I took The Walk many, many times long before combat arrived at Four Corners. When one learns to fly with floaters, one walks a lot. Flying slope with floaters like the GL means combat flyable wind is the enemy... and bravery often means trying to grab a thermal when the plane's a few hundred feet downhill. A lot of the beginners back then would graduate to combat within a month or so; it was a lot of fun but made trying to learn to fly -well- that much harder. I finally gave up flying when the Walk of Shame meant trying to find all the pieces of my built up gliders. The slope is great for maidens, too: nothing like a fat drop-off to give a new bird a lot of altitude -fast-. Back to the bench...
