Bad hang glider loop

Skøre nordmænd!!

Wow, That looked really awesome and I was wondering where the "bad loop" was exactly.....until I saw your face that is. That last loop was kinda messy so I guess it was there that you mashed your face. I could say practice makes perfect too, but lets face it, you're already pretty damn good.

[barzoman2]

Is this loop could break wings while it is up in sky ?

[xstonnerx]

the fuck happen to you!

[ElroyHarvey]

Did you have the visor open to start with or did it some how get opened during the incident?

Lucky as has been said you didn't get KO but practice makes perfect :)

[scoppit]

@ElroyHarvey The visor was open to start with :)

[cirds1]

how in the shit did u smash ur face while wearing a helmet with a face visser xD

[drbobbeattie]

That looked like it was close to breaking the glider.

NOT bad!

[acrazedmaniac]

a place where ive been climbing for about 28yrs now (big wall), the ravens cant wait for spring and when i come back, to show me their new tricks they learned over the 'winter'. Many involve loops and being smooth, and of course..no flapping the wings!

[jvill1803]

holy shit, i now know what im going to do with the rest of my life. the nose part scared me. but i was glad you didnt get KO'd. Fly High bro!

[FSXISCOOL]

Glad it was nothing serious..you have more bottle than me for even attempting a loop!....i know these things look good and impressive but is the risk really worth just a loop?..imagine if you were knocked out?...you only get one life bro...buzzards and eagles dont loop...why do we need to?...not my say in what u do..but take care man!...thanks for the video...

[tontar]

@FSXISCOOL Maybe you don't see many eagles flying, eh? Eagles and ravens are doing loops and rolls all the time at our flying site. Besides, people that learn aero progressively and have a knack for it don't do it just to show off, and they aren't taking extreme risks. Like any sport, practice, and attention to detail and technique can provide much more reward than risk. Feel free to check up on my videos as well.

where was the bad loop? he lost a lot of height in each loop and they could have been more tighter but still landed.

[MaxxDiver]

wt was the accident? why the bleeding ?

[rbonvent]

scoppit nice loops =] ballsy fuck hehehe

question man where did you hit your face? and how did it happen? cheer keep up the cool flying

[scoppit]

The bottombar hit me over the nose and the eye. I think I got a small cut over the eye and my nose was of course bleeding. It happened because I pulled up to hard for the loops. Gotta be very gentle on the moves.... Fly hard! =P

[tontar]

Ah, got to be easier on the pull ups. Once the glider starts to pull up, resist the bar pressure and it will be lots smoother and with less load. Nice way to test for structural failure, though! Glad it came out intact! Aaron

[MastaMag]

Hehe, snacka om att pressa hårt! :D

[scoppit]

Kjøra på!!! =D

[litjfaan]

auch..

[scoppit]

Det gikk så fint så ;)

[glendeco]

So glad you did not get knocked unconsious.Now that would be bad.Reminds me of the first double jump i did on my dirtbike, only i split my chin, and pulled it off to the cheers of my buddies.Fly safe brother.

[bmx69bmx1]

@glendeco LOL...reminds me of the first time i pulled a double on your mom....Video of the double on the bike?

[glendeco]

@bmx69bmx1 Hey bro, just ask a pilot about HG don't be scared little feller.

[bmx69bmx1]

@glendeco lol....Just bought a house in montrose/cimarron area colorado....for the sole purpose of getting into HG...well...and a government job transfer...HG is just the icing on the cake. Little feller? LOL.....I'm 6'3" 220 lbs at 4% bodyfat.......I watched your HG videos...your the little fella compared to me.---Retired Army Combat Veteran.......several skydives under my belt....pretty sure HG isn't gonna scare me......

[glendeco]

@bmx69bmx1 TMI man. OK I will play, after reading your post, It appears you should add insecure with stalker issues on your list little feller.

[bmx69bmx1]

@glendeco Lol....i stalked your mom until she started giving it up to full time....I will be going to HG school in draper very soon....maybe i will see ya there and we will see who the "little feller" is......I just think it's funny when people make claims about doing rad shit with no proof.....surely you meant just a double jump as in going over a double with no tabletop in the middle....i grew up on dirtbikes and bmx...still ride bmx alot.....i have a video of me doing a flip on bmx in iraq

[bmx69bmx1]

@glendeco search "paducah skatepark" my flip video is in there titled.."paducah local flippin in iraq" or somethin like that

[neil9327]

So it is not just reindeer that have red noses up in Norway lol

[Galllos]

Nice flying despite the little accident

[henderthing]

Did you lose bar pressure during your dive after the first loop? There was an interesting article by John Heiney about this phenomenon in the current USHPA magazine. Vertical dive after loop with great speed and no bar pressure...when the pilot pushes out, the glider pitches up violently... Hope you checked your wing after that!

[scoppit]

I had bare pressure all the time, I guess I was to eager to get around and let the bar out too fast. I guess the sail got stretched a lot and the bottombar is longer than it used to be...

[tontar]

@scoppit The thing is, with flex wings the harder you pull up, he more the wing twists. The more the wing twists, the harder it will pull up on its own, making the pull up force increase dramatically, and hard to hold back. Easy pull up will make for manageable pitch pressures throughout. Don't be in a big hurry. Be safe!

[anterokan]

Well done loops. Nice to see.

[scoppit]

Those were loco-loops, hard for the glider and hard for the face! Good the glider didn`t explode!

[mauzofrailo]

what's up with his nose???

[scoppit]

Nothing wrong with my nose, just very bloody after getting smacked in the face by the bottombar.
