incredible video.. ty for posting.. i think this video was so amazing to me because i am in love with the area.. the owens valley and the sierras alike!.. ty again!
We did exactly the same flight on our dual glider back in 1997, when John R. used to supervise the site (is he still there?). I had about 1500 hours on hangliders by that time.
I logged about 100 hours before coming to Owens. I am still very cautious about cross country hanggliding. Not like most of my fly buddies, they went dozens or even hundred miles far, I chose to fly safe and land in the airport.
@smilingglider You must be a NASCAR fan...LOL Most people favor a side. Everybody points to the coriolis effect, but I think thats BS. I just try to turn towards lift! ;) And nice vid lijianliu

I actually did few. But I am not used to left turns. I may start thermaling in left turn, but I will usually manage to turn to right :)

You are right men! Once turbulence tried him to turn left but he refused, lol.

@smilingglider Unlike you who never even post a single video...I bet you turn left all the time.
