Hi Johnny, a great flight in turbulent air and a great save! 2 comments: 1. It looks that you are being hanged too high above speedbar, as a result, your body weight is less effective when trying to turn and you need to invest more power with your arms to maneuver. 2. Also looks that you are not in full lying position, seems like 30% standing. This reduce the glide ratio.
Hola ,muchas saludes ..amigo te puedo hacer varias recomendaciones 1: tu posición de vuelo está mal, estás volando muy parado , eso dificulta el control , sobre todo en días con condiciones fuertes . 2: revisa tu arnés en tierra,busca dónde colgarte , busca ayuda y cuadras bien las cuerdas para que fu cuerpo quede más acostado , así tus brazos no quedan tan estirados y vas a poder tener un mejor control. 3: lubrica el zipper del arnés para que esté más suave, 4: nunca enrolles tu mano en la cuerda para cerrar el arnés.. 5: antes de cerrar el arnés ,sobre todo en días turbulentos,,primero alejate de la montaña para cerrarlo,, 6 : nunca descuides el vuelo por ir incómodo en el arnés, 7 : escoje mejor tu día para ir a volar , evita volar en días calurosos o con posibilidades de turbulencia , más si estás empezando a volar ,, muchos saludes, y mucha suerte , Atentamente: Miguel F. Matta Instructor de vuelo.
what the hell were you doing? the harness set up is really awful. you're flying almost standing up the whole time with you having to control the glider hanging on to the uprights. i'd suggest finding someone that can help you sort out this at the very least. you must be pretty strong to not lose your strength during flying this way having to constantly do pitch inputs...good luck.
Ok , the shut on your chest ask for more height , your hang in procedure and your harness with that stuck sipper making me nervous , painful to watch , happy landing to you :)
In 46 years of hang gliding I have never reversed my grip on the control bar like that - something is very wrong. Does the glider tend to dig into turns which is causing the reverse grip to push your body weight uphill ?
هذا الاختراع الافظل والأخطر في العالم ان حدث شي في الطائره الشراعية لاتستطيع انقاذ نفسك لايوجد مظلة ظهر اتمنى لك السلامه دائما تحيه لك من العراق هذا الاختراع جعلني فرحا ولايهمني اي شي من بعده هذا ما اتمناه❤
This looks like a great site to fly. Where is it? Glad you hooked a boomer and had a great flight. This is either one of the most turbulent flights I've ever watched, or your camera mount was bouncing around. When it's that bumpy, I usually land. Before take off, you were messing with our hang loops, but once you got hooked in, you didn't do a hang check. You should do that on every flight, but especially when your lines are confused or messed up. Sorry to lecture. Fly safe.
Obviously the RH down tube is bent and the harness level and hook in ajustement could be improve ...besides that nice place to fly....is this a oldie but goodie WW Sport 167 poor mans glider ...
I see a lot of comments about the way you've set up your harness so you hang nearly upright, with your arms extended nearly straight to reach the control bar, and the way you frequently change your grip. I'm an ignorant noob to modern hang gliding, just starting lessons (When I flew before in the early to mid 70s I flew seated on a swing seat!). So, could you please share the rationale of your harness set up?
Is that your boots sticking out of the bottom of the harness? If you can't get them inside then the harness is not adjusted right either spend some serious time adjusting it or get a new one that fits. Flying is so much easier and enjoyable when the harness is set up right. Says the pilot whose harness is now to big having lost 5 stone😂.
saw this vid..recognized it.. flew this site many times myself..Woodrat Mnt ,Ruch oregon..late evening glass offs are very nice ,smooth air..mid afternoons can get rowdy.. 1200 fpm up an ..great save ..wow.. elevator up..thanks JL

Hanging way too high bro, chest should almost be on the basebar, no wonder it looked like u were out of control the whole time

Agree a bit too high hang point
What a beautiful day for flying! You ROCK! We miss you!
are you feet out of the end of the harness?

I'm returning to hangliding after 20 years. I see so much wrong here !
😂😂😂😂😂
ueh you missed a lot 😂
What is your right hand So busy trying to do?
Congratulations on the low save, but in all the years of hangliding I dont remember it being that uncomfortable.
I'm not sure it was actually a low save! I mean, with so much wrong, landing asap would've been the order of the day
Stracony :)
WORK IT! GO JOHNNY GO!!!!

One fist always worked good for me!!!
It would be better if you played a soothing song instead of this wind sound

واضح انك غير مرتاح وأن كنت مبتدئ فه الحق معك
A me viene un sospetto non riesci a perdere quota mi sa di principiante?
Way too gusty for my liking
