Awesome vid as always :-) Are you somewhat strapped in your glider? I would not like to fall out when coming in for a landing :-\

[smorrismlbco]

@Skydive4ever I'm wearing a harness that connects me to the glider and the emergency parachute system, so I can't fall out. There is also a cloth seat that closes underneath me after I take-off and I sit on this when flying. There are also shoulder straps that support the weight of the glider when I'm standing on the ground so that all of its weight rests on my shoulders.

Thanks, Steve

The wooden ramp seemed to be falling apart.

Thanks for putting this together. You did a good job keeping the topless in the frame at 2:19 You are always on the lookout for topless at Marina huh?
