In early 2000, I had decided to upgrade my paraglider for something with a little bit more performance and more up to date . . .

It was at this stage I remembered a discussion on EuroPG about a different kind of glider called "The Cage". I did a little investigation and became more than a little intrigued by what I found around the internet about the cage method of flying. I decided that instead of purely replacing my paraglider, I would try out the cage and possibly buy one.

I am putting my experiences good and bad for all to see and judge for themselves whether this amazing form of flying would be suitable for them.

I have decided not to go into the technical aspects of the gliders, as other sites, such as the ASPIC site do this side of it already, better than I could. I have instead put down my personal experiences and to a large extent my personal opinion.
 

IMPORTANT!

THESE ARE PERSONAL OBSERVATIONS ONLY AND SHOULD NOT BE USED TO TRY AND TEACH YOURSELF TO FLY THE CAGE. THIS SHOULD BE DONE ONLY BY A SUITABLY TRAINED INSTRUCTOR.

You risk at least damage to your Cage and even personal injury if you do not get proper instruction.
