Sunset Speedrun Top to Bottom  

Why do people always use Timmy? "need another Timmy" Google that. :-)

Apparently no one has googled ............. need another timmy

I was expecting "mom can I go in the backyard to play?" Mom: Yes Timmy Timmy hang glides like a beast

@@JohnSmith-uy7sv How about Jimmy?...

apparently. If they had.. I would have more comments. :-) Thanks. Need another Timmy. Besides me.

Supister I am that flying man outside your window! I fly every day and one site I land in a field in between two lines of houses! Most of the neighbours know us regulars, bit we fly pretty much every day!

@@patrickswayze2596 is there no regulations on locations you that can fly??

C X we have very strict regulations over here mate. We’re governed by the HGFA (hang gliding federation of Australia) and we also have strict laws in certain airspace by CASA (civil aviation safety authority), but certain fly sites don’t have top landing, and one of our sites which is almost always on bottom lands in a field but it’s a strip kind of deal with houses on both sides of the park. Same site were not allowed to use the beach (which would make the walk back much easier), because it’s a very popular tourist beach, and they just won’t let us flag it or put witches hats down to land in the tiniest little section of the beach.. But yes, we’ve had two deaths at another fave of mine and about 5 or 6 serious injuries at the spot this year already simply because there’s no bomb out zone! It’s either too land on top of every Japanese tourist standing in clearly marked spots not to stand, or down on the beach, and it’s either thick dense bush or the ocean, and you’d rather land in the bush then those hard core waves smashing your into the rocks

C X eBay country you in dude?

@@patrickswayze2596 I only paraglided once so I don't know regulations super well, but I feel its also quite strict in the USA. Sorry to hear your flying site situation was not ideal.

if boring = long and safe then yes

ikr

im actually kind of sad that i will never get to do this

@@Plazmacool same

@@XWolf many people are doing dangerous fun things for the rest of their lives and they get to live longer than others

At least you have one. I can only make paper airplanes. :-) Would love to be a passenger..but at my age, they would probably say no. Good way to die. :-)

Come join the community bro, it’s not cheap, but either are bikes, I know because both my wife and I ride road and all of us (5) ride dirt, but airsports will change your life bro!

good pick

@gooKi momor what does that even mean?

@gooKi momor No pain, no gain bro

It would lose most viewers, but some content creators use a second channel for odds and ends like full raw video. Asking for that might get you what you want.

agree, if I want to I can speed it up.. this way I can't slow it down.

Watch the video on 0.5x

when i watch this video, same question run in my mind

Chad MacDonald I personally think this style of editing is perfect

in my opinion skydiving is better

Soaring is amazing too !

too dangerous, and I'm a skydivers/basejumper

No CAP skydiving is dangerous too,

@@bvio err.... different sports dude...apples & oranges. One is a brick falling off the sky, another is flying for hours catching rising air.

he saw it the last moment and pulled up .. was pretty close

Nearly shit myself

Notice also the cableway, ski-lift and power lines that this fool flies over or grazes instead of avoiding. He also doesn’t care about the private property. I like flying but its not the way to do it. He is really stupid. I do not wish him the worst, but surely he will get in trouble or will hurt himself.

@@mr.polemikus4933 You love commenting negatively about him

​@@mr.polemikus4933بالنسبة لي افضل جزء من الطيران الشراعي هو الإقتراب من الأرض على سهل منحدر واطلاق العنان للسرعة تحليقك فوق الأرض انه افضل شعور وهاذا الشخص لا يريد تفويت فرصة مثل هذه ،، حتا الطيور تحب ذلك على الرغم انها تستطيع التحليق عاليا لكنها تحب ان تطير ملاصقتا الأرض

I would be more worried about angry farmers waiting with a 12 gauge shotgun! If the milk cows stopped providing milk.

Exactly what I thought!

manometre like 3:50 uh....

@@MrMavnkaf 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

It's pretty shocking to see (hahaha), but realistically, I'm sure he knows exactly where all of the power lines in that route are, and is approaching with plenty of speed to ensure he can gain the lift needed to pass over them with a safety margin to spare. If he didn't find enough lift to maintain a safe enough speed, I'm sure he would have worked his way down the mountain and crossed where he safely could. It's amazing the control those little light-weight gliders have.. I paraglide, but I need to hang glide ;-)

I'm building a nicccceeeee She-Shed for my wife. She didn't even flinch when I mentioned taking up hang gliding at 65.

i didnt see those, but he is a husky dude so I was more concerned about his weight lol

Glide ratio is a function of the wing. With the same wing and a heavier pilot you get the max glide ratio at a faster speed than with a lighter pilot. This is why sailplanes carry water ballast on days when the lift is strong they fly faster to get the max L/D. Stall speed isn't going to be that much more with a pilot who is say 30#'s heavier than another.

Bruce yes im aware of this, I was just calling him fat in a nice way lol Good explanation though

Jon Doe nice on man!!!

Bring on the scientists who dont get the joke😂😂

This is such an adorable comment :”)

Awww

😂😂

So simple yrr 🤗🤗😍

pretty good question! curious to see what his answer is!

Magnar Nordal I think so, I think it would be stupid to fly around not knowing the place

Magnar Nordal 6:00 is crazy!

I don't know him, but given his comments from the video, he instructs from that site, and flies it regularly. (That launch was definitely designed for gliders) Given the slope of the hill and direction of the power lines (going down the slope), he can make his way down the hill to safely cross in a location where he has adequate speed/altitude.. the fact that he flew so close to them suggests he felt he had plenty of speed to maintain control and ensure clearance of the lines. Before flying a route, a responsible pilot will generally (always) check the route for emergency landing sites and hazards.. power lines being a big part of what a pilot's looking for, as they tend to shorten many ideal landing sites, and as you saw from the speed the gliders landed at, it takes a good sized field to allow a novice to safely land.

I wonder how far he was from the ground there ?

Looool me too

It's not creepy & there's neighbor nearby

Why are you an expilot?

Bear049 because he/she was a pilot then they retired or got fired or just quit I don’t get ur question

@@Bear049 Yep. As Joe Boi said... I "retired"... after a few nasty close calls that convinced me I was... well, past it. I do miss it, though.

@@watershedcohousing9650 hey Christine that question was from a year ago. Yes I was wondering what you used to fly and why you stopped. I wasn't trying to be flipped just wondering sorry. God bless you

@@Bear049 Hey no worries, really! But, like I said, I realized that I was starting to f-up when I flew, and if I kept going there was a chance I could make a serious mistake. Sigh. By the way, my last glider was a UP Comet 2 (which gives you an idea how long ago it was!)

Thanks man and congrats that's awesome. Have fun and fly high 🤙

Alice H don’t just talk about it, do it! Where in Australia are you? I’ve been a Paraglider, powered Paraglider and hang glider for many years now, and the amount of times I hear people say ‘I want to do that’ but never follow through with it is disappointing! Either HG or PG is a lifestyle, and go give a tandem a go and if you think it’s for you, then commit to a course! We have many extremely amazing schools all across Australia!

Patrick Swayze out of PG and HG which do you prefer?

@@patrickswayze2596 Problem is that buying a good kite / glider is quite expensive. Then add the training, education and certification cost on top of that. That's easily 10,000 € or more, just for the basic stuff.

Dan221075 I prefer Paragliging and paramotoring over hang gliding, things just change, we change and our motivations change, I guess I can have more fun doing what I do on a paraglider... I still get my HG out from time to time, but it’s a pain in the arse strapping it down then setting it up, where I can just use my mini wing when it’s heavier winds

@@patrickswayze2596 I'm sorry, I'm in the US instead of Australia. I was looking at some schools here but right now they're closed of course

VG (variable geometry), modifies wing geometry. the "more" cord the higher the speed and gliding performance but less maneuverability.

Sweeps the wing forward a bit and makes it tighter: better glide ratio (flatter/faster)

(1) Wind nose angle change( increase, higher aspect ratio),(2) lower trailing edge ( less drag) (3) Sail cloth gets drum tight (4) pilot CG goes a bit forward. A litle bit like a fighter jet ( but wings don't close). In summary more performance ( improved glide ratio, top speeds) but less maneuverability. Ps -mechanism: the rope activates a series of pulleys conected to the inside physical structure of the glider ( crossbar, sprogs, etc) in order to change the glider geometry effortlessly.

@@NoTengoIlusionesYep, you have to be a pilot and aerodynamic's genius like I stated earlier. I'm to stupid to fly one of these at my old age.

Switzerland

It would actually be really cool if they rigged the glider FOR VR capture, wouldn't it? :-)

I'm not religious, but that was nicely written :-) Cheers from Norway.

TheFjordflier thank you.. Your flying is inspiring.

Stephanie Kent Except it’s “soar” not “sore”; I would rather not hurt anywhere.

haha ooops yes silly me thank you :) x

thank you :)

Lol

Its a house for cows.. cow sheed? Idk but i live right around the corner

mr.NoPro Wow...what a place to live! I envy you 😅👏

@@NoPro420 where was this filmed???

@@Unknown-cf4ei switzerland probeply around lauterbrunnen

Not really. Done right it's not very dangerous at all. If you mean specifically the type of flying on this vid though, yeah, you flat out better know what you are doing.

Haha wtf are u blind how is this Green Screen hater

I can't tell if you're joking but this is real

Hahahahhaha

@@pouyasheykhghasemi2724 On YT you NEVER know if 'joking', just go visit a few flat Earth videos and you will understand that I am dead on. If you go look at some of say, Tucker Got's PPG videos, where he go pros from his foot, it really DOES look green screened, it's downright weird how much, actually, and it isn't. This video here, doesn't look screened, at all. I think The Dro's was a joke here, though.
