These are all experienced pilots - conditions are very rough and strong. I think I would launch a few 100 feet down the hill not at the top like these guys are trying to.

i dont see any art here. Competition pilots should know better to launch

[uliflieger]

Those Starting conditions are tooo dangerous also for experienced pilots!! They are all crazy!!

ROFLMAO haha

really if you come from kiting/kitesurfing this looks as such a huge fail but is soo funny to watch.

Just launch some meters dowhill and will make it so much more easy, then just pull them break and let it carry you uphill in the stronger wind then rise.

Such a pitty they all competitors 0.o

It's a pity that sttill the most competitionpilots (and other) can fly but can not start .But they are to pride or lazy to learn groundhandeling in rough conditions .

We start a tandem in these conditions without a/c technique.or a competition glider even with 6 Bfr.
