Didn't have as much footage as I wanted, but Monte Cucco definitely is a special place to fly!

Hey, awesome flying! Is that a litespeed? Looks like it, telling from the speedbar!?

@shitNameAlert Nope, it's an Aeros Combat 09 14.2.

Great performance! This type of "dynamic" flight is what make this sport cool. The maneuver at 2:30 that you are flying near the ground is a risc maneuver ? Are you using a mac to edit your videos? What kind of actions or care the pilot should be aware in landing in so short footage?

@6btl6 The low flying at 2:30 was an overshoot, I missed the landing. I was flying slow, but you do not want to touch the ground with the speedbar, that would be a bad crash... Basically, for all landings, you come in with enough speed to have a lot of maneuverability to get you through the turbulences close to the ground. Then, you keep the glider as stable as possible (into the wind!) close to the ground until you lost enough speed to flare to a landing.

Yes, the videos are edited with iMovie.
