This is the raw cockpit footage showing the run from Beer Head to Ladram Bay and then back again while on task. 5 beats gave a BGA ladder task distance of 63km. You may be able to get a feeling of how much fun I was having.

Loved it!!! Only thing that would have been better would have been to be flying on your tail 100 feet behind filming you! ;)

@user-qf7jz6zx5h 7 лет назад

RIP!!! You was for me one of the best pilots of the world!

@HangGlidingSouthAfrica 7 лет назад

This video is what got me hooked on ridge soaring... I may not be flying as fast as this in my hang glider... but to me the sensation is the same... Thanks for the memories Matt... You are missed.

@DS-hz4ie 8 лет назад

That is one of the best soaring videos I've ever seen. It looks like so much fun. Thanks for posting it.

@RetroGamerVX 7 лет назад

Thank you soo much for this video, after not being able to fly any more due to a change in financial circumstances, this made me feel so alive again just to watch!

Good to see you publishing new flights: I had an hour in the Discus yesterday in conditions that looked autumnal. Auckland is still warm, but the sky is quietening, so I look forward to virtual flying via your videos over the coming winter.

Good to meet you at North Hill yesterday, thanks for the advice and enthusiasm - keep posting the videos.

Love your music choices but would have been an injustice for this one!Laughter is perfect commentary . I'll be smiling for hours

@skysurfer5333 5 лет назад

Nice Ground Rush! Funtastic!!👍👍

@skysurfer5333 4 года назад

Much More Enjoyable With Live Audio! Music Just Detracts From & Ruins Soaring/Gliding Videos! Well Done !👍

@michaelderflinger5002 4 года назад

Unfurtunatly this very experienced pilot died in an accident in December 2016 after a winch launch failure during turbulent conditions. The sad but for glider pilots valuable details can be read in *AAIB_Bulletin_2-2018* page 32ff.

@surfingtheatmosphere1246 7 лет назад

Fantastic video. Great fun - I want a go! As an aside, you have probably noticed already but your TE tubing has a leak, would be well worth fixing that. Thanks for the great videos, keep it up!

@justinwiengarn1388 8 лет назад

@salnichols94805 7 лет назад

Matt, how do you guys coordinate/deconflict the airspace? It would suck big time to have someone 180 out of phase.

How strong was the wind? judging by the look of the sea surface it couldn't have been very strong!

@kbuss10 8 лет назад

are you keeping about 100 kts ? I cant read the speedo properly, are those numbers 80 and 110 ?

@basicpilot4006 7 лет назад

Your Chanel is amazing just like Bruno

@basicpilot4006 7 лет назад

I like your asw 29? And one day I can pull off these manuvers

@basicpilot4006 7 лет назад

If you visit England come to colts world gliding club I would be honoured

@ZoneTelevision 7 лет назад

Agree. Bruno has an awesome channel too. I’ve yet to see any night gliding .. of course not much to see at night. .. and I’m guessing Gliding at night probably doesn’t work so well because of no sunlight (heat) .

@basicpilot4006 7 лет назад

Zone Television gliders don't have lights so it would be highly dangerous to fly after sunset

@ZoneTelevision 7 лет назад

glider-enthusiast Adam yes, also I think the idea of having some kind of power assisted take off or to keep the glider aloft longer is a good idea if not for extended range certainly for safety.

@gregorius790 8 лет назад

@dmmdmm5435 7 лет назад

@alllbe 8 лет назад

Just out of curiosity, is this "Cliff Hooning" something special with real gliders? I am surprised, you as experienced soaring person, you discover a new playground!? With RC-"gliders" it's common and the most intense experience... , with "dynamic" soaring ...

@holtg007 8 лет назад

MAN i have got to come down to north hill

@leecurthoys7512 3 года назад

@Thomas..Anderson 7 лет назад

I was asking my self where he would go for a landing in case ridge lift decided to take a break for a few minutes.

@UPS1000 8 лет назад

Not sure if it is the camera compressing the distance but looks like there is no way your wing will not clip the cliff at certain points in this flight.

@UPS1000 8 лет назад

Thanks for the reply, I think that is correct that the wide angle lens is making it look closer than it is.

@stuward3046 8 лет назад

looks like fun Can you feed us some more data during the flight

@airlogic 8 лет назад

Full on .......

@ozzylaird 8 лет назад

You doing any commercial flying anymore?

@HeardFromMeFirst 7 лет назад

Well ..we now know where this got you

@pstrzel 7 лет назад

We all know what it gave him because he shared it with us. We have no way of knowing where it got him.

@6yjjk 3 года назад

If you mean killed, "this" had nothing whatsoever to do with it. This did: "During a glider winch launch in turbulent conditions the weak link parted. The pilot attempted to fly a circuit to land near the launch point but the glider encountered significant sink and had insufficient energy to complete the intended circuit. The pilot sustained fatal injuries in the impact with the ground." assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a5f158c40f0b652634c6f36/Schleicher_ASW_24_G-CFNG_02-18.pdf
