Down at the Sea-side!

- Finally a day with a good southerly wind and a dry airmass instead of the usual grot associated with this wind direction. 5 DSGC gliders braved the rough aero-tows down to the Sidmouth cliffs, where fun was had on an epic scale. The walkers on the cliff tops seemed to enjoy the show and hopefully a few might risk a trip to our club to try gliding themselves.
There was even wave off the cliffs which allowed all of us to climb high enough to easily glide back home. A fantastic days flying!
Error in the credits the first song is
Disappear Here by Hybrid - Спорт
May you rest in peace Matt. You have left us with some wonderful memories and no doubt have inspired many to take to the skies, where you are flying now wtih no more earthly concerns. Thank you for your spirit and beautiful contributions. With love and sadness - Dave
Have watched this countless times over the years. There is something that keeps drawing me back. Truly breathtaking.
Still watching.
Same here, it must be something spiritual. Some pilots should put together a TV documentary about his flying. Such genorousity of spirit creating this epic golden globe award winning gliding sport videology best I have seen ever
@@spaced1851 same... can't seem to move it from my playlist
So cool two gliders chasing each other down the beach Gods speed to you
far better than doing donuts in tesco car park.....silent flight rules.
As someone who (recently) started gliding, I find this video exceptionally compelling in every way… I keep finding myself watching it.
Huge respect toward the late Matt.
Wonderful film, as an old glider pilot back in the 70`s I could give a lot to experience this kind of flying!
Years ago, at Sutton Bank, Yorkshire, it was possible to ridge soar for miles along the Hambleton hills. And in the T21, with the open cockpit and high wing just a few feet from the clifftop path, it was delightful with the scent of wildflowers and eavesdropping on the chatter of the walkers who seemed to enjoy a cheery wave. It was the only way to fly very low legally. I hope it still is and the powers that be never change it.
Stunning - mesmerising and simply beautiful. I don't think I've every been so captivated. Thank you very much for this wonderful footage. My few experiences in gliders have all been thermal but now I will dream of ridges and coastlines - we are well served in that regard here in Australia too! Perhaps instead of renewing my powered licence, I may have to consider soaring on what I've just experienced thanks to you! Many regards from Australia - David
This remains me on the rich gliding in Örlinghausen/Teutoburger Wald but no water side - what a wonderful scenary - the best film I have ever seen. Thanks
Pure fascination !! Thanks for this gem of a video !
Beautiful! Just beautiful!
Thank you for sharing your epic flight.
Loved this video. You and your buddies are amazing pilots. What a beautiful place to fly. Keep up the good work.
absolutely fantastic flying. i have watched you fly by many a times and am so glad i have found the onboard footage!
That's pretty cool. I wondered what it must be like for the residents and all I can imagine is that it would be awe inspiring.
Amazing voyage, better seasides, spectacular planet earth. Thanks for sharing those moments!
one day, for sure!!! love it!!!
Amazing video as always! Thank you for sharing and allowing us to dream!
One of the best videos with gliders!
My favorite Balleka vid I think.
I wish to be on one of the cliffs, enjoying the scenery, and suddenly see you flying low. How beautiful!
Thanks for all your videos, they make me dream.
I have to settle for practicing FPV.
Pablo.
Fantastic! I'm green with envy as I have only been on foot along this stretch of coast. What a buzz! I love seeing those wings flex and the feeling with a bit of g!
What an exceptionally great place to fly! Beautiful video.
Stunning! Must be one of the best action videos on UA-cam.
Fantastic movie, thanks for sharing!
Blue Skies
Nice grassy landing on top of the 7:07 cliffs......GREAT VIDEO ....ONE of the BEST ever!
great video- breathtaking! thanks
Balleka, not only are you a great pilot, great video editor, but an enhanced song-chooser ;-)
Frightening, but very beautiful!!
Breathtaking, as ever!!!
Wow!!! This is fantastic!! I'm jealous - you've got such a beautiful place to fly :)
Beautiful video! Really nice flying and setting. The pilot in front of you really got my heart racing a few times, he has a little of the crazy!
Wow, that's just awesome!
Just awesome. Really great.
simply amazing!
Every time I watch this the 'buzz' doesn't diminish, what it must be like to actually fly must be so exhilarating! My gliding experience has been just a couple of week courses at the London Gliding Club, an experience I will always remember, especially the aerobatics on the last flight!
Just amazing!
amazing landscape, amazing video
Guten Abend zusammen ein sehr gutes Video und die Musik ist supper@@@
Cracking video and as a bonus I could see my Nans house.
Wow, just watched this and was fascinated the whole way through. We often go on holiday to Beer and Sidmouth so know that area really well, though I've never seen it from quite that angle before :) I last flew a glider about 10 years ago jus,t after going solo, when my first child and a new house took most of my spare money. I really would like to get back into it, but I'll probably stick to thermal gliding for now. That really did look quite close in places ;). Thanks for the Vdeo, Epic :)
Just Brilliant!
Nice video, that must have been great day for you two.
Great vid Matt ... makes me want to get back into gliding!
Enjoy GSS ....
stunning!
wow! that was amazing
Another great video Matt. Keep them coming.
Brad.
Awesome. An envious Dorset Gliding Club member.
Very nice video!!!! Greetings from Argentina.
Fantastic vid guys - just wow... :)
AWESOME!!!!!! nice video! nice soaring/wave ride!!!!!
WOW, a dream to fly like that.
The silence bit at 5:44 gets me everytime. Just as he turns back for home....
left hand on the air-break ....and gazzzz
Great video... pulled me right out of my gloom.... thanks a lot!
Wonderful!
Great video again !
Great Video!
Hermoso vuelo, felicitaciones ,unas vistas para disfrutar .muy buen video.
Nice video great music Perfect !!
Magnifique !
I love the video!
Wow excellent views, songs, and video. Wish I had the courage to try that.
I did this run in motorglider RF5B some years ago but I don't remember switching off below cliff top height! Superb vid!.
Awesome!!
Amazing Flight..............
DSGC has a new playground...We should have droped leaflets! Wicked wicked wicked
Great shots!
a spectacular flight,,,, I fly paragliding in Tenerife, Canary Islands and I love to fly soaring ... here there are several places for it, but do it in a glider is the ultimate. congratulations.
amazing fly and place.. i enjoy it very much. hug, edu
Love it!
great video, that sure looks like fun
Sick ride!
balls of steel.
Great Video !
Hiya Halfloaf! The rod helps transmit information to the cockpit. It's called a pitot tube. The changing tone in the cockpit is actually a really handy instrument. When the tone goes high, the glider is receiving vertical lift (Either it be hot air, wind rushing up mounting or cliffs etc). The lower of a tone it gets the less vertical lift it gets. All gliders have a instrument called a Vertical Speed Indicator which shows how fast upwards your glider is going. The sound lets pilot - eyes on sky
Great Vid. Well done.
Coooooool, suggest we go to the seaside more often!!!!!
Saw the story about the crashed shark! Glad you are alive and kicking... ;-)
Magnificent. Subscribed.
Amazing!!! Nice Skils :-)
Dont ya just LOVE those flexing wings of the ASW20 :-))
Fantastic! Great spot too. If you can't climb enough to get home you can just land on the pastures and golf courses next to the cliffs and enjoy the view :) Btw, I liked it when you flew by the golfers who were putting :)
Espectacular
tks
Even better when you know well that coast line yourself.
An absolutely fantastic flight area.
Quite different from my
I love the 1st song... And btw... Love also the home at 3:19 in the middle of the cliffs LOL.
Excellent stuff!!! In Holland, some pilots run the dunes at the west-coast.. :)
DESDE ESPAÑA. Espectacular vuelo en ladera con velero.
nice one matt!! great as usual :D
AWESOME
Very nice! What was your average speed when flying by the rocks or even below their surface level?
awesome
RIP
Fantastic - great scenery, intrepid flying, which for an early solo glider pilot is very inspiring!
One question - did the other glider have twigs on his winglets from the rock polishing!
TalksWithDirt Speed is our indicator. if you know your plane you know how high you are able to pull up at different speeds :) We dont have to many instruments - and thats part of the beauty :)
You should go try it sometime!!
@cybersoft1 they are using ridge lift. When the wind from the sea hits those ridges it shoots up and carries the glider.
I cannot describe how cool this vid is, not just the film but the vision to go and fly where others wouldn't even consider. You Sir, are an inspiration.
p.s. got youself a new glider?
One of the best gliding videos I've seen.
What camera did you use? GoPro? How was it attached?
I just got aHD Max Extreme that I want to use in/outside my Discus.
Stunning to say the least, i am almost done getting my PPL and after following your vids for quite some time i want to get my gliders licence as well, any idea on how long that usually takes?? Thanks Matt keep up the great work!
Amazing video. Would like to try it myself. Flying in the alpes - i
Breathtaking! Watch at 720p Full screen and it feels like your sat on the tail :)
RIP Matt, this was one of the videos that first inspired me into gliding ♥💔
RIP Matt ???
