awesome video, it shows those paragliders how boring it is comparing to hangliders...I would say its the same difference between surf and bodyboard.....!!!uhuuuuuu
looks like a E I have about 6 from A to several E's that i would like to find a good home for. They all fly different, from ea. other. Like most sensors.
Hang gliders range in price depending on style make model much like cars. used stuff runs around a 1000bucks for something airworth and in decent shape,harnesses vary to but used knee hanger harness about 200. Then you need a brain bucket and some lessons. Learning to fly HG is fairly easywith proper instruction as the gliders are VERY stable to flybut as you can see then can carve awesome to. Good Luck!
Hey Jack...Over here in the UK with our smooth topped green hills beating up the punters on takeoff and making them duck is so much fun that after the tenth close pass we make ourselves land as we find we are becoming a little enthusiastic and it will all end in tears ...best way to get a sensation of speed on a HG tho...gread vid keep em coming..
Actually, I would say I had a total of less than 1 hour of footage to work with. These guys just play THAT hard. I wish I had more footage, I had to use a little bit of filler.
Joe you and the gang rock! Leif here and wow great moves and footage brother. Hope to see you around the fort sometime soon~

climb to about 1000 ft unclip your harness from the glider, freefall then open your reserve parachute.

We need someone to make a low pass over the sea, dipping a finger, and making it back to the hang for more flying.

Now that just rocks. You have awesome videos out there. You have just reminded me of how boring airtowing on flat lands can be. I need a ridge ;)

Great camera work, really well edited. You must have had hours of video to work from. Well done.
Yes, zzzz until you see those dangly things on an inland ridge when it's hot & thermic with a full collapse. They've got bigger balls than me.
