@Shtrimpu Yes, chasing us paragliding became her favourite sport - she was ten years old then, pretty old for a dalmation but she lasted another six years before cancer took her and got fitter through most of that time. You can spot her in most of my earlier videos. I now have a malamute who is even more keen to fly, considering getting him a harness. Thanks for the comment!
yes it is, an ex-school wing from greendragons paragliding. I flew many hours on this wing and was able to achieve cloudbase as easily as many more modern wings. It was slower than most modern wings but only because of the larger number of lines increasing drag so would be the first wing on the hill going back when conditions picked up. Other than that it just goes to prove the quality of design and construction of Edel Space DHV 1/2
That is one old wing right?It's fly well, and make u think if all the "tech" behind new one is worth so much money.Maybe the pilot worth more, to drink a lot of beer and learn to balance himsrlf in such turbulent conditions. ;-)
You're Right. My 1st wing was a DHV2 Nova Axon 2gether with the Force harness in the vid, which proved a lively combo. Steve kept nagging 4 a go but it was far too dangerous for a complete novice. The Space proved to be a very safe wing - I've never had any sort of collapse or tuck in flight, even in the strongest turbulent conditions. Although it's a little slower than most modern wings I never had any problem gaining height and have been at the top of the stack with the best of them on it!
the dog is like:"damn!" "let me try it let me try it"

I had a groundhandling session too with this glider!
Nice video, Mj. TOM! ;)

I've been learning with the same wing. Only different color, but the model is same. One of the best wings to be the first ones.
