What did you do today?

[philipp1057]

einfach geile landschaft



[davidswelt]

Love it - my old hill, and even my choice of glider!

[PaulQuilliam1]

Awesome.

[kleeworld]

Very well done, nice video & editing! Respect for your pilot skills, you make it look easy! Best regards from a German soaring pilot trainee.

[glidingISpassion]

Very cool!



[ChielRay]

Fantastic quality and music choice!!

Amazing!

I also glide but in the Dutch flat land :D

Its great but this looks like a dream for every glider pilot!!

[Balleka]

@ChielRay Thanks dude, the Dutch coastal sand dune soaring looks awesome, have you tried that?

[ChielRay]

@Balleka Yes I did actually. Last year I went soaring on Ameland one of the islands and thats really amazing!! So yes I tried it!

[termikk]

fantastic, now I want to fly!

[fm08avril]

that dude at 5:21 hahaha :D

[LethalHobo]

I tried this at home and now my body is spread over a quarter mile in microsoft flight simulator.

Lesson: 8h bottle to the throttle. Er... what do glider pilots say instead of bottle to throttle?

[LethalHobo]

I may underestimate the hidden capabilities of man/consciousness, but I'm pretty sure after having this canadian micro brew, being a licensed power jerk, and an unlicensed glider pilot from the flatlands, I would splatter myself along that ridge.

[Elektrikthomas]

Amazing video!

[IIproductionsII]

One word, jealousy.

[SoaringAwayFromItAll]

Hi, what a great video - a usefull medicine against the winter blues. Unfortunately several of your videos are locked due to content issues. This summer my son and I made our GPL, and now we are really addicted - suffering winter withdrawal syndrome. We are looking forward to April '11, soaring in La Motte du Caire for two weeks.

Keep on posting!

[flybazman]

Every one a glide approach too. Nice one.

[Jochemp1988]

Very very nice video Jaeschke! :) Very good music choice too ^^

Keep up the good work, really enjoy watching it.

[hanymgirgis]

cool

[hanymgirgis]

cooool

[novocaine87NL]

Best gliding video i've seen. Would it be okay if our Student Gliding club used it for promoting the sport? If so, could you maybe upload it anywhere and mail me the link?

[Abeastlypie]

Did you takeoff with a winch or was there a towplane?

[FK9Crew]

@Abeastlypie

winch, the angle is too steep for a towplane-takeoff.

and you can see the parachute of the winchrope on the left side

at 0:10.

[martinztti]

Hi ! nice video !

What kind of camera you have! Im planning to get one for my glider !!

Congrats !

[MSFSX94]

Beautiful video!

Love the part when flying formation!

[roelesch]

Cool!

Can you show some pictures of how you attached the Contour to your glider? I'm pondering how to place mine for some aerobatic action.

[frankhiemstra]

I love Cirrae! great movie! :)

[sealalula]

Beautiful !

[JD7irrus]

Yours looks nice but I'd rather have that red-nosed Cirrus in the middle.

[Balleka]

@JD7irrus All Cirrae are cool, ..........but 477 is AWESOME!

[andrewmckay99uk]

@Balleka I shouldn't have watched this....in 8 minutes this video shows all that is best about soaring in a glider..having not flown for several years it makes me want to get back into one and all the chuffing around between good flights seems worth it....better check how my Stemme 10 fund is coming along!

[kob27]

Great video, beautiful! I love this remix of "we are the people" can you please write the full name of this song? I google it but i did not found this song with duration of 8:17 minutes. Thank you.

[Balleka]

@kob27 Thanks Kob the song is We Are the People (The Shapeshifters Vocal Remix - UK Edit) by Empire of the Sun It's on the Ministry of Sound The Annual 2010 (itunes)

[parallelcow]

@Balleka Ministry of sound is gold for flying vids :)

[rowekmr]

Excellent video!!! I learned to fly in gliders way back (in a S-22E). How long is your typical flight and do you always make it back to the starting point?

[philippebarreto]

just great! only ones who fly know the feeling

[Almost150]

Lovely, awesome scenery, brilliant flying, wonderful visuals of the other gliders and great music. Wow I need to try a bit of flying without a prop on the sharp end :)

[Qminator]

Drool....

[vishnaborg]

Oh, how I wish I could go gliding. Unfortunately all I have is Flight Sim.

[sk16all]

I could watch this all day!

[patryk7771]

This is a pure essence of flying... Simply a stunning video !

You must be famous in Portmoak :D

Btw is that PZL Jantar at 4:05?

At 4:25 PZL Junior ?

[Balleka]

@patryk7771 Thanks dude glad you liked it, definitely not famous, the gliders are ASW 20L at 4:25 and a trio of Cirrus at 4:25

[FLYBYpictures]

amazing! Well what did I do today?

I went gliding too, but in a other Glider (ASK-23) =) I know... It`s a piece of shit in compare with your ASH-25 =).

And yes I didn`t fly as near to the ground as you did.......

Great vid

[danj611]

Nice work on all counts. Guess I kept out of your way  :)

[MPCapricorn]

Beautiful video, just pure magic! I love to watch you waving trough the air just like a feather, without the power of an engine. It's like leaving physics behind and breaking free...

Great view of the landscape!

[lshanermi]

My favorite parts are when you are chasing your own shadow. :-)

[lshanermi]

Nice! Is that multiple flights, or did you buy multiple Contour HD's by now? :-)

[blizzue]

I want to do that.

[ual744]

I flew today :)

[Doctor461985]

great video! it is a perfect show !!!

[x23udo]

5:23 OMG :)

Beautiful video !

[Fokker1915]

Great video and ridge soaring

Jim F CFIG

[denverJPUE]

What did I do today? Well compared to what you did.....nothing....

Nice video keep it up!

[woodytfc]

stunning what an outstanding video

[martinfreye]

Very nice video, well done, thanks

[jparncutt]

Excellent video! I am also using Contour HD (1080i) as well as a gopro hd (1080P)

I am thinking of upgrading the Contour to the 1080P (Full HD) version which one are you using?

Cheers

John

[Ironpapa007]

Hey Dude! Glad to see you out there having some fun! That is how we are suppose to Fly! Best of luck out there Matt. Regards JJH

[Jurgik]

Empire of the sun <3 amazing video dude.

[k1mgy]

WOW!!!

[BlackLukeS]

Good to see you flying!

What's the name of the song?

[Abeastlypie]

@BlackLukeS Read the fucking descriptions, moron:

" We Are The People" by Empire of the Sun"

[Jurgik]

@Abeastlypie its the shapeshifters vocal remix if anyone wants to know :)

[hrford]

lol @ 02:50 you need your brakes open to match the performance of the wooden craft! Your vids get more inspiring every time Matt :D Big cheesy grins all round eh?

[zibirogenbrot]

nice video,awesome landscape,brilliant musik..Thanks..

[immerrocknroll]

Thanks for a new upload ... so wonderful!

[gustavo87467357]

what pushes the plane up? normallly it's a tow plane but, what did it? i didn't see it

[muggles1985]

@gustavo87467357

The gliders were winch launched - cheaper and more fun :D

[macktheinterloper]

Mesmerizing, as always. Also, as already mentioned, good music choice for this particular video. While I'm no expert on actual flying (just your run of the mill armchair simmer), that was some pretty damn awesome manouvering there! Thanks for yet another awesome video, keep them coming :)

[Saguaro24]

Great video. Nice music choice.

[CivilAviation1]

awesome video balleka, you can fly verry well, i really like the overflight at 7:17 favourite and tumbs up

[sidharth0384]

Wow Awesome, Hey isn't it scary when you fly close to the ground @ reasonably high speeds.

[lixbeyond]

WOW Truley Amazing! :)

[avnavcgm]

WOW. just WOW.

[lavalleer]

nice job good video whith my cafe this morning good............... i love the music .....

[Jojoairbus]

I did the same today! ;D For about 2 hours I flew with an ASK-21 over here in south Germany. It was awesome, perfect view, cloudless sky and much thermal plus a sunburn. xD Love to fly with gliders!

[jetfighter2011]

@Jojoairbus About how much per hour do they cost? I'm looking into it, I'd like to see how it compares to flying c172s.

[muggles1985]

@jetfighter2011 At our club it's 35p per minute, which is £21.00 per hour. That includes instruction in the two-seaters
