Some amazing footage! Though don't be tempted to think shallow rivers aren't dangerous. Even if you crash into it and can "just stand up", the water, even though it flows slowly exerts some extreme pressure and it won't take long to fill your glider and drag you downstream where you'll have a hard time keeping your feet and keeping your head out of water. If you're planning to fly low over flowing shallow water I'd encourage you to undo some harness buckles so you can climb out quickly in the event of an accident. Though don't forget to re-buckle when you climb away from it and don't absentmindedly foot drag the water with them undone. Fly safe my friend and thanks for sharing a great video!
Very cool! But there is a limit to the number of times you can get away with flying that close to tree limbs and not catching one eventuality, which going fast over water would likely mess you and your gear up more than would ever be worth it. Be safe!
I was a little nervous but my buddy Robert told me that it was completely fine and he watched me from above giving me directions on the radio. If it were not for him, I would be in a watery grave
Shreddin it up, son!! Loved it Marc. The water out here in the PNW is just too cold and deep for that kind of risk. 😅 I cant deal with this cold ass water after growing up in the south. 😂

All good advice, thanks Ryan
The commentary alone makes the video worth watching. The flying is a bonus.
LOL, thanks for watching!

Well, gotta put this on my bucket list now! Good job filming this!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

Cold Deep water would be terrible to end up in. Usually I don’t fly this risky but it was kind of off best case scenario.
Awesome area!!
It sure is!
So awesome!!!
Thank you for watching!!!
When the lines are laying out on the grass, either before or after a flight, do plants tend to snag and fray the fibers on the lines?
Not on grass, but in a hay field or when there’s stalky plants then possibly.
Do you have anything as a “breakaway” on your chase cam?
@@tango_sierra8608 no, if it hits something, I probably hit something
Yeah buddy!!!
Great new airfield, only 5 miles from the river spot
See ya.
