This was pre-planned, wasn't it. I couldn't imagine picking a landing spot down there "as you flew along". Also surprised at the ridge lift you were getting, it seemed more 'buoyant' (for want of a better description) than I would have expected in the dead of winter. Well done !
I flew RC slope in the bowl where you launched from in the mid 90’s. Decent site but above timberline meant landing on rocks w high ground speeds due to the thin air. Still fun though. Well done!
Nice ride. I flew from very near that spot in '96, as well as from the top of Bross several times in '95. Beautiful when the air isn't crazy big. High density altitude landings, though....oof.
That looked cold... but very pretty! I did wonder where you were going to land right from the start. I see the landing area isn't the biggest in the world! 🤣
Great and ballsy flight. Interesting though, as if we land a PG in any of the A-Basin lots, we get in big trouble, even outside of operating hours. How'd you get away with it?
I've personally seen hang gliders in Colorado ski towns dating back to the early 1970s -- more than 50 years. You are not the first. _hear this thou age unbred: Ere you were born was beauty's summer dead._
Super cool! Brad Koji flew Loveland pass back in the early 90's. RIP.
Old timer here, haven't been up that way for a couple decades, it was so cool to see that area from a birds eye view, thanks for posting.
I believe HG Pilot Dusty Buckler was flying here in the early 80's If I remember correctly
FWIW
Anyway nice footage and flight!
Everyone always thinks they're the first to do things it's cute 😊
That looked incredible!!
At least somebody put out a WELCOME sign for you!
Haha nice man. I just met you at Kitty Hawk and flew tandem with you. So cool what you're doing!
That was beautiful and a perfect ride!
Awesome dude,
I have blasted those turns many times, on motorcycles and fun cars, to see them from your perspective is amazing 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I've hit that road in a fun car.
I suppose that's one way to beat the A-Basin parking lot 😆
That's pretty funny. The rest of us have to settle for renting a condo for the weekend.
That was pretty sick! I’ve never seen hang gliding pov footage before, nor from locations I’m familiar with. You should upload more content for sure.

The ground effect at the landing made it look like you were beginning to run out of landing space. Nice job!

Very cool!! in more ways than one. Nice sled ride. Bet you felt good about that landing. Now lets see a summertime flight with some lift.
Right on brotha, this is sick!! 💪🥶
Great view of A-basin!
Nice of your buddies to BC ski up there for you. Nice flight but I recognize your support.

I can see Bross out my window. It would be wild to see somebody just send it off the top.

Must have felt so awesome!
Man, you went straight for your final. Great flight!)
Insane!! I love this area, cool to see someone fly it! Respect for that landing, wow! Would be cool to get some back story about the hike.
Not much of a hike, the road crosses right where he launched
The no wind downhill landing was pretty tight!!
Nice winter flight !

Charlie, pretty sure you were the homie who was foot dragging my moustache at south side POTM ;) super rad dude!!!!
Wow, did you really do that without gloves? Thats impressive. Next time can you do some footage of hiking up with the wing?
I love it! nice strafes, way to use up the entire LZ!
Charly got gnarly on this one ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Very cool brother🎉
Man you are good!
Nice flight!
1:54 god thing you looked up.
don't mess with your harness until you are straight and level
Pretty sure we saw you that day!!
Nice landing!
Nice! I was wondering where you were going to land.
That was awesome!!!!!
Nice going!
Stopped on the very end of the landing field. Did you land downhill?
I wonder if you could have flown further down and landed at A basin..
Should try to fly it all the way down to keystone
Interesting way to get to A-Basin.
YES!
So sick!
nah
sled ride
no
hike shown

Squeeking for altitude the whole way. Good job.
sick!

Bad ass!
A-Basin aerial view
👍👍👍👍👍
You can see Arapahoe Basin for most of the flight.
Cool.
nice man
I saw a dide do that back in 92
"Holy Shit"? I didn't see you shit. When did you do that?
With that amount wind I can't believe he couldn't sniff out some ridge lift...
DUDE! Epic! put a link up to a map with launch and landing site man. Subscribe and check out some Dragonfly stuff and other aviation.
Hang gliders cant hike. Pilots can.
Hike? U drove up there..
He hiked it
@@jacksonwilling1485 like 100 yard ding bat…u drive all way up to Loveland pass!give me a break..
