Para-gliding involves using a harness that is attached to a small sailing sail to fly above the earth. The harness allows you to fly. It protects you from falling through the air.
Flying requires no special equipment. Simply attach your body to the sail. Next, take off. As you ascend, the wind pushes against your sail. This allows it to lift you.
As you glide along, your momentum keeps you moving forward. Your momentum carries you forward until you reach the end of the cable. You release your grip at that point and return to the earth.
Once you are ready to go again, attach the sail to your body.

You need to keep moving faster so you have to push your legs up and kick forward. Once you have reached your desired speed, let your legs relax and allow them to come together. When you want to slow down, you just repeat the process.
Once you know how to stop yourself from crashing into the ground, you must find out how fast you want to go. There are many methods to measure speed. Some prefer to count laps around a mountain, while others prefer the distance from one turn and another. If you want to practice controlling your speed, try measuring your speed by timing yourself or by counting laps. Practice makes perfect!
After you have learned how to slow down and speed up, it is now time to learn the tricks of turning. To turn, just lean forward towards the side you want. To far and you'll fall into the ground. If you don't lean enough, you will not be able turn. Once you're able to turn correctly, you can start learning tricks. Tricks are complex moves that require balance and timing. They include things like flips, spins, cartwheels, and more.
There are many types of tricks. For example, some tricks involve jumping over obstacles, tricks that involve flipping over obstacles, and tricks that involve spinning over obstacles. Each trick is different. You might need to spin 180 degrees midair if you are trying to jump above something before you land on the opposite side.
