For me the following is apparent ..

What you have to look at is the damage that occurs to each and every kart
everytime some Moron takes it out (and they will) and brings it back damaged. I've
seen a few Karting businesses and everyone starts out with nice neat clean Karts
and within a year they are crap and no fun to drive.

No such problem with a well run soaring organisation.

Secondly what is missing in Soaring is not bringing the X factor to the fore.
Everything now days is eXtreme .. so why isn't soaring?

How many of you have been ridge soaring? Can you get anymore eXtreme? How about
acrobatics?

Gliding doesn't just have to be silent gentle soaring around a gorgeous sky. How
about launching two gliders into a 'strong' day and competing in a small triangle
course .. gaggling in the same thermal, wing to wing. Is that eXtreme enough for
you?

OK .. there is risk involved and the potential of collision .. but that's the X
factor!

I've always believed that Soaring is not targeted to the youth in our community ..
but then again maybe that's a good thing?
