Robin & Mark's Trip to Rio (2005)
At the "Plataforma" show - essentially traditional singing, dancing and strutting in every possible costume (or lack of costume) immaginable.
Just when you thought there couldn't be any more Plataforma...we give you more Plataforma.
We thought - why not soar above the earth in circular patterns supported by only some nylon and a few steel bars? Sounds like a blast.

More setting up. Hang Gliding pilots are allowed a maxium of 6 flights a day. After that their wings get tired.

Robin on the takeoff ramp. Paulo's exact words... "Run Robin Run Robin Run Robin Run." He loved the alliteration.
Coming in for the landing...just before Paulo yelled "Get out of the way Mark!"
In front of the Sheraton...local folks sell "authentic" Brazilian football jerseys and beach wraps.
