Now I know it's possible. It wasn't much of a downwind but it certainly wasn't zero wind and it was coming from behind me. Basically I was lazy, the thermal cycles were picking up and starting to come from all directions. I thought, "what the hell, let's see what happens".
I give most of the credit to my amazing wing that just parks over my head, and my motor for hanging correctly on my back, allowing me to run and giving me enough power to get me off the ground.
Nice........
