Thanks for taking the time to convert this footage and post it. Seems like there is a real shortage of ANY help trying to learn to fly this glider once you finish building it. If anyone out there has any tips and possibly some additional footage of the intricacies in learning to fly the Easy, please post! I found out the hard way that pitch control is a bit more sensitive than a flex wing glider. Hope to post my own next spring when I get it repaired and flying again.
Hey i didn't get a film with mine in 77 but i'm sure glad you did. Thought i'd see if Easy Riser would find a hit here......i find there available too...next stop.........thanks Jake.
WHOUA !!! they should build EASY again - in Europe so many paragliding pilots would love to soar ot in smooth conditions - so incredibe to check the year ! Flex was the "wrong" choice ?
Yep and that 3 minute movie was all we had for flight training and without a motor ha. I saw the ad in mechanics illustrated in the brake room one afternoon in 1976 - ft wainwright Alaska. just so happened there was a guy , cal spurrier in town that was selling a partial built kit. after I built it there was 4 of us- mike jacober , cal and bob spurier and me tom Bruner- only ones in Alaska. Mike Jacober saw my first flight and said your crazy , he said " your going to step in a hole and break your neck ha. He said he was going to design wheels and he did and started the first flying bi-wing with wheels Company in Alaska. Ck out this old footage: ruclips.net/video/mgi2NSfdK2I/видео.html

Thank you so much for posting this! I am Larry's daughter and have never watched this! WOW, classic.
See my avatar at 10,000 ft on an EZ-Riser. Great for Ridge soaring.

Love the music, sounds like the intro to a 70's porn film... Or so I am told.!!!
Is there a harness on there, or is he just hanging from under his arms?
USHPA #24 - (here) asking Where was location of this film taken ?
Looks like N.C. ????
Northern California. My dad used to fly at Sunset Beach (and other close ones) and Stanford Hills, among other locations.
MT weight of this riser
Where can I buy one
I would install a proper harness if I had to fly it..
c'est mieux que les motos !
