just makes me groundhandle more n more its great fun,backwards forwards up down side to side .control like this on the ground = same control high in the sky!respect pete wales uk
backwards is great when you have a choice in the matter... it looks like it was just blowing too hard that day though (since it took a second person hanging on the pilots legs to make forward progress). And that was down on the bench, imagine how hard it was blowing (and how fast he would have been going backwards) had he benched up!
I know it's an old PG, old video, and I didn't at all mean to take away from the pilots skill... I was just making an observation...
notice the prison down the mountain lol i bet those prisoners where begging for them to land there so they could scape :)

Great concept for painting your helmet! :)
I guess you didn't know that white eagle on red background is a Poland crest/shield.

definitely some neat stuff, but the guy spent more time going backwards than going forwards... kinda makes me glad I fly a hang glider ;-)

Why do you feel that going forward is the only thing you can do when flying?, think out of the box.

Looks to me like the video just shows couple of guys having a great time fooling around with some great control on an old-school glider!
Most of the backwards flying looks to be intended. Nothing worse than seeing a beginner going backwards on a windy day towards a barbed fence!
I think most of the hanging on was just for fun.
