    I have never seen this video before but all I can say is WELL DONE. I'm now convinced this is the sport for me!!! Awesome...

    It 's 9000 km from where I live, such a shame. Movie is good, people are looking nice, you guys make me smile behind my desk. Keep on 'hanging around' .

    Brings back so many awesome memories. I flew Funston for about 10 years in the 90s. Chasing Mark Lilledahl up and down the cliffs to Westlake and back made me a much much better and confident pilot. Thank you Mark. We use to be able to launch at the dumps when the wind was North but I think that’s only for the paragliders now. OMG The shear days could be just magical.

    Really great video, wonderful job. I'm an old guy, flew there in 1975-77, standard glider then on to a Wills Wing SST. Gliders have gotten so much better, safer. Took lessons from a shop in Daly City, don't remember the name now. Still makes my heart beat faster.

      The shop was called "Chandelle". A nice young lady was running it. I flew several times at Funston with a Manta Fledgling (a rigid wing). I still have a perfectly good Fledgling IIB hanging in my garage in the Bay Area since 1982, the last time I flew it. Sometimes I still dream to fly hang glider again.

    the video is almost as awesome as the site, the introduction with the glider getting in the frame is stunning. great piece

    Nice I got to fly there one day. Been flying the Crawfords and the Point of the Mountain since 1975. Have a lot of hours in the 40 years I have flown. I bet life's a beach if you sink out !! LOL

    Nice job fellas! I didn't know Steven Spielberg made hang gliding promo videos. Makes me want to buy a hang glider and jump in!

    And then there’s the “safety meetings” in the bushes. Inside joke.

      58 is not old at all to start hang gliding. www.ushpa.org/page/learn-to-fly-overview

    01:02 the wing looks so close to the ground! that's scary.
