Some kiters including Neil and Evan are getting into paragliding and even imitating flying squirrels ...


A whole squadron of high flying squirrels tool over Sebastian Inlet.



Look up!



The trick is to reduce the rate of fall and increase the glide slope with the webbing between appendages.



Impressive panorama!

Keep 'em flying Evan!



and for something from across the pond, wingsuits on video over Norwegian Fiords




The father or is it mother of the sport, the placental rodent.
