Epic hang gliding (Flying high in the snow mountains) Shot entirely with GoPro

A flight from Nova Gorica to snow mountains. Music from artist 5vel, soundcloud.com/5vel

[@HarrisonRowntree]

Many years ago in South Australia, we had a pilot who was a paraplegic who flew a hang glider! He learned before he was a paraplegic, but it is possible to do. Hang gliding is a sport/hobby that requires a lot of determination and a huge passion for flight. If you're really, REALLY keen, then paraplegic or not - the skies the limit.

Man this is unreal.. Gets me thinking I'm not doing shit with my life when I see something like this.

[@alf6259]

DID YOU DO IT YET WELL DID YA IF NOT DO IT DO IT DO IT, I'M YELLING NOW SORRY I GET EXCITED.

[@dimitristripakis7364]

DO IT !

[@eltipoboricua]

this was realy amazing, mad props. after skydiving, this quote stayed with me. "For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

[@aliceauroraliddell]

I will be learning to glide in four weeks. I'm stoked out of my mind!!! This video was the catalyst for my decision to become a full fledged solo pilot, and I watch your videos every day for inspiration!! Thank you for inadvertently being my hang glide hero!! 😁👍👍😁

[@acqe2463]

So how's it 3 years later? Are you still gliding?

[@TheFireGoose]

Yeah how it goin?

[@shelley2he844]

This is mind blowing to me. Nerves of steel and the courage of a lion, it looks so dangerous and terrifying and its also wonderful because your flying like a bird. I wish I wasnt afraid of doing thrilling things like this, I just don't have balls for it. This video and footage - amazing.

[@benyaminweiss5939]

great music, really matches the mood:)

[@FlyingFelix1]

Spectacular video. Top of my list, awesome scenery and great song. I hope I can come and fly there someday. It's not too far from where I grew up.

[@MatjazKlemencic]

You re welcome to come and fly this yourself ;)

[@ShutterAuthority]

Absolutely amazing! How much altitude did you gain on this flight?

[@proffzulus]

As always - beautiful flight, perfect landing.

[@MrLeonardoLana]

This video made my passion for the sport even bigger, i'm gonna start to do this as well, i just hope that is not that hard as i think. Thanks for the inspiration

[@brainy_forex]

Congratulations! You made it to heaven. What a fabulous day!

[@F00tyb0y10]

Dat landing tho! Awesome video, you have a great chunk of courage in you, you have to to do that! Looking forward to more videos like this! Keep making them!

[@g3tmoore]

Awesome video. Music is Siberia by Lights

[@rosalieholland25]

Which remix? There are many videos of the same song but different remixes I can't find this one

[@Broncomatt33]

Tyler Moore 5vel remix

[@Broncomatt33]

Matt Plays 5vel remix

[@MrLeonidasJLG]

That looks Amazing.. I would love to try it once

[@geraldosalazar641]

Jorge Luis Gonzalez, you should be able to start locally, there are a couple of clubs and schools. Its the greatest feeling!!!

[@MrLeonidasJLG]

Thanks Geraldo, I will look into it.

[@geraldosalazar641]

Bd. Start with LLU.

[@jacoboquiles2009]

[@MatjazKlemencic]

Thanks man!

[@xXxXCIVICXxXx]

Amazing, you guys are so brave!!! awesome music too, love the view, this video is literally up there

[@johnmcnicholas1589]

Beautiful site and nice flying / well done

[@cfroemming17]

Spectacular video and even better landing! Thanks for the upload.

[@Slears]

Thanks Man..and of course I will talk to the Instructors first. I am just searching the Internet for all this stuff..just to see what is there. Luckily I live right on the Alps, with a Hanggliding School 10 Minutes away

[@filipprloghanggliding]

Simply Magnificent!

[@ilseolive178]

Absolutely wonderful! Thanks so much for allowing a granny to experience that! (Where was this done/filmed?)

[@MatjazKlemencic]

Thanks Ilse :) It was filmed in country Slovenia, Soča valley

[@bergsi]

best video since a long time

[@lukenicol]

Incredible video- thank you very much.

[@JonMcG]

excellent , brilliant Vid , well done

[@antoinettebingzate286]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@GryphonJota]

Great film ...really beautifully done !

[@miasemidey]

I was just casually watching hang gliding videos and then I hear my girl Lights! :D

[@MatjazKlemencic]

Great music

[@AndrewRidgeNZ]

Incredible...thanks Matjaz, I always look forward to your videos :)

[@haddieman]

Such a great video. Inspiring. I hope to fly there someday.

[@CustomcrowdMitroc]

The music is perfect for this video. Good pick

[@adrienvillez]

Amazing video ! The place where you shot the video is beautiful ! I would be scared to death to do that..... what if you fall down like a rock !!!!

[@janplexy]

Svaka čast! Odličan video i još bolji let! Pozdrav iz Pule! ;)

[@johnd1431]

Great work! That’s really inspire me.

[@JapaJennaBee]

I was surprised when I heard the music! I didn't think she was that well-known. The song is Siberia by the singer LIGHTS.

[@curlyexcile]

had to return the thumbs up, awesome video.

[@antonysloan6110]

The best music is no music just the sound of the wind rushing past, would be a lot better,the movement plus elements is music in itself.

[@user-cx9zo9en5q]

very nice edit, well done!

[@simonmenkes4005]

Cool music...great views!

[@Ed-Mace]

Awesome video.Did some skydiving around 28 jumps or so.Nothing like this obviously! Great landing!

[@funnypranksgonewrong]

absolutely beautiful!

[@spookymulder9048]

That was wicked!!!!

[@LINQ0311]

Pretty amazing man, I had no idea you could travel on these like you did. Where would a person look if they were seriously interested in learning how to hang glide on their own?

[@WELTERWillClineYah99]

Thanks, that was amazing to watch.

[@punkdiko]

Awesome video man :) what type of gopro you used to film this (hero 3 Black edition)? I'm just learning to fly with hang glider and want to record my first flight on cam :)

[@vapula01]

I love your videos

[@genealonso497]

Breathtaking!! Id love to do it., and I will.

[@TheBlueBlurBlue]

wow i want to learn how to fly by hang gliding good video and beautiful music :D thank you for making this video

[@lukec71]

landing, Like a BOSS!

[@MrSuperpocoloco]

Great video Matjaz :) Maybe someone already has asked you but... Do you listen to music while being up there?

[@TheVladimirHD]

Adijo pamet, hud video, lep razgled ;)

[@junjun671]

It's been six years since I stopped hang gliding after experiencing injuries from a fall during my first flight training in a small mountain. My instructor recommended paragliding instead of hang gliding. And then he made me depressed by saying that I don't have a good motor controlling sense(wtf?) So he slightly recommended me to switch paragliding. That experience gave me a fear of heights, which led me to quit hang gliding. When I first started, I watched this video and dreamed of this sports. but now again, watching this video after a long time, I want to train again.

[@robertsiegl8164]

From my point of view the "big" picture is that hang gliding is aweseome, but you have to have full determination in starting and landing. On a training hill it becomes really intense because you have to perform start and landing in a really short sequence with a good technique. Flying on a real, "regular" mountain is imho much easier because there is much more time between start and landing. TLDR: don't get discouraged, it's an awesome sport, try to find a decent HG flying school nearby

[@ecoturismovalle1570]

Awesome video Matjaz thanks for sharing!! Where was this filmed at??

[@MatjazKlemencic]

Thanks :) Soca valley /Slovenia

[@chewnupandspitout]

one word . AWESOME !

[@OshinoMan]

Beautiful!!

[@brookcrenwick]

incredible footage!!

[@archiebob11]

Be-au-ti-ful 😁👍

[@flytamers7957]

How did you connect GoPro in the front? What kind of device did you use for this? I am thinking how to use GoPro on my hangglider - want the same in the front.

[@adrienvillez]

Its just amazing what we can do now with a few pieces of pastil, iron, etc.. Maybe because I'm scare of height that I don't really rush to make a try !

[@MrStoubie]

Fantastic.

[@buffgangbangingleprechaun]

Dude, my frickin urinal exit spot would literally feel high

[@kittehy]

O.o LIGHTS!

[@shaunacampbell4918]

Speechless

[@Glide4447]

Perfect, I like it.

[@joram80]

Amazing!! How far did you fly? and How long?

[@PYE172]

nice flight i am from the uk . i was in a field 4 weeks ago and this h glider did a landing in this field . as i was just siting down haveing a smoke . and pilot told me he had come 90 miles away and had been up to 5500 ft and been up for 8 hours . but he did say he had been a pilot for 25 years

[@kindafoggy]

I think at that altitude they are flying with one hand-thrown 'chute and one ballistic 'chute (and hopefully oxygen). Maybe that's what's on the control bar? I wonder how high Matjaz was flying. 15,000 feet? Any flyboys take a guess?

[@matteup1502]

This video alone made me want to get into hang gliding!

[@rgqwerty63]

wow nice!! that looks scary as hell though

[@lucianocruzfreitas]

This is na amazing vídeo, thank's for shared with us.

[@cybergal99]

wow, this is amazing? What density was it shot in?

[@foxhunter5535]

nice fly.. keep safe thanks for the video

[@CustomcrowdMitroc]

What country is that. great video

[@HGAviator]

I knew you had some sort of stabilizer.... I own a VerZoom Aviator MX camera stabilizer (Steadicam). And I recognized the smooth action. Very nice!

[@RandomDC123]

how do hand gliders stay up in the air? Is it the wind? And what if the wind just stops, will you fall?

[@kiddcook]

Hey, Im looking to get into hang gliding but I am just curious on a few questions. Can you fly further on hang gliders than paragliders? How old were you when you started hang gliding? And are there competitions you can do?

[@MatjazKlemencic]

Hey Mark, with a hang glider you are faster, but it does not mean that you are longer because of that. Its the pilot skills that take you further. I was 15 when I started, lucky with best father in the world. Comps, yes of course, we compete in time over the course of 100 or 200 km and more. Find a nearest school and start ;)

[@PeaceNinja007]

I wish we could use these to go to work everyday :/

[@milksno.1fan313]

You could if you have a cliff nearby

[@HangingwithJoe]

awesome dude

[@TheHadMatters]

It would require more words to describe the envy you have excited in me, than KZbin lets me use. Decently filmed, and seemingly, you have also proven skillful control of your technique, because you make what is shown seem effortless - and I have heard this sport is *always* complex to handle. My admiration on all that. I am presently researching what I will require to start my training in hang gliding. This should be a very special treat, and I could not be looking forward to it any more. =)

[@michaelambler8385]

Love the music on this video, who is it???

[@jake263]

This reminds me the Ikran, the Na'vi culture, looks so free in the sky. I don't know how is it feeling being in the sky like this... no sound of engine, quite flying like a bird... maybe, you were free...

[@bopewka]

Such a cool places and view! I wish i had that big experience, but i fly only beginner glider. My dream is to fly different places, to be a good pilot.

[@MatjazKlemencic]

Sleas, its a pod for gps and vario meter instruments that we use to fly with.

[@MatjazKlemencic]

some good and expensive stuff there :) Mine is out of a bit of lead and a small bearing... Maybe one day ;)

[@user-wb1qo3cx9l]

This is my most watched video of 10 years

[@HGAviator]

How did you get such a smooth steadicam style shot when you were walking towards your hang glider with you your harness from the vehicle?

[@sanjanayarlagadda8592]

What mount did you use to capture this?

[@SolarianN2]

Awesome.

[@CarlosMolina-eg7sb]

hello Matjaz, how much is the cost for one of those gliding..& how long is training..?

[@MatjazKlemencic]

Hi Carlos, for 2000 € you can get your self a full gear for learning. Don't know, with good school you can be your own pilot in 6 months I guess :)

[@CarlosMolina-eg7sb]

Thank you Matjaz God bless you. I enjoy your videos

[@av8rchase]

Amazing

[@jackbarlow924]

Ello mate where could i pick up that black glider that was off to the right of the video?

[@Tackleberry666]

Hvala! Veliko varnih letov še naprej.

[@Slears]

Hi Matjaz, ;o) sorry I meant the right Side of the Bar...but meanwhile I read about Variable Geometry that`s what that lace does. But the Pod for the Flight Instruments is a good Point. Where do I get one of those?! I seem not to find them anywhere...I am searching for all this Stuff, becauese I want to start Hangliding next Year

[@infrawiz]

Are you a Lights fan?

[@vanillastraps]

What song is this? also incredible video... one day maybe ill build up the courage to do this...!

[@MatjazKlemencic]

Siberia Lights, 5vels remix ;)

[@Tackleberry666]

Tole je tolk dobr da kar sezuje. Kako se lotiš tega športa? Priporočaš kak klub?

[@Willeeum8293]

How do you get sponsored to do this kind of thing? I can't get over how cool this is..

[@HGAviator]

Nice!

[@GaryfromMemphis]

Awesome! Can you take a passenger?

[@CyberPsyLen]

EPIC!

[@puoni7]

sei un grandeee
