Breathtaking hang-gliding flight in Mexico [Narrated]

Feb 2022.

[@RBWARNER]

What a great flight! I love the timeline of your decision making process and and also to learn many things about the area! These conditions were amazing and its glorious you have such great footage to capture it. Great content on every level!. I'll be sending people this video if they ask me what Valle is like. :)

[@sohamhanggliding]

Thanks Rick! It's all about sharing the love of flying.

[@sandrainthesky1011]

That was a nice tour for us that haven't been there yet! Well narrated too, thank you and Buena vuelo!

[@RishiRamraj]

I just got back from Valle after spending some time in Colima. Just a single flight off El Pinion but it was awesome.

[@Mbfly8]

Great video!

[@matfly4832]

Awesome video, awesome flight! Love that place and its inhabitants. I strongly suggest you visit during the Classic Race. Best flying of the year, 50 HG to fly with.

[@sohamhanggliding]

Yes, last year I went before the race intentionally, to experience the place and flying at a relaxed pace without the competition stress. I plan to go for the competition in 2024.

Beware of Montezuma’s revenge there. Took me out for days.

[@sohamhanggliding]

Sorry to hear that. I didn't have any digestive issues there, and I really enjoyed the local food.

Love from Pakistan sir how much hangliding is safe tell it in percentage thanks

[@sohamhanggliding]

That question doesn't have a real answer. You can find some statistics somewhere to tell you what percentage of hang-gliding flights result in an accident or death, or how many per year, but those are usually not accurate and don't reflect the reality that this sport is safe or as dangerous as you (the pilot) want it to be. Of course, like with any form of aviation, you can have really bad luck and crash when nothing could have saved you. I have had a few such accidents, but been lucky enough to not have a serious injury. But a vast majority of time, you can be in control with good training to make sure you can launch and land in a variety of conditions, take good care of your gear, and know when the conditions are or could get beyond your skill level. Another margin of safety can be added by always flying with a group so someone is there to check you at launch and help you if you have an accident. Hang-gliding safety is a deep topic that I can discuss for hours, but hope this helps to answer your question.

Hey Soham. Great video, thanks! I'm looking for someone to help me with an in-person site intro at Lake McClure. As of this writing, it's Apr 4, 2022. Any help you can give me with this will be much appreciated!

[@sohamhanggliding]

Hi Don, we would be happy to help you fly at McClure, but it's important for us to know your experience level first. You can check the website of the McClure club and also contact them on Facebook (you can find the club with the same name) mlsralakemcclure.wixsite.com/lakemcclurehg/contact

@@sohamhanggliding Hey Soham, don't know what happened to my original reply, but I answered this on Sun Apr 11. Unfortunately, the reply post disppeared! Here it is, again: I've been a Hang IV hg pilot (current) since the early 90s (so, for around the last 30 years). All my equipment burned up in the California Butte fire back in 2015, and have only recently had the chance to replace my gear. I also took a launch & landing clinic with Pat Denevan of Mission Soaring recently. Also, I have flown McClure once many years ago. Thanks for the McClure club web link. I've also flown Ed Levin, Mission Peak, Marina, Mt Diablo, Hull, Pillsbury, Slide, McClellan, Peavine, Funston, Mt. Tam, Dunlap, Tollhouse, Big Sur, Dinosaur, Telluride, Paradox, and in the Owens (McGee, Walt's Point, Gunther, and Tom's(?) I'm kind of retired, now, and am available to fly most any time. Please contact me at my email address: [e-mail]. I'd love to hook up with you or anyone who can give me an in-person site intro. I think McClure is going to be my new home flying site, as it's the closest to my current location (Mountain Ranch). Thanks again and hope to hear from you soon!

Hey everyone, I'm looking at getting into hang gliding but I can't find any for sale, if anyone has any good sellers please let me know? Thanks

[@sohamhanggliding]

You cannot just buy a hang-glider in a store - and if you do find one somehow, you would be taking a serious risk flying it without learning under expert supervision. The first step is to find a teaching school near you. They can help you buy your own gear after proper training.

what an awesome video 👍
