Calm, smoke rises vertically. Go paragliding/base jumping/hang-gliding
Smoke drift shows wind direction. Its coming-get large size kites ready!
Wind felt on face, leaves rustle. Cruising on Mt board/buggy/snowkite
Leaves in motion, light flags extended. Ripping on Mt board/buggy/snow
Flags flap, small branches move. Now we’re talking>>jumping begins
Small trees begin to sway. Loving life, fully powered, smiling
Large branches in motion. Experts only with huge grins
Whole trees in motion . Hard core riders flying!
Trouble walking! Carnage for riders, better to chill out in comfort watching Ozone DVD
