My first flight at Yosemite. The actual flight time was 17 minutes, which is a bit more than the normal sled ride thanks to very mild lift during certain portions of the flight.
Sweet vid. I know nothing of hang gliding and I am wondering about turning left/right. At teh 1:30 mark you are turning to the right and your body looks like it is on the left side of the handle. Is this correct of just the way it looks. I would think that you would lean/pull the handle in the direction that yuo want to turn. As for lift, do you find much ni yosemite coming up from the valleys. I would expect mild if anything for thermal action but maye some updrafts from the ridges
