1975. Sky surfing takes the California beaches by storm, Geraldo tries hang gliding

Geraldo Rivera on his Good Night America program tries out and covers what every man has dreamed of, flying.

“It really is stepping into a dimension that’s been denied you, you know and that’s…cool.”

We begin with some classic old time clips of flying experiments and attempts, before getting into the real thing. Geraldo goes through a pre-flight check and gets up on the glider for the first time. The basics of hang gliding are covered and this segment closes out with a poem.

This day, Geraldo’s television history.
