Learning to Hang Glide - Ed Levin Park (1982)

How to learn hang gliding, as we documented it in Super 8mm sound film in 1982. Rob Engorn was our patient and skilled instructor. Carol stopped flying after a good ten-lesson taste of the sport. I kept at it and purchased a bright green hang glider and continued flying it until our first son was born in 1986. Fun times of our youth!

Thanks Carol for posting! Brings tears to my eyes watching this! I saw this video of course when I was much younger (duh). So many memories! Miss him! You were surely blessed to have Kim !

As a fellow student learning on Ed Levin in 2020-21, all I can say is thank you. That first launch off of the 600 is intimidating!

That!
Thanks for posting.
I enjoyed immensely.
Especially liked the smooth landing at the end.

Rob was my first instructor, very cool footage!

Very neat to watch. Lots of practice, lots of wipeouts, but it was all worth it in the end.
