Scooter Towing in LA

Scooter towing is a whole new way to have too much fun. I have used several tow systems over the years with hang gliders and paragliders. Pay out winches are super fun for hang gliding and paragliding but you have to have a driver and an observer and a lot of room, aero tow is great for hang gliders if you have the tow plane, too fast for paragliders, so lets see oh yea the simple scooter tow. Stop the car in an open soccer sized field, pull out the glider and harness, drop the bag chute and stand on it as you put on the harness and he drives to the end of the field and gets on the scooter and waits for a bow from the pilot and takes up the slack, then you are in the air, sweet!
