That's a kite! Paragliders normally don't loop that fast or flat. _________________ My kite not pink it's magenta damit! |

I know, I was just saying damn that's pretty high and a ton of airtime for a kite!
Though I didn't even know can you really loop a paraglider like that (such that the lines cross)? |
