in case anyone was wondering, sylmar is the hang gliding capital of the world.
How to hang glide
It made me
happy! 
How I did it: i was backpacking in switzerland and decided to on a whim. it was expensive but very fun. we drove up in a van to the top of a mountain in the alps and ran down a sloping field to take off. its so peaceful but so thrilling at the same time because you're so high.
People doing this are also doing these things:

It's set

This is such a huge long-term dream for me that I’ll definitely go through with it, just not very quickly… I’ve dreamed about it since I was a kid, esentially. And not just tandem flights, but really learning to fly myself.
I’ll definitely do it winter/spring 2010. I’ll have the time and the money then.
Long-term goals

Maybe in spring 2010? Then I’d have the time and the money. This spring, not a chance.
Seems like the next best thing to skydiving

And because of a back injury about 10 years ago I cannot skydive. So hang gliding is where its gonna have to be at.

Hang gliding sounds amazing!
I want to fly…without all of the planes and silly stuff. I want to just be free and happy with the wind in my face and the Earth below me.
Wonderso wondering again
Fly

I’m sure I’m whatever thousands of dollars away from this goal and right now it’s just a pipe dream but I started thinking about it again. I have a goal that I want to skydive and I still do but some how that seemed like it might be short lived. I found myself wanting sustained flight. I want to soar and see the beauty.

I trained to be a commercial pilot after I completed high school and once finished, quit flying and eventually became a carpenter. I feel if you have an interest in flying then hang gliding is as close to pure flying as you can get. I have not tried it nor have I talked to anyone who has, but it seems to me that flying with no loud engine, no air traffic control, and no seat is really flying.

So one of the only places around where you can hang glide is Milwaukee and I also resolved that I’d go bungee jumping next time I’m up there for work.
Might work on this too.

Ever since I had a dream where I flew across the sea, I’ve been dying to fly for real. There was just something about it that made me feel so free- like nothing, not even gravity could’ve brought me down. I’m not afraid of falling. I’m more afraid of never getting the chance to try at all.
