I have been an outdoor sportsman all my life… archery, fly fishing, snow machine, dirt bike, jet ski, skiing, snow boarding, wake boarding to name a few. I recently (5 years ago) found a passion for kite surfing and snow kiting. That progressed to the need for more “air time” so myself, and several “kiter” friends, picked up the sport of paragliding and then “Powered Paragliding” as seen in the video.
Now I find it hard to do any other sport, except flying paragliders, weather motor flying or free flying. Only because I spend so much time in the air. I tell everyone the same thing….”You have not lived until you have flown” and I don’t mean sitting in a plane, but rather being the plane.
My name is Chris Reynolds, 52 years old, born and raised in Kodiak, Alaska until 7th grade 1972/73, when I moved to Anchorage to finish at Dimond High School. Now I live in the Mat-Su Valley at Big Lake, about an hour's drive from Anchorage.
