A One-Footed Landing

[jacoherbst]

very good landing, pinkfoot! I love the narration and the 3d graphics.

[ppawelppawel]

That's the spirit! Mad narrating skills btw.

[NMERider]

@ppawelppawel Thanks! Here's my one-footed launch: /watch?v=XumY3BtqpIg

Reminds me of Chris Wills winning first championship on one-foot landing.

[NMERider]

@rbonvent That was a pretty funny video! Your friend Mestre has style.

Really entertaining Jon...nothing can stop us.....not even a broken toe!!

[NMERider]

@35394691 Thank you JP!

[dregerclock]

broken landing gear and he is still out there. Don't hurt yourself again! ;-)

[NMERider]

@dregerclock Yikes! I sure hope not. I bought a big floater of a glider to make landings fingertip.

[dregerclock]

@NMERider That was a sweet touchdown! Never seen a one footed landing before!

[NMERider]

@dregerclock It's actually very good practice in general. Also, when flying cross country, we made pick a field that turns out to have hidden debris and it may be necessary to land very gingerly.

[adamp]

Can't keep him out of the air even with half the landing gear missing. Nice.

[NMERider]

@adamp There are thermals to be tended to mate! It's a necessary job and someone's got to pay them mind or they don't keep coming 'round. ;-)

[airmanbooker]

That's hardcore!

[NMERider]

@airmanbooker Indeed!

[altairtime]

Yeah! Right on the grass. How lucky you were for someone else to be filming that!!!

[NMERider]

@altairtime Very lucky. It was our club's neighbor's first time visiting our LZ in 27 years! Too bad I left the keel cam off. Got sidetracked when I zipped into my harness and left my gloves in the boot. Had to get all the way out and back in which threw off my routine.

[flyhghgy]

Well done!

[NMERider]

@flyhghgy Thanks!

[pdutube]

Somebody's ready for that Red Bull sponsorship!

[NMERider]

@pdutube ROTFLOL!

[squeebo247]

Good landing! Next time, the one armed flare.

[NMERider]

@squeebo247 Oh yeah!

[floris1200]

That was a very nice landing !

[NMERider]

@floris1200 Thanks! 

[menamiketrx]

I will practice this technique, just in case that one of my legs fall off during flight.

[NMERider]

@menamiketrx It's also useful if one leg falls asleep and/or gets Restless Leg Syndrome then wanders off in the air. Of course, you may want to stay airborne and hunt for the errant leg rather than land short, so to speak.

[NMERider]

@shess0501 If I ever get really good, I'll land w/ one leg still inside the harness. :-)

[deslightfly]

Brilliant!

[NMERider]

@deslightfly Thanks & enjoy!

[CraigRidley1]

2:17 looked scary for a second.cant imagine it being easy to land with a plaster cast on, nice job.

[NMERider]

@CraigRidley1 It's actually a soft cast and I can still flex my ankle pretty good. Otherwise I never would have considered flying. I just needed to keep the big toe immobilized.
