It's only falling without hitting the ground until you get used to it. It's work, sometimes -- other times you can glide, let the thermals push you up and soar. You can see everything.

You know how you feel almost weightless when you go swimming? Imagine that, but the view's better and your lungs aren't going to explode if you don't breathe. When the weather's nice, when no actual birds try to pick on you... it's amazing.
