Never heard of this man before today, but listening to him speak about the position, and the small details you can tell why he is a legend, and I hope he is a coach, because he is good at explaining the why behind things. Great video!
This guy is helping a lot cause I'm in a slump rn. Only hitting 110ft when my PR is 128.5 ft (I know its till bad but its my second year throwing so go easy on me). But Thomas is a great teacher and hopefully after he retires he coaches the next generation
Also, how can people get down with hang gliders if they go so high up in the first place?? How do you control yourself where you can eventually get down?
Wow, that's just so cool that he's hang-gliding like that!! I want to hang glide someday but it's a little scary for me. However, I will take it over skydiving because with skydiving you start at the height of an airplane, and you fall down to the ground and hope to heaven you survive. Whereas with hang gliding, you start at the ground and then you can soar up into the sky. You also don't have to go that high but you can go an altitude that you feel comfortable with where it's the same height as say a house, church, school, or other building that isn't as high as say a huge mountain but they're still high enough to where you can reach ground level and you can still land if you want to (which is where I prefer to be at when I hang glide). I have also seen hang gliders where your legs are sticking out and you can go higher (and like I said I won't go too high because I may fall to my death), and I'm surprised this guy had a net on his legs where he couldn't freely move his legs around. I want to hang glide not just for fun but also to get to and from work, school, the grocery store, and church every day just so I don't have to deal with traffic but my parents have told me that's not realistic so maybe whenever I hang glide, I'll do it like only once or twice just to say that I have done it already as a once (or twice) in a lifetime thing and then never again because it can be dangerous but that's why I just want to experience it once just because I just want to see the beautiful blue sky in the air!!
@@SuperDavidBrothersI don’t know what question you are talking about. But I can tell you going at as low altitudes as buildings with a hang glider is in it self unrealistic, unless u are about to land that is. Going to work and back is also unrealistic. You rely on weather to create the hot air bringing you up into the sky. To start a hang gliding I suppose you most if not all of the time need some altitude to get into those hot air pockets(thermals). Going low altitude is not possible for far flights, you need the height to bring you between the thermals. Low altitude won’t bring you far enough to get from one to another. Higher altitude is actually safer. Lets say you are at a relatively low altitude and don’t have any thermals, lets say you also have nowhere close to land because of trees or such. You will need to land in a dangerous way. If you got alot of altitude and no thermals you have way more likelihood of finding a good place to land. This is a sport for fun, not for traveling to any planned location. You rely on weather to be able to fly.
Gilette sponsors something masculine and positive? Oh its 7 years ago lol I was so confused. They would probably tell this man to go apologize for being a man in todays age. Well i would keep buying your products if you promote stuff like this Gilette take note. Fun and interesting video, enjoyed it. I always wonder how the ancients did this, would be so fun to be able to compare.
First of all, your amazing and don't think I could ever do what you do in a hundred years. But I started trampolining one year ago and I don't think you have to have no fear. Fear is fine, it's helpful as long as I don't let it take things away. Every time I want to learn a new trick, before starting I'm usually scared and my trainer askes me if I am ready. My answer is always "not at all, but let's do it anyway".
Partially agree, I’ve been doing trampoline for six years and fear has definitely saved me a few times, it stops me from doing things I’m not ready for physically or mentally, and definitely it can also hinder a lot and I know this one guy who seems completely fearless and has progressed a lot faster than I did and I envied his fearlessness for a long time, but now moving onto big and scary elements of trampoline I realize that fear is definitely useful to some degree to make rational decisions and know when you should leave something for a better day, but it can also be a real problem with bigger skills which will always be scary no matter how much I know I’m physically ready for them. (sorry for the ramble, just wanted to add on my two cents as I was also interested by his comments on fearlessness)
I have a question. How can I learn to hang glide as a visually impaired person. I still want to get the experience of flying and free falling even with my limitations
Moto Shibata is one of the coolest, best looking (on a skateboard) persons on the planet. Following the line of Christian Hosoi, Lester Kasai, Tony Mag and Ventura. One of the hottest skaters around, millions adore him (for good reason). Gilette is a vile, angry, men hating brand that thought they could re educate its customers by pretending there was "something evil" within it's core consumerbase, namely: toxic masculanity. Where Moto Shibata deserves a prize for the ultimate male role model, Gilette deserves to be thrown away and NEVER to be purchased again.
