    A minor safety suggestion: I see you have a loop tied at the end of your VG rope. Perhaps you always land with VG zero, so it doesn't matter, but if that is hanging down at all, there is a chance it could catch on a bush or something.

      Thanks. Yeah I always land full off. Mine full off still leaves too much slack which is why I tied the loop. Should prob just cut it shorter.

      I had a loop on the end of my cocoon harness that hooked on a sage brush limb while landing. It acted like at arrester hook on an aircraft carrier. My body stopped and the glider
      entered an aggressive flare . Fortunately because the rope and bush did not break, it limited the vertical zoom and I just pancaked onto the desert floor in a cloud of dust.
      Didn't even bend a downtube !

      @@lessainsbury8508 hmm. Yeah to be safe I’ll just cut it shorter. Was tripping hazard the way it was which is why I looped it. I feel like the VG is half way to the 1/4 setting instead of full off. Short distance to the first marker and long ways to second marker 🤔

    Nice video Dave! Dying to get back there. Does any ever bench up anymore? Haven't seen any recent videos of anyone...

      Hey Matt, yeah we’d still bench up. Benched up some the same day as video but the water and fog layers were so beautiful I hung out there.
