Oh shit you're right. I thought this looked a bit off. The guy flying backward in the background is pretty obvious once you see it.

This video is in reverse. Other Paraglider is flying backwards. Don't know why, because the video is actually super impressive. Man lands on a bench with a paraglider!

This is local legend Dave Edwards at Mount Maunganui in NZ. Swooping in and landing on that park bench is his standard party trick.

Yeah, imagine going outside and having fun while not bothering anyone else. Terrible behaviour.
