OMG GUNS 'N' ROSES!!!! Shes got a smile that seems to me!!! OMG!!! Now and then when I see her face she keeps me in that special place and if I stay there to long I probably break down and cry!!!! WHOO OH OH SWEET CHILD 'O' MINE!!!!

Okay anyways, I see your legs, is something holding them or do you have to keep them like that and make your abdominal(stomach) muscles hurt?

I so wanna try this out!!!

...first video I've seen of a glider being towed back up the training hill...looks like a

good idea tying rope to keel and doing that at the hill I've trained at, especially for

the learners who don't have the strength/stamina/etc. to trudge back up with big

glider.

I've hang glided since the 70's (over 30yrs). I now fly a Will's Wing U2 (Delta Wing). I have a young friend that flys the newest T2 (but it's still a modified Delta Frame setup w/more curve to wing tips).

After some 30yrs of Hang Gliding, nothing ever again equals the moment your feet first come off the ground and you realize you've broke contact with the earth!!! ..most all of us have had the biggest rush of our lifes then and I cried with the sheer exhilaration of it! Still exhilarating;)

@Hankxc Sorry buddy, but this song is right "I think you're crazy"! ....not to realize that the Delta style wing is still what hang gliding is all about. Things that have changed, are a slight curve at the wing tip and on the following edge of the wing of some gliders, the materials used and flying prone is now dominant over a chair sling! So get your facts straight!!! hehe ...or you end up looking like a fool!!! ;)

Thanks for posting this video. Where is this hill? Judging by the old delta wing dreams Id guess this was back in the mid 1980s.
