[JuventusVentus]

[pegasuswa]

yeahhhhhhhhhh man thts sickkkkkkkk the first thing i thought was,shit thats like mozzi, nice workk man u had a chance too go xc frm there?

[erlendmc]

@pegasuswa Thanks :) Is it Matty?!! How are you? Haven't seen you in years! Yes this place is so nice! No one is using it though... Mossy park has been nice exercise for this spot as I find this spot a bit more difficult. I haven't gone xc from it yet as I only had the acro glider. However, I just got a XC glider and I will try to go xc from this spot next spring:D:D Whats the news in Oz?

[timpent]

Great video and great glider control!

[Affald]

Small is BIG! Did you topland also? that would be very top of the end ;)

[erlendmc]

I intended to topland, but my mom was stressing on the balcony giving me instructions of how to do it.....It was too annoying so I gained more altitude and glided off to a bottom landing 1 km into the bay:D Unfortunately the battery was dead at this stage....it would have been a funny clip where I am flying between the buildings trying to topland with her loud comments in the background:D

[airwalla]

congrats,great feeling to be first and to have ur skills and knowledge confirmed...

[downteamchallenge]

Gud så gudd.

[erlendmc]

"gudd times":)

[teddyhill2]

Stilig !

[airwalla]

nice vid,where u the 1. who flew that hill?

[erlendmc]

Thanks:) Yes, the first one to take off from the hill. One guy pased over this hill on a XC though. I got two flights on it so far.

[erlendmc]

It took me several years to be confident that I would get lift after takeoff. Mosman Park flying in Western Australia gave me the confidence I needed to fly this place. I had been groundhandeling the wing several times in the garden prior to this day and I thought it was just going to be another day where the wind wasnt feeling right :S I was groundhandeling for about 5 minutes before I got the lift I wanted. The garden has cliff just in front of the launch, which makes the wind tricky.

[erlendmc]

This is the only bottom landing option and you need lift to get there. My camera battery was dead by the time I landed unfortunately.

[erlendmc]

hehe, The landing you see on the right side is closed off due to the oil tanks. They got strong security...cameras and barbed wire... I tried to land where I took off, but my mom was there trying to tell me how to do it so I flew away to the left ( into the bay) where there is a pretty good landing next to the ocean.

[FlyEnvy]

where did you land?? :-D

[dj4hill]

nice work, lovely to see your site being flown! cheers, David

[cra640]

Awesome Erlend! Your own personal Mossy Park only better

[ozonemantra]

syns jeg kan skimte en liten landingsplass nede på kaien der ;-)

[camillabjordal]

Hææææærlig!
