So at the 2008 Beijing Paralymics, they had these things that looked like toy cars that you could stick the javelins in, then use a remote to drive it up and down the range. They didn’t work all that well…

When I got my very own crystal cabin going up to Ngong Ping, I couldn’t resist lying down on the ground and enjoying the feeling of floating (kinda).
