And the younger Bush still goes mountain biking with veterans - years after his term as President. Three cheers for those who remain active all their lives. I think John minimizes the chances of injury by placing importance on proper training for paragliding - rigorous attention to the proper maintenance of his flying equipment - and doing exercise to strengthen any damage from his four wheeler wreck.Ronald Mahanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14212335044689143408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-49101410826181213722016-10-07T13:40:18.443-05:002016-10-07T13:40:18.443-05:00The Doctor will say a crash on this will be worse ...The Doctor will say a crash on this will be worse than the four wheeler.

Doesn't mean it's for everyone, and it helps if you're in good physical condition, but there are plenty of PPG pilots who are much older than John. In fact, I know the instructor that he's been taking to in Houston, Andy McGavin, and he's in his 60's, and is at least 7 or 8 years older than John. He's also one of the best PPG pilots in the country. <br />https://www.powered-paragliding.com/information/experienced-instructorAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00571338102893013181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-76958900912183881622016-10-07T09:11:54.642-05:002016-10-07T09:11:54.642-05:00It's a young man's game RonIt's a young man's game Ronmikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04018387374478754620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-61901772216303873682016-10-07T08:34:37.835-05:002016-10-07T08:34:37.835-05:00I suspect one day - not too long in the future - a...I suspect one day - not too long in the future - all you naysayers will be proven wrong - and there will be a paraglider pilot named John Wells living at the Field Lab.
