1st solo hanggliding launch off mountain

My first solo foot launch off a mountain. Location: Ellenville, NY. Date: 12/13/08. Hang glider: Airborne Fun 190. Unfortunately the memory card on my camera ran out of space just as I was running out of LZ. I stuck the landing with about 10 feet to spare.

@ everbody that's thinking about it... Best decision I ever made. It's a long road to get off that mountain but totally worth it. Keeps getting better. Check out some of my other vids on my new wing.

people have got balls to try this sport. I would love to but the risk factor just seems too great for me.

Great job on first solo flight! I hope you have been enjoying the sport ever since. I am considering attending classes myself and wanted to ask how long it took before your first solo?

Thanks!
