by the end of the decade, instead of hanging onto the kites with their hands, harnesses comfortably attached pilots to the kites. 

Today, reaping the technological benefits of almost four decades, riding a wing through the skies is safer, easier, and more exciting than ever!
