Default s2000 paraglider pilots

calling on paragliding pilots. I'm struggling fitting my paraglider and reserve in the boot however, managed to pack the glider by not storing the glider in the rucksack. I'm thinking of getting a smaller harness to pack away in the boot and was wondering what other s2000 paraglider owners have done.

Paragliding?

I wouldn't trust half the nutters on this site with a paraglider.
I do think there's a couple of saddos into extreme kite flying or something.

Or was it extreme ironing?

Yes. I am known for my penchant for pussies.

...
I don't think this one is up to my usuall standard. I feel like a change.

...
There... That's better.


Right then, let's get it back on topic before we get moved to the off-topic corner.

OK. COME ON GUYS!
This fella wants to know how to turn his boot into a tardis.
Any Ideas?

Got a great one of a smashed up Boxster yesterday, must get round to uploading that one today.

Also into power kiting (extreme )

I'd never have thought you could get paragliding equipment into an S2000 boot.

have you thought about a boot rack?

Also, replacing the spare wheel with a couple of tins of tyre foam gives you a fair amount of extra space.

Alternatively, use a smaller paraglider - one of Rich's kites perhaps......if you're extreme enough

Alex,

I suppose I could just lean over and ask you this, but seeing as you are down the pub at the moment...

Have you tried taking out the foam "tool kit" holder?
It does give you quite a bit of extra space to play with, and the "tools" can be put inside the spare wheel. (With some towels for packing to stop them rattling around)
