Rio for Real! Fly with a bird

[MagicBiscuitShow]

INCREDIBLE!!! Nice animal-human spirit bond.

I have a commercial pilot license ... but this looks as if it would be a whole 'nuther hoot.

Nice videography, too. Cheers, from flat-land Florida

[docomoface]

I just saw a video of a russian man get tangled up with an eagle while skydiving.... hope the hawks don't get tangled up in the lines as well...

[crosswind76]

love the MUSIC too. great combo with flying hawk along your side :)

[877854]

Are these domesticated birds or wild ones?

[marquisartistic1]

Where was this video made? Beautiful place.

[kww117]

@marquisartistic1 This is in San Diego, CA at the Torrey Pines Gliderport. A beautiful place to go and just watch these guys float over the cliffs and the Pacific. I live in San Diego and need to go there more often since I take its beauty for granted!

[aSkyDaughter]

Is it illegal then, due to the copyright notice above, to share this video with friends? It includes the word "post" so therefore I may not share and post this to my FB page? Seems a shame that that would not be allowed since it is so beautiful.

[LiteTouchFilms]

@aSkyDaughter You can absolutely link to or embed this video. Sorry for the confusion. I'm going to clear that up in the notes. Thanks for pointing it out.

[SweetACAforever]

MUSIC!!!!!????

[WyomingAnne]

am part of an education program at the BBHC museum in Cody, Wyoming, and have learned to be a bird handler for our programs. I love just standing around with a bird on my glove. This is WAY cool!!!!

[gavfletcher1]

I gave my dog a biscuit on my skateboard the other day

[XshadowX0eXeSe]

whats inside these huge backpacks if it aint the parachute?

[LiteTouchFilms]

@XshadowX0eXeSe The "huge backpacks" are actually padding to protect the pilot in case of a mishap during launch or landing. There's rarely an issue but the padding is way better than landing hard on your butt and can save you from getting a sore back or a broken tail bone etc.

[sidun321]

great video .... this is freedom!! I'm from Brazil and I love paragliding ... Congratulations ... one day I'll fly paragliding!! my dream!

[KrankenWelpen]

All of my childhood dreams realized right there. Strange childhood...beautiful video. Where do I sign up?

[Roefeltje]

Great stuff. Wish I could do something like that. And since a got a Harris Hawk allready the only thing left for me to do is to start paragliding ;-). Looks more difficult than training a hawk...

[LiteTouchFilms]

@Roefeltje Paragliding is easy. Give it a try!

[Flyfever]

Brilliant video. Looks amazing. The Tandem Pilot at 1.31 looks more intrested in posing for the camera than the Bird of Prey!!!! Great video.

[PinkLederhosen]

Thank you for sharing such an inspiring and pure experience with us!

[Belemcontact]

[Spider001PL]

[frapfreshapproach]

I just bought the song from CD Baby! :) Awesome!

[ViniKingDs]

Thank you for the song mister!!

U should come to Rio de Janeiro and do that stuff here would be very nice!!

see ya

[LiteTouchFilms]

Music is now available! See the description above. Thanks to all who encouraged us to get it up there.

[erinlassley]

@LiteTouchFilms I just downloaded it and jamming to it as I type this. GREAT SONG! Are there more songs from this collection available? Who is the person who composed it? Do they have a portfolio of music we can access?

[MrCMFields]

How could anyone not like this video?? It's fantastic! Those of us sitting at our computers watching it are jealous. Don't get why 35 people disliked it - they must just look for something to put down, but this is a great video and no way, no how can they put it down. Thanks for sharing!

[helljason]

eagle: yay free ride... voeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[LynchByInch]

Imagine how it would feel to just lay back in the air like that, with your badass hawk right next to you.

[dabrdman]

Great video! I really want to do falconry but is is illegal in Australia :( but I understand why. I am making a video right now to show people that birds are a magnificent animals and try show people that they shouldn't be breeding over 5000 pheasants each year for the sole reason of game shooting them!

[shiftmeister]

Lovely vid.

[jirkal70]

Very nice.:-)

[EGRJ]

Like a boss.

[BleachRush]

Added to things to do before 30

[xxxElegatorxxx]

Birds are such lovely creatures! How wonderful to share flying with a feathered friend.

[celnxu]

cool



[w15h0na5tar]

This just made the top of my bucket list

[LiteTouchFilms]

About the music. Everyone has been asking about it. So we're going to make it available. It's going to take some time to set up. Give us a week and check back. Thanks for your patience.

[frapfreshapproach]

@LiteTouchFilms Can't wait for the song! Thank you!

[erinlassley]

@LiteTouchFilms Okay it's been a week now. I'm checking back. What's the word? Thanks!

[bkm72]

....and how could ANYONE give this a thumbs down? What kind of miserable existence are they living in?.

[bkm72]

"So what do you do for fun?" -- Oh, you know. Usual stuff. Mow the yard, Bar-b-Que cheese burgers............Fly around with my fkn PET HAWK...

[UkraineStar77]

@bkm72 I laughed so hard about that ! :D made my day !

[houstonfly]

Song is beautiful

[houstonfly]

Song is beautiful

[erinlassley]

Anyone notice the individual feathers on each wing that spring up when the bird comes in for a landing at 1:30 to 1:31? Pretty cool to pause and look at.

[zemmfried]

Awesome !!! What is the music?

[HausUlv]

This is just awesome!!!

[erinlassley]

What is this music?

[bkm72]

@erinlassley ....I tried to use Shazaam to identify the song, but it doesn't recognize it. It must be a stock song that comes with video editing software.

[CatsbyG]

I love it. I love it. I love it. Thank you.

[sonomaphotos]

That is absolutely incredible. You can't get much closer to nature then that, you and your friend, including the birds are beautiful. I love nature, as you can see on

some of my videos on YouTube under sonomaphotos. Thanks so much for this

amazing piece of video. Larry Flagg

[sonomaphotos]

That is incredible. You can't get much closer to nature then this, you and your birds are beautiful. Sonoma Photos, Larry Flagg.

[erinlassley]

Absolutely amazing video! Watching the raw skills of a bird in flight is nothing short of miraculous and a testament to God's intelligence!

[susitusi]

Great video! desperately need the name of this background music, any one?

[bgtocak]

22 dislikers are ZOO likers!

[floralia57]

I dream to do the same trip, flying like a birds and see the world fron above

It's short but beautiful like as the music

[toslis1]

Very beautiful video thanks for Hawk and pilots . :-)

[MuscleMaxZ1]

stunning video, wow. what is the background music???

[modestmou5e]

0:55 I thought the bird was just gonna claw the parachute and take off lol

[roterrudi]

Suuuuper!!!

[mistervoice20]

[07ninja071]

[fredstjeandebraye]

Que du reve bravo avec une musique magique

[JeseSLU]

I have the weirdest boner right now

[mhaze210]

This is just a quick reminder of how theres so much more to Life besides work and making $. I feel like if somebody suffering from depression tried this, it would be their cure.

Just watching this almost makes me choke up a little. Birds are beautiful and its so cool to see them interact with humans this way.

Although they are probably thinking "haha look at these humans thinking they can fly!" I bet when they land and after they have some food, they think "this is magical!"

[kayakfrog]

How awesome is that? Dammmm I cant believe that some people do not like this. They should not even be able to watch this videos. Anyway, that was beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[patchakoskaylee]

Yay! Go Kirk!

[nicolas251091]

What is the name the song?

[s3pukku]

@nicolas251091 im interested in that too

[r22accipiter]

as a Harris' falconer and a helicopter pilot, I know the bird's love this!!!!!

[DanielCommercon]

Très jolie vidéo. J'adore les rapaces et leurs capacités à chasser. J'aime aussi les félins, étant de signe du lion en astrologie mdr!

[MOTat18]

[nurblurpfff]

"I should've bought a falcon."

-state farm commercial

[OwnageButtKickers]

as much as i want to watch this, i can't im getting dizzy

[BrickCookies]

awesome.

[floweryolk]

I WANNA DO THAT ! 

[SquirrelFromGradLife]

they also train hawks and falcons with kites and lures up to several thousand feet.. very impressive to spectate..

saw it once where a falcon was hovering above the kite and lure and the lure was remotely dropped and the falcon swooped down and caught the the lure in the air.. amazing

[hoboninjas]

this reminds me of the movie, Fly Away Home, where a father and his daughter fly some small airplanes to guide a group of orphaned geese back south for winter.

[cruzjuvenal01]

@hoboninjas I remember that I think they played it alot back then on abc family or disney channel or something

[Krowzdawn]
