Let me know how that works out with your venom - I've got some pretty good hang time on flat land - but would love to know how it does off a dune.
we all believe is called the expansion

The thing I liked most about the first one was a guy just doing a little pop in decent winds and then floating around some small dunes, not jumping
off a cliff - yes that second one is impressive, but the first one is something that a sane person could try.

They are both essentially ridge soaring. The first guy is having some fun on soft and modest dunes, but the second guy is in line for a Darwin award.
there is a reason that they make paragliders and hang gliders and a reason they are different form kites.
