- This is the raw cockpit footage showing the run from Beer Head to Ladram Bay and then back again while on task. 5 beats gave a BGA ladder task distance of 63km. You may be able to get a feeling of how much fun I was having.

Loved it!!! Only thing that would have been better would have been to be flying on your tail 100 feet behind filming you! ;)
RIP!!! You was for me one of the best pilots of the world!
This video is what got me hooked on ridge soaring... I may not be flying as fast as this in my hang glider... but to me the sensation is the same... Thanks for the memories Matt... You are missed.
Stories tell he's still flying back and forth that coastline :)
The flying Dutchman!
That is one of the best soaring videos I've ever seen. It looks like so much fun. Thanks for posting it.
I keep imagining how cool this would look if I was one of the people walking along the cliff
Good to see you publishing new flights: I had an hour in the Discus yesterday in conditions that looked autumnal. Auckland is still warm, but the sky is quietening, so I look forward to virtual flying via your videos over the coming winter.
Yet another awesome video.. Really enjoy the raw footage format.
Thank you soo much for this video, after not being able to fly any more due to a change in financial circumstances, this made me feel so alive again just to watch!
Good to meet you at North Hill yesterday, thanks for the advice and enthusiasm - keep posting the videos.
Looks like a lot of fun... Lucky you that you have a playground like that close to your home. Great footage!
back at it with another amazing video
Oh my gosh, that's the best gliding video I've seen!! ^^
Must be freaking funny! :D
Great man!
Amazing, as usual! Keep working like that! 👍🏻
Very cool glider video, thanks for sharing the fun.
That looks simply epic!! I really need to get back into ridge flying!
After a hard working day, you make me laugh. Thanks a lot.
Keep up the good work Matt another great vid
Much More Enjoyable With Live Audio! Music Just Detracts From & Ruins Soaring/Gliding Videos! Well Done !👍
Unfurtunatly this very experienced pilot died in an accident in December 2016 after a winch launch failure during turbulent conditions. The sad but for glider pilots valuable details can be read in *AAIB_Bulletin_2-2018* page 32ff.
Love your music choices but would have been an injustice for this one!Laughter is perfect commentary . I'll be smiling for hours
Fantastic video. Great fun - I want a go!
As an aside, you have probably noticed already but your TE tubing has a leak, would be well worth fixing that.
Thanks for the great videos, keep it up!
The most fun you can have with your clothes on!
Who said he was wearing clothes?

Hey dude I didn't know you could cackle :-)
Looks like great fun!
Made my first lesson today. Thanks for the inspiration.
Awesome! That was rockin' and rollin' !!!!
Absolutely amazing
Brilliant, inspiring stuff! Can't wait to have a go myself :-)
the video is really good, congratulations, greetings from Uruguay ..
You appear to be a hoon master, or as they say in German Hoonmeister. Great vid
Nice Ground Rush! Funtastic!!👍👍
This is just awesome!
Outstanding!!!!
Fantastic ! Wow!
Dude thats awesome!
wonderful clip from cost gliding
Damn I am envious, haven't done that type of flying in 20 years :(
Yeah - that's how it should be done! Congrats and thanks.
That contagious laugh ! 😂
Sure have got to know your wingspan to do this ! cool vid :p
This must be from the newest Microsoft Simulator X, the visuals from these new graphics cards are amazing ;)
Awesome !!!!
Wow what a Glider Highway.
killer tube ride
Wouaw it's juste amazing !
You have one of the best gliding channel on TH-cam !!!! :D
And just, what is you're glider !?
amazing ;)
Just, fucking, awesome
Is there much risk of bird strikes? Nice video!
Awesome ;)
Rocks n Rolls thumbs up
Man are you having fun! :D
What was your top speed?
Awesome channel. Thanks for the posts!
Cheers,
Q
Hi, nice video what video editor do you use??
Hauling ass man!
Immense!
Is there a place to land If you had to land ? Low altitude and a lot of fun...nice video, greeting from France ;-)
Your Chanel is amazing just like Bruno
I like your asw 29? And one day I can pull off these manuvers
If you visit England come to colts world gliding club I would be honoured
Agree. Bruno has an awesome channel too. I’ve yet to see any night gliding .. of course not much to see at night. .. and I’m guessing Gliding at night probably doesn’t work so well because of no sunlight (heat) .
Zone Television gliders don't have lights so it would be highly dangerous to fly after sunset
glider-enthusiast Adam yes, also I think the idea of having some kind of power assisted take off or to keep the glider aloft longer is a good idea if not for extended range certainly for safety.
MAN i have got to come down to north hill
I was asking my self where he would go for a landing in case ridge lift decided to take a break for a few minutes.
How strong was the wind? judging by the look of the sea surface it couldn't have been very strong!
what is the name of the town at 3:18?
great video!
Hill looney! Caning it!
Matt, how do you guys coordinate/deconflict the airspace? It would suck big time to have someone 180 out of phase.
siiiiiiick! :p
WoW
are you keeping about 100 kts ? I cant read the speedo properly, are those numbers 80 and 110 ?
Not sure if it is the camera compressing the distance but looks like there is no way your wing will not clip the cliff at certain points in this flight.
Thanks for the reply, I think that is correct that the wide angle lens is making it look closer than it is.
looks like fun
Can you feed us some more data during the flight
R:I:P Matt Wright.....
Just out of curiosity, is this "Cliff Hooning" something special with real gliders? I am surprised, you as experienced soaring person, you discover a new playground!?
With RC-"gliders" it's common and the most intense experience... , with "dynamic" soaring ...
nice
You doing any commercial flying anymore?
🤟🏻
Full on .......
Well ..we now know where this got you
We all know what it gave him because he shared it with us. We have no way of knowing where it got him.
If you mean killed, "this" had nothing whatsoever to do with it. This did:
"During a glider winch launch in turbulent conditions the weak link parted. The pilot attempted
to fly a circuit to land near the launch point but the glider encountered significant sink and
had insufficient energy to complete the intended circuit. The pilot sustained fatal injuries in
the impact with the ground."
