[Chevron7engage]

Whoops! Never mind, I see the website.  Mahalo :)

[88hawaii]

Mention that you're a motorcyclist, and you've ridden with me. Steve is extending a 50% off to all my motorcycling associates.

[MastaMag]

Lol, towing in the backseat talking in the cellphone :)

[boysinblack]

looks like LOTS OF FUN!

[ice9fetus81]

haha.chipmunks!!!

[tallhunter1]

Wow, i was watching this great video, and only 7 minutes into it i found out it's you 88 hawaii. I have seen at least 200 of your videos. Thanks the most for this one.

[hyuugamoto]

Lol squirrel voices after speed-up.

[yellowajah]

He didn't do a tailslide (like a stall turn, but instead of kicking in some rudder and doing a pivot, you slide backwards and then you flick back onto the nose) $200 for 20 mins? just get your own rating... Thats what im doing and im just 18

[duckpk10]

how does he cotrol it that well from the back

[nalli77]

Outstanding man.

[mini7donkey]

damnit i wanted to see more! I used to live in waikiki. anyways nice videos!

[Brasillie]

how do they control the plane with no pilot

[88hawaii]

The pilot sits behind me.

[Micheal021070]

why does there seem to be a problem with the audio??? it sounds as if at the start, there is a speed problem with the recording as if they have swallowed helium making them sound like children/chipmunks

[tmonkeypunch]

Oh dude, that is so awesome... I'll be doing avionics in the future, so this is awesome! Man, but $200 for 20 minutes? That's a fortune. Unless I get employeed by Boeing.

[mitch449]

I am so sorry but I would have been swatting that instructor in the head if he rolled me or buzzed a ridge one more time LMAO!!!

[mitch449]

I would like to stay level when flying LOL....the rolls and being upside down I would have being blowing my chow LOL!!!

[vxenzoxv]

thats crazy! A glider....

Looks like lots of fun, and a lot of money too? :P

[88hawaii]

$200 for 20 minutes. If you mention YouTube and my name, Robert, he'll extend a 50% discount. So it's $100 for 20 minutes.

[mitch449]

Awesome video !!!!!! why do you sound like a Munckin?

Mitch :)

[88hawaii]

hahaha.. I was trying to fast forward and skip the boring parts, and get to the action.

[mitch449]

Thanks for the info. I thought you were on helium LOL. This really looks like fun. I thought of going parasailing but this looks safer !!!!!

Mitch :)

[RoadRashBurn]

HAHA, Me to man. I was like "Look it is the chipmonks".

[MYNARUALGA]

Wow feels like I am there!

[MacHamish]

Cool!

[nothernames12366]

awesome. im very jealous

[Edward256]

You know, that stick between his legs looks SO wrong. ;p

[ice9fetus81]

hahaha!!!!LOL!!!

[captainfury2007]

Thats incredible. I flew in a puddle jumper around the skyline of Seattle, but nothing like what you experienced. Truly amazing.

[kawiz750]

Nice!

Im lucky to have a dad who's an aerobatic instructor and your absolutely right about it being better than a rollercoaster ride. The stall turn or Hammerhead turn is my favourite... Totally quiet at the top of the turn and then feeling the rush while accelerating... niiiice :-)

[skyline44512]

wait if it isnt powered how does it stay in the air so long and climb?

[88hawaii]

Thermals are air between the ocean and mountain. The hot air rises when the ocean air hits the land mass. It pushes the glider higher & higher. You can fly up there indefinitely because of this effect.

[skyline44512]

haha it looks really strange with that "object" jerking around between your legs.

[88hawaii]

Makes a lot of guys uncomfortable, I know. hahaha

[Squats200]

Rather u than me, make me wanna puke just watching it!

[kourosh22]

really great i enjoyed thanks

[mustangskid]

thats so cool

[CherenkovBlu3]

lmao "i love it up hear its so quiet and....WOOO WE'RE GOING STRAIGHT DOWN"

[diaspar77]

I visited Steve whilst on holiday a couple of weeks ago, and he gave me a quick fling in the fox: Let me fly the aerotow, and then taught me how to fly loops. Lotsa fun, and snap rolls are awesome! Also did some hundred knot ridge running at low altitude - the fox is a lovely flying machine, amazing roll authority for a glider. The folks there were real friendly, and I had a great time. Fantastic!

[88hawaii]

I'm really glad you got to meet Steve! Did you see the video first, or did you take a ride before seeing the video? I am wondering if you mentioned my video up on youtube...

[diaspar77]

As it turns out, I saw the video first, between booking my holiday and going. So I just included half a day in my plans to go and see him. I also spent half a day ridge running in one of the old schweizers - the instructor I had there was happy to clear me for solo flying, but I didn't really feel I had enough aerotow experience to take him up on it. And no ... silly me, I didn't mention the video. DOH!

[mikki12358]

my brother is only 19 and he has finnished his pilot lessons!! but hes rich aswell:( haha

[ibeam06]

that was pretty cool

[letard77777777]

im learning to fly at the moment. gliders are just unreal in how quit and smooth(s) evey thing is. i have only done aerobatics in an powered aircraft = cessna 152 aerobat. it can only do basic stuff but stall turns are just the best, how evey thing is weight less. i might learn to fly a glider after i get my pilots licence. as some one said you just cant say how amazing they are. this is one of the things you HAVE to do at least once in your life.

[Miri84]

:) Nice ride!!This Fox is just so quick in doing the rolls.

[ockteby]

Thanks for the ride.

[arr0w756]

The ultimate! That is so sinfully sweet! I have always wanted to do this... Came close once. And the plane we were going up in had trouble! :(

[djdevo]

That was SO cool... I hope the rest is posted as a video reply...

[swedishvolvo]

Haha scary and fun. I can hear the stall warning going off almost the whole video.

[nc29biker]

Very good & you were so calm.

[Trizik]

looks really fun

[Koss42]

Words can not describe powerless flight. Going along for a ride in a f-4 is fun, but Ive always wanted to get inside an acrobatic glider. Amazing! Thank you for letting me see your experience.

[MrJohannVegas]

I had the oppurtunity to go up in a Grob K13 when I was out in Michigan, and the stall turns and knife edges were simple amazing...Isn't powerless flight amazing?

[RideYourRide]

lol...on the way up the pilot answers his cell phone.

[jodoe]

great video dude that looks like so much fun

[michaelhypno]

hay robart that was really Great

[dbauernf]

[oooALICEooo]

[LARC0]

[bpmhawaii]

Great footage. How'd ya mount your camera?

[88hawaii]

There's a camera mount on the headrest. It was in the previous video.

[MrMax89]

Unreal, that is sooo coool, thanks for sharing that Robert.

[oooALICEooo]

[yahpete]

well done rob

[Squeeby]

Your vids are great Robert but this is fantastic. Especially love the mouse voices lol. But yeh that looks like killer fun.

[NarlyZX12]
