Experiencing a lockdown world through hang gliding - BBC World Service

[@mbbrosig]

Wolfi is a lot more than an outstanding ambassador and influencer to the sport! Flying with him is an experience that I will cherish for the rest of my life. With an upbeat attitude about life, Wolfi is always thinking of the next project and how to turn lemons into a lemonade. Thank you BBC for recognizing this amazing person who is always willing to help the next pilot. If any of you are ever in Interlaken or Valle de Bravo I'd recommend doing a flight with Wolfi.

I may not fly hangliders, but i do fly gliders. Being a bird, soaring the skies, It's an amazing feeling only a handful know about. Stay Safe Wolfi.

[@brianjack7066]

I am beginning my hang gliding life...it’s transcendent...thank you for this

[@danhardy7347]

Amazing creativity with the cameras as always, Wolfi. And that's a clean looking T2C! (Also, I hope you ignore any comments that say what you are doing is anything but awesome...hopeful more people do pick it up and you get a lot of students in 2021 👍)

I very much enjoy hang gliding videos. I owned and flew a couple gliders back in the 1970’s. I especially like the videos that allow me to hear the wind in the sail, rather than a favorite song. Thanks.

Back then the film was expensive at about $1 per photo, and 3/4 of them were duds.

[@freeasabird83]

You legend Wolfi

[@hencal71]

I'm learning the basics right now. Hope to fly this year !! thanks

[@CruserPutnam]

Live cheaper and play more, what a concept.

[@CruserPutnam]

Lol i bet they will :) but I understand that living in fear of things is a way of life. But is that a life worth living?

I discovered this sport this year and haven't stopped watching videos of it lol. This would be great in Ghana, we have the perfect weather and natural vegetation for exploring. I can't wait to learn ☺️

Well done man. Your message and footage are awesome.

[@snakedike]

Forget about the flying. Wolfi I'm geeking at the paint you put on the minivan. Haha, love your stuff.

[@AniasKroeger]

Beautiful

[@adznz11]

Good on ya Wolfie. Honestly I'm just struggling to get a van and a glider so I can just do that for a bit 😆. Did the grind till I literally blew my back out. Where did that get me? May as well do what makes us happy. Third year I have set the intention to learn hang glideing in NZ I know ilk get the funds too eventually when everything is paid off. Your videos and influence on this waaaay over looked form of natural aviation is a God send. You are the premier ambassador for this heavenly pursuit of this generation. I hope to help promote it too when I get there. The better the profile the better it will be for everyone! Great job 🙏

[@GreatEntrepreneur101]

You are amazing. How I wish I could fly too.

[@mwfdahveed1823]

Which is better? Paragliding or hang gliding?

[@bbingtube]

Hang. For fuller range of areobatic, speed, and responsiveness. Maybe like a Catalina 32 vs Hobie Cat 🤷🏼‍♂️ For unreal chill .. recumbent 🤙🏼 para

[@tomasruhmer1516]

off course hang gliding, have you ever seen a Bird that flies seated? i dont think so.
