to go hanggliding, went hanggliding. Verb compounds are prohibited in English until back formations have been successfully accomplished, so "hangglide" is not quite yet a verb in English, it is too new. It is a nominal compound still. Eventually, back formation will do its work and "to hangglide" will be accepted as a verb, but not quite yet.

Yesterday I went hangliding

Tomorrow I will hanglide
Did you have fun when you were hangliding?

Sometimes it's easier to conjugate those kinds of verbs by adding -ing and structuring the rest of the sentence around it, i.e. "I went hanggliding yesterday."

I hang glide
you hang glide
we hang glide
To use it in the past tense I would say "I went hang gliding" OR "I was hang gliding" The verb is actually just "to glide" and "hang" is a modifier to show what type of gliding you did, so you could also say hang glided.
