Paragliding/mountain biking, at the same time!

I have a nephew in Alaska who's into paragliding, he rides a snowmobile up the HooDoo mountains, and then as near as I can tell purposely turns the sled loose to coast back down on it's own, following the tracks it made on the way up. Then he ridge soars for a bit and eventually lands back down the sled. Makes me proud! This vid he sent me is worth a view, some serious (and crazy) skill, wow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnms-QS6A9E&sns=em

Very cool but I don't think the bicycle part would be for me.
