Seems to me that we are comparing two completely different types of equipment which has completely different flight characteristics, that operate in different environments and flight conditions, to one another. Switch the environment around and each plane would not perform as designed.

Never the less, dynamic soaring is pretty cool. Guys were talking about this at the hobby shop that I frequent. But I get a bigger kick out of watching birds do this by instinct.
