    FAQ below ⬇️
    Thanks for watching! Please try a hang gliding lesson if you’re interested 😊 Here are some common questions:
    Q: How do you land?
    A: We steer by moving our weight under the glider. To land, we fly out of the rising air, then glide gently down to the ground. Gravity is always pulling the glider down, so it’s easier to land than it is to stay up. If you’re curious, many of my other videos show landings!
    Q: Won’t the wind push you over the water?
    A: The wind is blowing from the ocean so it’s pushing us away from it. Even if the wind died, we can’t get to the ocean from this low hill.
    At other sites where we do fly over the ocean (not here), we do everything possible to avoid landing in the water, and carry a knife to cut free of the glider if necessary.
    Q: Don’t you need a parachute?
    A: We always carry a parachute when flying in the mountains/at high altitude. Here on the dunes, we’re flying too low for a parachute to be effective. All of that said, most hang glider pilots never need to use their parachute.
    Q: What happens if the wind switches or a big gust hits?
    A: We can still control the glider in gusts. If the wind is too strong or switches, we can land.
    Q: What happens if the wind dies?
    A: Nothing; the glider just glides down to the ground and we land.
    Q: Can I try it?
    A: Yes, 100%! But please don’t try on your own as it’s very dangerous to teach yourself. Find a school/instructor online for a lesson, and have fun!
    Q: Can you tell me how to build a glider?
    A: No. We only buy certified hang gliders from professional manufacturers. It’s very dangerous to try to design, build, and fly your own. You can buy a well-used but still flyable hang glider for under $1k USD. Please take lessons before trying to fly one.

      There's something to be said about already being in a big open parachute.
      Still, there's something about a hang-glider.
      It's fascinating to watch the hang-gliders at Torrey Pines just step off the cliff into the rising wind, and just fly away. Landing is just as graceful. They just lightly touch down, and put the nose on the ground.

    Imagine if someone made something like this in ancient times! It seems like such a simple design, but very complex all at the same time. Like the wings of a bird...

    I can’t seem to stop watching this… this is true flight.
    … and not being cooped up in a metal can out of touch with the air, wind, sun and sound.

      Yeah I run 30 kilometers to work every day, I don't want to sit in a metal tin out of touch with the wind and the air..... Hollow words

      Не забывай, что это ещё и опасно.
