Gravity Optional: HD version

THIS is what it's like to fly like a bird (or, at least, a very strange bird). The shot is designed to make you feel like you're right up there with me. Be careful, you might get dizzy.
This camera's wide-angle lens is from one of the first GoPro HD cameras sold in America. I pre-ordered it, went out for a test run, and was so happy with the results that I made a video of it. Now everyone has a GoPro! Damn it!
The GoPro HD camera is now a staple among all action sports. It captures the whole scene; from the wing dipping down to the horizon to the ground spinning below to the pilots legs swinging in the breeze. No straight lines on THIS flight.

Paul, PLEASE !

At 0.58 - 0.59, you pull "something" off your wing, and got the "big ears". What do you pull ?

Big thanks from France,

Rodolphe

Rudolphe. I simply pull the lines that are attached to the wing tips (the outer "A" lines). I have "split A risers" that makes big ears easy. I think many but not all wings have "split A's".

Thanks Clauteaux, you have always been so kind.

The camera is the new Gopro HD. It is attached to a short stick that is taped to my foot.
