My dad used to do this way back in the 70s! I could never, but enjoy watching. I love how people who hanglide look like little butterflies with little caterpillar bodies hahaha xo
Greetings! Nice views and flight! My name is Slava and I am hanggliding pilot from Russia. I with my friends are planning our vacations and thinking about to visit Turkey. It would be pleasure for us if we can meet with hang gliding pilots in Turkey. We planing our vacations at 1 - 24 October. Can we meet with some pilots at this dates? Do you planning flying on this dates? Can we take in rent some kingpost glider and harness? What models of glidegrs do you use? I will be happy any informations from you. I apollogize for my English! Good flights and safe landings to you!
Ha, this is like us skydivers are doing only we call it swooping (and we go faster and lower and with higher precision than that). Basically we fly our parachutes to a vertical 270° or 560° turn and let it recover in a dive to a horizontal position swooping above the ground at high speed. Basically a good swooper can hit a beer bottle coming in from around 800 ft in about 5 seconds. Swooping competitions are held worldwide but the ones in Dubai usually draw the worlds biggest talents.
This particularly dangerous undertaking was called " Speed Gliding" and it turned out to be a last ditch effort to market hang gliding to the masses before it faded from the collective consciousness... hang gliding is still fun though...like flying
I love the entire video, you all are amazing and I hope to do this soon. I also love the music, honest, and I want to know who it was so I could download it. The song before "Praise you like I do"? Could you let me know please? Also, tell me, did you begin hand gliding by going with an instructor first? Thank you!
