Yay! it makes all of your free flight friends happy to see you make it to cloudbase, get 2+ hours in the air and enjoy the new wing. And thank you for relieve the drought with your tears of happiness
All these people holding on to the glider still drives me nuts. Guy on the keel nearly gets a hand hung up on your camera. Great flying! The above aside.
Thank you so much for sharing these ridge soaring videos. I passed my soaring test, currently have 24 flights in at LMFP, and your ridge soaring videos have become my study guides. The next weekend where conditions look favorable, I'm going for it.
@@yoshidragonaga Via Whatsapp, it sounded like conditions were good Friday afternoon, so I hope you got some big air! Sadly, I had to work and it's a 4 hour drive. :( I'm sure we'll cross paths in the future!
Loved the tight circle on approach 👏 and wondered if that was some PIO with all that speed on final (5:06-5:10). Your body position is awesome - like a plank - and no cross controlling and you even cross your ankles when out of the harness 🎉
I live in India here people don't know anything about hangglider I want to make hangglider can you help me can you send video of hangglider please give me your whatsapp number
@@jeffstratton8838 I'm not in your area, but an initial Google search pulls up Vermont Hang Gliding & Paragliding Association. Not sure if they do instruction, but maybe reach out to them to see what's available in your area?
@@yoshidragonagaI have a few questions. Did you rent equipment for your first flights and do you still rent or did you buy your own and how much ball park did you own cost? Also it’s funny you still fly look out mountain I live in the area I’m still excited but nervous looking into it. My fear is trusting equipment with my life I’m afraid of heights if I don’t trust something besides my own mistake
@@adambell1997 Yes, Lookout Mountain Flight Park has a training package that includes a glider rental. I bought my own soon after finishing the program, and I now own two gliders. I bought them used, so only paid about $2000-$2500 each. It's understandable that you don't trust the equipment yet. You will do many flights on the training hill at low altitude (flat ground-50ft-100ft) before you take off the mountain (1350ft), so you will learn to trust the equipment as well as your own technique. Lookout is so wonderful! The community is what keeps me going back. I was there for the last two weekends, despite the fact it takes me 6 hours each way.
Thanks, Mike! Ridge soaring is actually easy, once you can handle the stronger conditions. The lift is pretty much guaranteed, so you can stay up for as long as the wind keeps blowing.
I'll never forget leaning right and watching the horizon bank to the left. Hoping that i could get it to level back out! Funny how the whole experience seems normal to me now. Congratulations to you for having the courage to set up the glider , let alone jumping off a mountain! I hope to fly with you one day, my sky sister. Cheers!!
