I dearly miss my flying days in the late 1970's as a high schooler at Black Mountain in San Diego, California. (little black as it was often referred to) I had an Electra Flyer, Cirrus III, high performance glider. My favorite thing to do was speedrunning!!! Flying low and fast got my adrenaline pumping!!! Way better than sex!!! I only wished that go-pros were around in those days so that I would not have to rely on just memories. I am now too old to continue the sport. Best regards, Temo Gracia, P.E.
The other day I watched a video of two pilots past 80 and rocking top landings in Australia. A teen in late 70s... So you are like, only 60ish? Go get your ass off the couch and start flying again man. I've seen a bunch of pilots well past that age and doing amazing flying.
@@georgehunter2813 No music is finer. Much finer! Would love to have heard the sound of air rushing by instead of someone else's idea of 'entertainment'.
Of course. Only a flyer would understand that. Use to fly with a full face helmet. I dump it so I can hear the wires sing out the subtle changes in speed during tight snowboard style ridge tracing flight.
Dang... doesn't anyone make hang gliding videos without out shitty music? Just give us the real sounds, please. And no fast speed editing. Thanks. We don't all have ADD. Just saying.

How old are you now? In youtube I've seen many older HG pilots. Was wondering what age is too old

LOL Made that cars driver a little nervous. Great flying.
Wow, sweet memories of flying fast past Back Beaches ridge - but this multiplies that by 10
Really cool flights! Thanks for sharing the fun with us! :D
Car stopping at 3:10 is pure gold
Fantastic!
If you choose not to add music , this could of been one of the best Hang gliding vids on CZcams
haha I believe Swiss men and their music is not equal to their flying..ha love it
The music is fine. Lively action momentum is just like the downhill speedrun.

Awesome!!!! :-)
Little bit like #TopGun
Great visuals, but music spoiled it for me. Volume off. Missed the sound of air rushing by.
Cool 😎 👍
No music next time please

Pilots enjoy that, general public doesn't. Harsh reality. Make a nice edit and you get 20x the views.
