I've seen ravens banking up and down along the open end of an empty football stadium on a windy day. They'd open their wings, catch the breeze and get lofted upwards then close up their wings and drop back down and repeat. There was not other reason from them to do that unless they were just caught up in the moment and enjoying themselves.
