As per below topic on reddit, I and I am sure many others would like to use their spinal blade back pieces as glider skins. It lends it self rather well to it seeing that it looks like a jetpack.
What would the possibility be of implementing this as such? As an idea, if you want to make it more exclusive, maybe only allow the ascended level(tempered, static, dynamic and synergetic) back piece to become available to those players who already have it or may still make it.
Making it accessible via the scouts in Verdant Brink just like the feathered wings.
As someone who has all four ascended skins (green, blue, red, & the unmodified orange) i would LOVE to see these as gliders!
Going with the theme of backpieces helping you glide, though, here are some others i want to see:
-Mawdrey! We put a great deal of effort into crafting it, and there are mordrem with ‘wings’ presumably made out of vines. When you deploy your glider, a tangle of purple/white vines grow out into a configuration like the struts of a glider with a leaf-like membrane stretched between them.
-Light of Dwayna: It already has little wings, but when you start gliding, large translucent angel wings would appear behind your character.
-Shadow of Grenth: In keeping with the Light of Dwayna, this would extend wing-like swirls of icy mist behind your character while in flight.
Any other cool backpieces that could be turned into gliders?
Oooh, the final level Fractal Capacitor could work too…
The ring breaks apart into shards connected by wisps of mist (like the weapons) and leaves the same trail as the weapons do when you glide

There are so many back pieces that would lend itself well to a glider skin. I really hope Anet is listening in and makes this happen!
Many of us spent a lot of time, effort and sometimes money to get these backpieces done, so it would be a great reward as glider skins
I would think it’s only fair to give at least a few other existing back pieces glider skins. I have quite a few, but among that collection I do not and will not ever have those floppy angel wings. They’re just too big and have lots of clipping problems.
Spinal Blades a must have glider, you could do like an arcing energy field between the blades when gliding. Way better than pidgeon wings!
Am I a bit cynical in thinking that they’ll never release a glider wing that you don’t have to give them gems for though?
I’d even give gems to upgrade my spinal blade to a glider skin if your gonna be that way (but it would be odd to have a gemstore item that relied on having an in game item to work).
I would like to quad spinal blades up to tempered+ maybe since they are not actually wings but a jetpack maybe give quad-tempered a red/normal flame and the infused/colored the sparks and a flame that matches the color you have.
I keep hoping that one day it’ll happen. Please add your request to that thread, ‘cause the more that suggest it in one place, the more likely it’ll be noticed and happen.
As someone who just finished the Tempered Spinal Blades, I agree 100%.
No need for fancy lights, just the blades straight up and combined into a wings, I think that’s enough.
