- When it come to playing on the ridges nothing taps into the wonder quite like an agile, 15m, pocket rocket.
I think this is my ultimate smoking Denbigh edit.......so far!

I fell in love with flying through Matt's gliding videos and was devastated when I learned that he passed away. Now he's flying high 🙏💙
Balleka is forever! Life inspiration at its purest!
Wow. I just found this channel. That is really unfortunate.
i guess Im asking the wrong place but does anyone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb lost my login password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@@malachiaxl3178 try google. This is a really wrong place for this question :D good luck 🤗
Did he pass flying? I sure hope not. A H-301 guy. 15 meter ships are great.
Thank you for sharing the awesome vids and the inspiration Matt. So sad we wont get see more epicness but what you left behind is legendary what an outstanding pilot. R.i.p Matt my condolences to your friends and family. May you forever keep soaring dude
what happend?
@@flymexx320 crashed on take off in high winds.
I just stopped by this video again after a few years, and it's so much fun. I still miss waiting for a new video from Matt, whether it be a fun UK edit like this, or a mountainous epic out of La Motte du Caire. I loved whizzing down this ridge that low and this sums it up so perfectly. Thank you
Love this soo much. RIP flyboy
Flying West
I hope there's a place, way up in the sky
Where pilots can go when they have to die.
A place where a guy could buy a cold beer
For a friend and a comrade whose memory is dear.
A place where no doctor or lawyer could tread,
Nor a management-type would e'ler be caught dead!
Just a quaint little place, kind of dark, full of smoke,
Where they like to sing loud, and love a good joke.
The kind of a place that a lady could go
And feel safe and secure by the men she would know.
There must be a place where old pilots go,
When their wings become heavy, when their airspeed gets low,
Where the whiskey is old, and the women are young,
And songs about flying and dying are sung.
Where you'd see all the fellows who'd 'flown west' before,
And they'd call out your name, as you came through the door,
Who would buy you a drink, if your thirst should be bad,
And relate to the others, "He was quite a good lad!"
And there, through the mist, you'd spot an old guy
You had not seen in years, though he'd taught you to fly.
He'd nod his old head, and grin ear to ear
And say, "Welcome, my Son, I'm proud that you're here!
For this is the place where true flyers come
When the battles are over, and the wars have been won.
They've come here at last, to be safe and alone,
>From the government clerk, and the management clone;
Politicians and lawyers, the Feds, and the noise,
Where all hours are happy, and these good ol' boys
Can relax with a cool one, and a well deserved rest!
This is Heaven, my Son. You've passed your last test!"
- Captain Michael J. Larkin, TWA (Ret.), 'Air Line Pilot' magazine, February 1995.
Matt, it's because of you I love gliding so much. Thank you and know that you are truly missed.
what happend?
died in an accident..
RIP Balleka. We miss you. But you are with us when we fly.
Hah! This song fits so much better to ridge running gliders than to bikes!
BY FAR the best adrenalizd glider flying. I absolutely love the song choice, and love the fly by with two gliders just above tourist! Simply AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!
RIP. You were a great inspiration.
This is just a fabulous video. I think I've watched it 50 times, and it inspires me to learn how to fly a sailplane. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much!!! Rest In Peace my fellow aviator... Rest In Peace...
Fantastic and the reason we do these kinds of things. We know it's not without risk.
BLOWING MINDS per usual. Awesome video. Thanks Balleka!
Awesome footage, great soundtrack!
Fantastic footage Matt! This low-level formation flying looks stunningly fun, hopefully I'll be doing the same sometime in my life. Happy landings!!
Great music mix with your videos. Please keep making them!
Awesome ride (never stop Matt to share with us, simply mortals!). Kudos for this sage words: Gliding is mostly about the journey...
I Like these videos you make and the soundtracks too !!
Whoah! That was great.
I'm not always a big fan of driving music on soaring videos, but this was wonderful. Thank you.
Nice Vid Matt. Love the new opening credit. Very polished.
You make some of the Best Glider Videos on UA-cam!!! well done sir..
Wow! As a glider pilot I've never flown on ridges before (only while hang gliding and paragliding). Now I want to do it soooo badly!! Phenomenal video! Please keep them coming!
This is a great video. Sorry to see this guy check out. Goes to show that even experienced pilots can get themselves into an unrecoverable position. It's easy to forget that flying can be coldly final in its assessment of your skills and judgement.
Great Clip ! one of your Best!!
Awesome... what a rush!! Great video with great sound! I need to get myself into this. You should try mounting a camera on the dash-board turned your way... you must be "pulling" some hilarious faces in these soaring sessions. Great flying Balleka!
Just awesome !! Thanks
sheeeeezzz bru! Pushing it! Such a rush - thanks keep the vids coming and fair sailing to you.
just got into your videos to find out u was taken total waste of a great pilot YOUR VIDEOS ARE AMAZING R.I.P MATE 😢
what happend?
launch accident near Brent Tor in Devon.
This is the First video I am watching of his, I am amazed how he really could soar above everyone else.. RIP ..
yeah he passed away m8 😢
Thats very sad to here.. so much tallent.
So awesome :D I think every second that you hit the ground with your wing...
Keep it coming Matt :D Awesome stuff!
Great footage. Cool music. Thanks for posting. Just bought a Grob...
You know you're flying low when you can make eye contact with people on the ground. Awesome vid
Know the place from the ground, waiting to start glider pilot licence... Thanks for the videos.
Awesome as usual!
Great Fantastic.
Super cool !
Keep them coming!
Really really nice video!
Great clip!
Wow, great video.
Beautiful and great!, ... so, where's the place?
an amazing ride !
...perhaps, if you go
soaring the coastline again,
would be cool, if you could film it
with this brilliant camera equipment ! ツ
RIP mate you are a bloody awesome Pilot!!
Awsome ! Wonder if I can go that fast with the Ka6...LOL
Great work Matt, top location straight onto the ridge. I wish I had something like that close by to fly my Cobra 15 on here in Australia, I'm yet to experience a ridge.
Phillip Brown That's 'cos Oz is flat. Seriously, though, ridges are great fun. Come over the Tasman and try Omarama for some of the best gliding in the world.
+Phillip Brown There are plenty ridges to fly in Australia as well. Just visit the Mount Beauty gliding club and go for a fly.
+martls6 I do need to get down to Beauty and experience it at least once.
awesome !
Awesome !!!!!!!!
Just two words........FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!
W.T: Faster!!!
good flyin
Great vid. Very different than the ridge soaring in Southern California. We're on to booming thermal season now. What kind of plane are you flying?
Another great Video........Play Full screen and turn up the Volume !
Great video and music - where was this Wales ? - Looks like a suitable spot for a high speed run on a Mountain Bike - I have used this track on my downhill blast on the Cam High Road in Wensleydale - Have you even flown up there ??
This is soo perfect!!
gran bel video
It just gets better everyone you download,
Great videos, no mistake, please keep them coming. The views and by watching the instruments, the insight you give is second to none IMHO. Maybe you could talk aspiring glider pilots (me included) through it with a little more detail ?
Watching this one as a 1500+ hour PPL on powered aircraft, I was a little concerned by the amount of vertical stabilizer shudder that is shown in a lot of the tail fin camera shots. Is that normal ? I would have thought it was very inefficient, especially for a glider to have that amount of shudder on a major control surface ?
This is quite late, and you probably are already aware of this. But it is not the stabilizer seen in the picture but a probe tube - AFAIK that is the total energy probe.
And - RIP Matt.
Hot.
I would so love to go for a ride with you. Keep up the videos
whow. disimetric flight
Fantastic, where is it ?
Balleka Thank you ! ;)
Just curious what is the screen instrument in the center of the panel?
Interesting landscape - where is it?
True story: this low-pass has been the reason for which I started flying!
Good decision. The most exciting experience in life is flying a glider.
I read most everyone's posts. They used up all of my adjectives. Some said there was music with your video. I really did not hear the music because I was flying with you, intently. Wow. Really great ridge soaring that just took my breath away. I watched twice. Now, I have to watch once more and hope to hear the music this time. Ha-Ha. I have to fly that ridge in my Diamant-18. I enjoyed flying with another glider too. I am house bound for the moment. I am going entirely through my Diamant for the third time in 30-years and I still have to annual my Skyhawk 172C. Even my Harley is outside getting washed and there is a storm going overhead right now. So, no riding until tomorrow. Please tell me the name of the ridge and glider port so I can look them up with Google Maps. Thanks for the thrill.
The ridge is part of the Clwyidian range in North Wales UK. The Site is known as Denbigh Gliding Lleweni parc.
Love the low pass at the end. How fast do you think you were you going?
Well it made me smile!
Balleka I was watching the Isle of Wight video when I got curious about which glider you had so I googled the tail number posted on the instrument panel. I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your ASW 20, and that particular experience must have been quite unnerving, but I'm glad to see you're in one piece, and flying again. Is the new plane an ASW 27 by any chance?
Comet I`m sorry to tell you that Balleka died recently. The new glider was an ASW 24.
I keep watching his videos over and over to get trough the winter and remembering him.
I am so sorry to hear these sad news :( Hope it was not a crash? This was by far one of my favorite channels on youtube. His way of sharing the love for flight always put a smile on my face. He definitely lived it and had fun with it. My deepest condolences to friends and family.
Q
Flightbase That's certainly bad news. Do you know what happened? He put together some great footage showing what the English countryside had to offer, and I will always enjoy the videos he made. It seems UA-cam, and the soaring community suffered an impactful loss.
when I started flying gliders at the Auckland gliding club in 1980 we whwent from wood to glass,,,, the single astir was the dogs bollex and I flew the ass of it loops spins 20000 ft and low level runs like never before.... the old skool instuctors would swarm around me and say what do you fly like that ? I said becase we can now wooohoooo :)
I fly over Drury all the time, never flown a Glider but know where Auckland Gliding Club is.
Who is flying his plane with both hands? ;)
life is sad, I used to do this, it was my life... now I hardly leave the house ... old age sux!
What type of gilder is it?
A bit od tense moments when ground clearance was tight. I have about 300 hours in Grob G102...
a glide ratio is the glider and weighs How many? I want to buy ultra-light unpowered glider 115 kg which has a 36: 1 glide ratio, whether to buy a glider or pay attention to the more expensive gliders 15m -18m?
Balleka
and though as a non glider pilot myself, i would also imagine that having a sh*t load of fun doing the trip is also part of the enjoyment.
Well you see videos like this makes me mad... for not having my license yet. Hope I will be able to get mine this summer.
nice video but the colors seem bit oversaturated
