Hangboarding: Tubing for the “Extreme” Crowd

While searching high and low for any “happenings” online, I stumbled onto extreme sports latest sensation, Hangboarding. It’s like this: you deck yourself out in plenty of unnecessary gear, strap yourself to a makeshift harness attached to a hang-gliding type thingy and you’re off…sliding with the same speed and intensity as a deflating snow-tube.

When did tubing become too passe for extreme dudes? This whole Hangboarding phenomenon makes no sense. It looks as extreme as staying indoors, reading Chaucer and listening to Morrissey.
