Hang Gliding. First flight after 25 years.

After 25years I make my return to hang gliding.

Bravo to you for getting back in the harness after 25 years! I am 41 and just recently had my first hang gliding lesson and I am hooked and will be getting my ratings as soon as spring breaks here. Thanks for the awesome vid and keep it up!

I like the video, the site and your coming back to the wing! Congrats! (I'm new in hang gliding)

[@dwightbernheimer331]

Good for you sir. But after 25 years, I would have gone with a Paraglider. For a whole bunch of reasons. Enjoy many more years.

[@acrazedmaniac]

get off those down tubes and onto the base bar..right after take off..eh? What a beautiful place to fly!!! check out my first time back here ... also.

[@Mynameisbraulio]

That was clean and perfect

I personally don't like hooking in on a ramp - even if you have a nose wire guy. It didn't show it, but it looked like you didn't know you weren't hooked in and did a hang check around 1:39 then had to crawl back and hook in. Your left wire guy goes "That's ONE.." around 1:48. Also, it looked a lot like your were kiting your glider on that ramp as well... testing the air before launch. Hope you get over all those bad habits!!! :)

[@garrykennedy5484]

Aren't you supposed to check the wind to make sure the air is even on both wings?

Hey... congratulations, that place is a great site. I recently got back myself after 23 years. But since I'm in Florida I never did towing. So, I'm training for this flat lands being tow with an ultralight.

Hang checks are way less effort than funerals bub.

[@79havanna]

Very nice :)

[@Pete_R63]

Just checked my logbook and it has been a little over 24 years since my last cliff launch flight and not counting a couple of tandems I did last year. Hoping to make my own comeback or 'triumphant return' to flying soon. Great video.

[@VictorBoba]

No hang check?

[@MrLiftHog]

These days pilots leave the harness attached as part of the setup. I'm old school and unhook after the hang check, then reattach before take-off. So yes it was done.

[@MUNCHER2003]

Congratulations mate! I only just found this. Well done for getting in the air again. I'm told its like riding a bike, the muscle memory will still be there. Beautiful site, certainly beats muddy England which is currently being battered by a series of Atlantic depressions.

I love your videos, congratulations on getting back into hang gliding! It's nice to see some summer from up here on the frozen side of Earth! Many happy flights to you!

[@MrFlyRide]

Excellent! Seems like you and I made our return home in the same year. I got back into it after a considerably shorter break of only 14 years. Ain't it great? I'll subscribe and see how you progress.
