วีดีโอ

One thing I disliked about Lookout was if you're not there consistently, all your going to do is sled runs. In my 15 years there I only had a few memorable flights. It was either dead calm or howling winds . This was back in the 1990s early 2000. Long before the new radial ramp. So I quit, now that I'm retired and living in Mexico, there's Valle de Bravo. All new hanglider and equipment. And a solid prospect of 75 or 80 hours airtime during the season. I love Lookout but Valle has it beat by miles.

Wow, you got uncomfortably low off launch!

Svaki dan letis samo rokaj

That's what wheels are for . Great sledder!

Nice!

Nice!

61 flights already! At this rate. You'll be a H3 in no time!

Sweet landing!

Awesome ! 😎

It’s Bandit time!

Nice!

Awesome flight and great landing Nihad! Congrats bud, can't wait to fly with you again!

To je sve dobro mores da ides na termiku polako

To majstore supersi samo tako nastavi..

Go Nihad!!! 👏

Nice 👍

You are so consistent! Great job!!

Super svaka cas toje sve ok.

I love this GT harness, it is so comfortable to fly with. Yeah I love this flight and my exit from box pattern, downwind leg, base, final and of course the landing was so pretty good as well.

Isn't that pod harness amazing? Nailed that landing!

Nice landing

Odlicno sletanje

Awesome flight, Nihad! (And landings are the hardest part.) You should go talk to Jen at the shop about getting a new or used pod harness. They are soooooooo much more comfortable than those knee hangers.

Nice, looks like Lookout Mountain in Tennessee

Majestic

Bello!

Fun flight! Some advice from a H4 (thousands of foot launch flights): 1. Keep running until you're in the air. Do not hop up into the glider before it lifts you. The end of your launch ramp does not look fun to fall into! 2.Pick a safer approach path for landing. I got the feeling you were wandering around until you were close enough to think about landing. Set up successive points in your mind starting from where you want to come to a stop on the ground all the way back up to where you are in the sky and fly through those points. 3. Keep your speed up throughout your landing. You were dropping fast downwind (next to the trees) due to insufficient airspeed and were too low and slow for my comfort when you turned 180 upwind though you handled it well. (My instructor was constantly telling me to speed up. I have a hard time watching my early flight videos. I was too comfortable flying low and slow). 4. Dive a little throughout final to make sure you have good airspeed control and round out and coast until you are a second beyond trim speed and then flare. You floated down and then flared. 5. Feel great about your successful flight! You're doing extremely well for your 25th flight. The things I'm telling you above will come naturally as you work on them over many flights. :)

good job

Nice!

Well done. 👍🏻

Nice!

Só faltou voar capotado, mesmo assim parabéns pelo vôo 👏👏👏👏👏

super super bro

Great start , wind and landing condition , supervised and documented , nice to see hang gliding still alive . I remember my first flight 1975 , all alone up on a similar mountain in Switzerland with my just received new Bill Bennet Glider , no idea how and where to land did I start over hills , power lines and Villages in to a unbelievable love affaire . I quit hang gliding 2007 :(

What I felt was wrong here, was the close flying over the houses, before landing.

My training hill was a sand dune so it was three steps forward and one step back on the way up. 😅😅🙃

I have added this video to our tv in the back room of the pro shop and we are going to require students to watch it with an instructor as part of the CHALK TALK before they fly off of the mountain the first time. Thanks for making a great video all new pilots can learn from!!😊😊😊

Relax!

This just popped up on my TH-cam suggestions. I launched you off the mountain that day. Great launch, flight and landing!! This video should be required viewing for all new pilots before they fly off the mountain. Excellent job missing all those puddles and sticking the landing!!!! Hope to see you again soon at LMFP.

I know they teach using different methods but I can't help pointing out two things. - hanging lower when fully prone with your hands on the control bar gives you much more control. -letting your arms go loose even when in the upright position is something you should do to help relax yourself. Reminds yourself that the glider trims itself. Your arms seemed very stiff which is understandable but prevents you from getting any input from the glider. Relax your arms and learn to let the glider fly more independently.

Remarkable!

Nice morning flight 🙂

Evala care. Vise ne letim ali bilo je super dok je trajalo!

I'd love to try one of those.

Spectacular, yet so calm.

Nice flight. It may help to visualize keeping your hips parallel to the base tube and not twisting the inside hip. You want to power and lean into that inside hip and have it "lead" the turn. At the 4:20 timestamp, you can see how you are turning left but your right hip is leading you right. You are a natural; you get this figured out, just keep flying, and your landing stomp was amazing! Great work!

Awesome Flight! Thanks for the video!!

That training hill is luxurious

I came there with a group from the University of Florida in 1985. I got exactly one flight off of that bunny hill before getting rained out. It is a great sensation flying that low. I milked it to the very end, almost touching the wheels before flaring out and sticking the landing. It’s still on my bucket list and this video, reminds me why.
