    It was so cool to see a longer video, and to see the landscape behind the ridge. So lush and vibrant, it almost looked like a model! As always, thank-you for putting these up.

      Thanks for always watching and commenting on my video :)
      Gopro never lasts long on these longer flights. This was a 1.5 hour flight. I would imagine it gets a little boring watching after a while, no?

      @@yoshidragonaga No, not boring. I do really enjoy the way you are just, well, hanging above the earth. It's a joy to get to go along for the ride.

    Such a beautiful ridge. We owe a lot to Matt for securing this site all those years ago.

    So fun to watch this! Who was that you greeted at 9:26? and was that Don with the Moyes glider below you earlier?

    I grew up watching hang gliders on Grandfather Mountain, NC but it ended a long time ago. I would love to see you at Lookout Mountain.

      Wish they still flew at Grandfather Mt. It's not far from where I live. I heard KHK is having a hang gliding event there this summer!

      Thanks, Mike! Ridge soaring is actually easy, once you can handle the stronger conditions. The lift is pretty much guaranteed, so you can stay up for as long as the wind keeps blowing.
