I've started looking into paragliding as a means of world travel, and thought of using the Bering strait to get to Eurasia. According to the Wikipedia article, actor Ewan McGregor thought of the same thing for a motorcycle trip.
The only problem I see with paragliding so far is the hefty cost of getting started, 5 to 10 grand. There must be ways of whittling that down to size though.
