6th FAI Junior World Gliding Championships 

Brilliant! And what a great advert for our wonderful sport.

I have watched this video 6 times over the past 4 years and have no doubts that it should be entered into a film festival or competition. The mood and human elements of this extremely technical topic of championship gliding are so well blended and so well edited as to rate as the best video on any topic that I have watched on youtube. This video is well conceived with plenty of cut-away and relevant material to give the excellent editor material to work with and further enhance with just enough creative fx to round the video off nicely. Congratulations on an excellent production.

This video is great! Will probably watch this one many times in the future, for great gliding scenes and good memories! Geir

Wow... what a nice vid. Thats pure art!

Bis zum großen Finale! und dann ROCK! genial!

Never too late to make it an olympic sport ;-)

Fantastic video! May I ask you which effects did you use exactly for making these 'shakes' and 'noises' ? (I assume it's in After Effects) Thx

@poelaertpieterjan It was supposed to become an olympic sports but WWII intervened. See wikipedia article for gliding.

sehr gelungenes video! respekt

The song is Glósóli by Sigur Ros

What are you talking about? desicions to survive? Well, the championships where just great. I wanted to show that in this video. glider flying is not a fight for surviving... Watch the video till the end - there you find loud guitars and fast planes. maybe you prefer my "extreme gliding" video?! gliding is life.

soooo nice! thank you!

eine kleine Konstruktion. Ein Alublech an das Nasenprofil angepasst. Darauf ein Vierkantrohr mit Bohrung. Darauf kann man dan die Kamera mit Gewindeschraube festdrehen. Um meine Nerven zu beruhigen, Tape. Viel Tape.

love it...

Priceless @ 3:55 ...!

Love it!

Brawo !!!

Great :)

@Brian19890624 it was cut with "final cut express". don't know what this effect is called in english... must be somesthing like "tv noise".

hope is no strategie, EPIC! :D

The picture is beautiful, but the content..........

yeah, THIS IS SOARING

This is a very nice Vid. But Music kills me. Less esoteric and more Rock please, ..in the air , we have to do right desicions to survive!,So , why always that angel-like Music ?Its a Paradoxon! But filming is just sensational.Thanks.

@hubhubhurra Hier kann ma ja Deutsch sprechen.....Meinte dass im Sinne von ; dass man genau wissen muss , was man tut da oben. ist ja harte Theorie und fliegen kann man auch nicht so besoffen wie Radfahren. Ja Musik wird härter , sorry habs nicht nach hinten geschafft.Habe am Sonntag ersten Schnupperflug. Freu mich riesig, bei der Segelfluggruppe Buochs , Schweiz.Lg Ralph
