Though I have more experience hang gliding than skydiving, I do enjoy the experience occasionally. If you have never been skydiving, it is an experience I recommend everyone try at least once. After you have fallen through the sky for the first time, you will never look up at it the same way ever again.

A couple quick hang gliding flights and Lookout Mountain Flight Park. Obviously the landing still need some work.

This is my first flight flying off the cart in my own glider. Before this I was taking off straight off the ground in the training glider with big fixed wheels. I was excited about using my glider but nervous about the cart. Now I kind of like the cart. Unfortunately the GoPro was pointed higher than intended so you can't see it. Just know the mysterious thing allowing me to roll across the gro...

I finally got a good camera angle from the keel and end up catching my worst landing ever, even so, an awesome day and a really fun flight. Thankfully no hang gliders or hang gliding pilots were harmed in the making of this film :)

My first mountain launch at Lookout Mountain, a nervous newbie takes to the skies.
Very good and nice 👍
I have a question to the experts here. In hang-gliding, can a pilot input a one side turn and quickly input an opposite side turn to negate the previous input, without the glider respond to the first input? In other words does a fast pendulum action from one side to the other has any effect on the glider? Does the physics in gliders allow them forget inputs if negated?
What the fu..!
Lol smooth move EXLAX
Hey you walked away from the flight, been there to. Landings and gravity are not always as nice as the flight. Blessings
Any landing you walk away from is a good one! 😊
20 seconds into the video and I am wondering why those two men are sitting on the side on the ramp while a glider is preparing for take off.
nice landing
Ping pong landing its good ;)
Hey! Would it be ok to feature your clip in a video we're making? You'll be credited with a on-screen watermark and in the description/pinned comment. Do you mind explaining what happened?
Go for it. The rider was on a v-twin and driving through mountain passes like it was a sport bike. That was all well and good until he misjudged how tight a turn was coming up. He ran out of road and out of hope as the severe angle of the turn and the huge weight of a v-twin passed the point of no return against the laws of physics. The beautiful bike was quickly turned into a sliding sled of shame.
Your lucky it didn't fold under your down tubes
his body was fine, but underneath his pride was shattered
Hello! May I use it in my new episode? Full credited of course.
Go for it. I'm pretty new to the moto-world, as you can probably surmise. Lessons were learned from this for sure.
@@krizz90000 Thank you!
A hang glider pilot must never set up the landing in a turn. The left and the right sides will see different speeds, and the result can be seen in this video. Set up the landing leveled up, assume upright position, speed through the gradient, ground effect, and flair at the right moment (don’t flair in strong head wind though)
Pilots tend to think about too high or low on an approach. You need instead to think about controlling the distance to touchdown and making it right for for the altitude you have. The advantage of a base leg approach is it allows you to vary your distance to touchdown by cutting the corner if you need to be closer or squaring off the turn if you are good or overshooting the final a little if you need more distance. Also the base leg allows you to evaluate wind drift and think what that means to your final approach. What you don't want to do is be making steep desperate turns near the ground. That will kill you in a light airplane and bend downtubes in a hang glider. I have owned three hang gliders, licensed in sailplanes, and 5000 hrs+ instructing in light airplanes.
You made that last turn so low, I really thought you were setting up for a downwind landing so I was thinking , "this is not going to be good" but, for a different reason.
Was more an “ugly landing” than a “crash” in the end. I assume the last second left turn was unintentional and was a result of some combo of too little speed. Get on downtubes earlier, look straight ahead, and always come in fast (unless you end up landing downwind, as appears to have happened here). Good thing wheels took a little of the shock.
I felt this almost 9 years later
and here the device accelerated perfectly on landing
What's up with people sitting on the launch? Pilot had to move around them. Not cool
One of the pilots sitting on launch is Greg Heckman, the best thermal pilot at Lookout. He sometimes can't be bothered with moving out of the way. We just go around him!!😅😅 EDIT: actually back when this video was made you had to get on the ramp on the far right corner. The ground behind the ramp was lower in the center and much lower to the left side. So those guys weren't in the way at all.
You shouldn't turn while you're landing. I'm not even a pilot and I know that.
Don't fill bad, anyone that has been flying hang gliders has done that!!!
I feel lied too
Who is the BOZO sitting on the launch ramp that makes the pilot have to walk around him to get set for launching
Bad Landing maybe. Crash?
clickbait!!!
Didn’t look too bad at all. Could have been far worse. I want to try this!!
How are those little wheels supposed to roll on a grass field? You need about 12". Just sayin'.
Thats not a crash bro its just a shitty landing
That’s the best type of landing I could hope for if I tried this 😂🤣
Get some sheet and a few lightweight poles and a sleeping bag and jump off a mountain. Clever . No sympathy for crashes
Thanks for sharing this video. I'm headed to LMFP this summer to learn to hang glide, and I'm looking at landing videos to see what to do and what not to do. It takes courage to share the "here's where I made a mistake" video, but I've rewatched your approach multiple times to get an idea of the field layout and strategies for landing. It looks like you thought you might run out of runway, tried to circle around to bleed off airspeed and altitude, and underestimated how much altitude/speed would be lost in that turn (and those trees mandated a tight turn there, too!). Glad you walked away from that one unharmed and with an unharmed glider. Any advice for a noob who's probably going to face-plant a few times on the bunny hill next month?
When are you going? Looks like ma great place
@@marktompkins190I went there for HG training, can confirm it is a great place!
Чайник. Управлять не умеет. И крыло постоянно тянет в право.
Those wheels came in handy
REFLEJOS O QUE 😮
As a former hang gliding pilot, it looked like you let the wind take control of your landing.
Glad to see the crash as more of a whack!
Interesting. It is really very silent. Amazing.
By the audio of the wind you fluctuated your airspeed from very slow to stalling .Your arms were Straite out .To fly the same track again with more airspeed, speed is your power. Also make your last 100 ft with more speed again,but have a long straight line to the landing point you have put your eye on. have your feet free legs folded,You'll learn where you keep speed up to round out close to landing ,the time to slow down and feel the pressure your pulling in to maintain flight is getting lighter ,Nezt it will push back by iit's self,wanting to drop the nose to regain speed.This point is the right time to flare.
That's as good as a crash gets lol, assuming no damage to the glider and clearly none to the pilot.
Looked a little rough on the landing. But he walked away.
Kiss belly landing ! ))
ALL TACKOFF FROM Raiman fly land IRAN ua-cam.com/video/I8KNMVeYewk/v-deo.html
Turned too close to the ground and did not level wings or flare early enough. I've done it before, but I won't do it again.
Well that was a belly flop on land if I ever saw one... glad you're okay. Hope the glider is in good shape still
Carry a bit more speed. Notice if you relax the glider speeds up if trimmed properly. Then shift hips with a slight pushout to turn.
Funny approaching.... well... lesson 1, never make turns close to ground when landing... could've been worst. Practice short flights over and over so you be exposed to more landings and not long stabilized flights. Landings are more demanding.
I meant to do that.
The camera was hella secured.
Esau is crazy
