Why has'nt this sport become recognised as a viable alternative to down hill skiing, without the snow? I would love to compete in this aspect of hang gliding!

Oh! The sound of the gliders is music enough. Thanks for posting!

[CLayaway1]

I agree bigtime. I hate it when they put loud music over top it.

Only way to make this better is barefoot and no helmet!

Or one of those Euro-police sirens on your ship. DEE DOO DEE DOO dee doo dee dooooo.

I don't condone flying dangerously, but damned he pushes the limits, and it is so thrilling to watch. Total fusion of man and machine. He'd probably be more at home in a bat-suit though :)

[hangman360]

I agree. I have a special place in my heart for those who have little disregard for their own well-being.

[obooth]

Is that John "Beat up" Smith of New Zealand?

[hangman360]

Indeed

[hangman360]

Indeed.

I had the honor of helping with the organization of this event. It was something incredible for me. Nice to see this video!

Nice one Murray Rose (father of speed gliding)

[wrdturkey]

Do you know what the fastest speed was?

[TraderTurok]

This was the fasted speedgliding course ever run in the world. I was the winner of this event and I taped a GPS inside my wing to record the speeds. My top speed (horizontal) was 103mph. If you do the math for the glide angle, I was at something like 110mph at the fastest. At the point this video was taken (I'm the third glider to pass in the video) my ground speed was around 85.

did you teach yourself how to fly, or did you go to a school?
