    I'm sure you make a pretty good risk assessment before jumping off a cliff, and you obviously are a pro on what you do, but I can't help but think "THAT was a close call". Thank you for sharing these amazing images. Fly safe.

      @@nicholasplesko533 They are not. You can find used beginner gliders for less than an iphone. And although 5-10k for a new one seems like a lot, they can last several decades if well maintained. I own a wing made in 1992 still going strong. My main wing is from 2013.

      @тαρ мє αи∂ ѕєχ ωιтн мє Mia I've never flown any large distance. However, you always need to keep a landing zone in sight that you can make a glide to. So you are constantly keeping an eye on the terrain for that. That keeps you familiar with where you were and where you are heading. Also almost everyone flies with a flight computer that tracks your position, altitude, speed, direction etc. Most even have a map like a navigator for your car. You can even plan a flight path that way.

    "Whew that was lucky' ! Indeed ! Hahahhahahaa ! I would be fine after getting away from that launch ! The walk up to it would freak me out with visions of a foot slipping on loose gravel, a rogue gust of wind at the wrong moment etc ! Nice rig and camera set up. Glad you walked away after floating over that car ! Beautiful flight !

Last week i had a hugh golden eagle fly over the top of my sail and park right over my wingtip checking my feathers out . I was listning to the eagle and the hawk at the time. Just dont want to come down and land. Great video wild launch. Thx
