Kicking Treetops and scratching the road (paragliding) in HD!!

Kicking trees and scratching the road in pure HD goodness! The original footage is in 60fps. You can download the file (940MB mp4 format) here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9SK44QM6

Flying a paraglider kicking treetops and scratching the road as trucks roll below on a light day. I'm 20 lbs over the maximum weight limit for the wing :)

If you are a pilot, this is probably a little boring until after the 3:40 mark.

nice bit of gliding, wot's generating the lift, the trees? i try to steer clear of trees except under power, lol. spotted the sports bike riders checkin u out! wot glider u flyin?

[rolan]

Lift is coming from tiny weak thermals rolling up the mountain. If you're watching in HD or the original file, you may notice I'm constantly scanning the trees below for any slight movement in the leaves - those are the thermals. Conditions were weak that day. Barely enough for me to stay up on the Sky Atis S glider (and I'm 20lbs over the weight limit).
