When the Wind Blows, The FUNdamentals of Hang Gliding

- The words and music of the song were written, performed, recorded and engineered by the genius musician Tony Lasley. Tony recorded "When the Wind Blows" entirely on his phone right after the first sound recording app came out for the i-phone. His video of the recording process is very interesting, since he made all of the instrumental sounds by innovative modifications to his guitar. All of the orchestration you hear is the result of the application of Tony's creative mind to a single acoustic guitar. Prepare to be impressed. • When the Wind Blows
Interesting fact: Tony Lasley was my video-editing teacher when I took a class at Palomar College several years ago. When I first heard this song, I knew it would be perfect for a future hang gliding video. Tony has graciously agreed to allow me to use it in this film.
RJ Mckeehan and I shot the footage at Point of the Mountain Utah, South Side in September of 2020 and May of 2021. I shot the time-lapse videos in Utah in May 2021. The point of this and all my films is to show the great fun of flying hang gliders.

Wow that was sooo well done! Thanks for using my tune John!!!
beautiful!! I am 53. started hang gliding at 41. I've been out of it for about 6 years. I'm getting ready to buy a new glider and get back up there. I miss it so bad.
So proud of you John. Small town boy makes it big. Huntley should be proud of you too. Say hello to Keri and Kathy for me.
Never been here but it looks like fun. John, if I keep watching your videos I'm gonna be looking for a glider. I thought about getting back into skydiving but flying hang gliders was my real passion. Dang it. I've still got my harness. Hmmm...
This is soooo awesome. If you start looking into Hang Gliding, John Heiney's name comes up again and again. I'm an old, former HG flyer from back in the mid-70's starting up all over again in Arizona. Someday, I'd like to meet this guy in person!
That was sweet, John.
Excellent! The silky smooth vocals matches your flying. I did notice the ~35yr old glider...and the very modern Paragliders....I exclaimed out loud "when was this?" Thanks for showing us all the immense pleasure of ridge soaring. Nice work!
I agree.
The music and video in perfect harmony with the wind and your gliding , John . A perfect show of how fun hang gliding can be.
The Dream 185- one of the top 5 glider designs EVER!
You are a MASTER
Great job on the video.
It was a pleasure to help with this, and I look forward to flying again with you soon :)
Well done. Just simply a great production with a seamless and beautiful story.
Wow loved it! thanks.
This is one of the best videos I have seen on HG
ordinarily I despise music in HG vids ( prefer the sound of the surroundings , harmony of the wing fighting the wind ) however in this vid , tastefully done , enjoyed it . Ps , nice flight
Thank you all for the kind words.
This makes me feel alive!
This is awesome!! Makes me wish I was flying a hang glider right now. Great job Mr. Heiney!
Very well done and smooth as silk John
Back in the day, we used to set up in the dark, so we could launch at first light!
What a wonderful little movie. I love the music and the shots. Great job to everyone involved.
Beautiful! How can we explain the joy of flight? This is how. Bravo!
That's a great one, John. Thanks for all the great photos and videos over the decades. You have a real ability to showcase our sport in a way that all appreciate!
A nice relaxing video, which is helped along with a smooth tune. It's funny, I could never make my ''Dream'' fly like that. Well done 'Bonnie Lad'
YOU'VE GOTTEN SO MUCH BETTER AT VIDEO EDITING! And you're a hang glider... good work.
Nice flying John…185 Dream…Classic) I’m looking forward to flying with you again when I get back to So Cal. It’s been a long winter here in Idaho.🥶
Wonderful video and the music is awesome.
Great John, congratulations
this is epic John, what a delight to see you fly and make it look soo easy!
Now, where did John find all Denta-Wing 185 Dream (as Dino called it) in this day and age? I miss Bill and the entire gang and our days in his shop. Hi John.
Great video, great selection of music, so soothing and acoustic.
I flew a 1984 Flight Designs Demon 175 (with _internal_ floating cross-tube) that had the same color pattern as your Dream. Most of my ridge soaring began with that wing.
Thanks John Heiny, for your contribution to the artful sport of hang gliding performance extraordinaire 💥
Beautiful video and editing John!!!
Thanks for this, John. Your graceful technique is inspiring. 😎👍
Awesome!
Pure awesomeness!!!
BELLISSIMO!!
awesome video!
Dream 185
Hi John this is Diego glad to see again , hopefully everything is good with you I have a good memories from you as a teacher of hanggliding and nice person you're always I said " John heiney is the " gentleman of hanggliding" you're the Best
the simple pleasures of flight
Perfect and high skill FUN.
❤❤❤❤❤
Nice. Music was very "Lennon-esque". Hang gliding needs to connect with spiritual roots and get away from the numbers game.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍✌✌✌✌
hey congratulations ! Please, where is this place exactly? Going by car, I ask which point? which name ?
This is Point of the Mountain. It lies between Salt Lake City and Provo Utah in the USA. It's about 20 miles south of Salt Lake City. The I-15 Freeway runs north/south and passes close to the Point. You will see the north and south soaring ridges from the freeway. Join the club. Have fun. Fly safely. www.uhgpga.org/
Is that a Harrier 177?
Must be a dream 185.. My first training glider!
