Glider riding



'Glider riding is a sport that involves exploiting the magnetic properties of a Glider to Grapple Beam onto it as long as possible. (Similar to bull riding.) Samus Aran, who has had an enormous amount of physical training, appears to be able to Grapple Gliders indefinately, lest she swing into a wall, in which case she will lose her grip and fall.

Logbook entry
"The Glider is a docile, airborne creature with unusual magnetic properties. Gliders live a relatively peaceful existence. They have a magnetic signature attuned to common Grapple Beam technology; the sport of 'Glider riding' involves using a Grapple to attach to a Glider, then attempting to stay on it as long as possible."
