Hey skydog, you had total control on that entire run, I see that you were just havin fun sandsurfing...not unlike many pilots ...say in places like Playa etc., some folks just gotta complain or they aren't happy or content.
Tell me; would you intentionally land any aircraft ([powered ot otherwise) downwind? Consequences. It never fails to amaze me how many self-incriminating videos get posted on You Tube showing quite clearly how stupid people can be whe it comes to making an ass of themselves.
Hey Mr serious, the point of the flight and the clip was to make an ass of myself! This is not an instructional video on how to land a paraglider properly, it is just a bit of fun at the beach. I think after 20 years and 4000+ hours of paragliding I can choose to land how I like!
Did something similar once, unintentionally: I was setting up over a pasture in Jalisco, on final....then I noticed the BULL!, made a quick turn and tried to make it over the fence...didn't get over it, didn't hit it...but pounded in at 40kph! ouch...at least the bull didn't gore me.
yep, bulls look just like cows from the air, I dived over a fence once to escape an angry bull - lucky for me it didn't run straight through the fence.
paragliding sports a fairly expensive but I'd love to be able to try to feel how this sport because of limited funds but I can not buy the equipment may have colleagues there who care about the development of paragliding seems willing to provide equipment to me for I learned I would be happy to and perhaps we can develop tourism as a business place I hereby submit my application at the same time.
