    This is by far the best HG video on UA-cam. I love watching it, and it keeps inspiring me to learn when I have more free time.

    4:48 in just blew me away! Absolutely amazing 👍
    This is by far the best hang gliding movie out there. Sends a tingle down my spine each time I watch it. So inspirational, but such a shame to see that so few people are coming into the sport. At the local hang gliding club, the vast majority are > 50 years of age. It's such a cool sport, that I just don't understand that.

      Well, I'm just coming into the sport ....but I'm 69, so not contributing much for the future. Where are all the young people? Staring at their phones? .....When they could actually fly?!?!?

    Awesome. I fly in Germany, Austria and french Alps, but there is nothing like this you showed us - the perfect soaring spot. Unbelievable! Now I´m dreaming awake to fly at this ridge!

    • @designbydave
      @designbydave  7 років тому

      noversibirsk not the entire distance. There are air space issues and it wouldn't likely all be soarable. There are some amazing sections you can fly through like Fort Funston, Big Sur and Santa Barbara.
