  • I put this together a few months ago which shows a few clips of the hours of footage that I've taken over the years. I've picked what I think are my most memorable moments. Mostly takeoffs and landings with some other action.

    Amazing video with great music, the clip with 140 gliders in one thermal was epic

    Hi, I see you resting your wrists forward on the main control bar,and I immediately thought of the tri bars on my bike. You could fit a very lightweight pair? Carbon fibre with a neoprene piece to rest your wrists on. Wouldn’t be expensive. I enjoyed the vid. Thanks.

      It wouldn't be suitable for hang gliding as they'll tangle with aerotow bridles and limit your movement in when your legs are out for launching and landing.
      Glad you liked the video!

    Nice collection of clips - very cool flying. I crashed and had a setback but got back into the sport this year and having a good time - wish I could fly where you’ve flown! Quick question: how do you get your glider over-seas to the various locations like Brazil?

    • @HarrisonRowntree
      @HarrisonRowntree  Před 9 měsíci

      The Brazil trip was organised by one of our team pilots who worked in logistics at the time and managed to air freight all our gliders over in one go. It's challenging as their customs are strict on the importing of stuff and they want to make sure you take it out of the country when you're done. The China trip was special as the Moyes dealer who invited us over gave us new geckos to fly for the week before they were sold to pilots there. He wanted some experienced pilots to come over and show the up and coming Chinese pilots what sort of cross country flying is possible with practice. They're getting quite good now! It was such a good trip.

      @@HarrisonRowntree That’s awesome, thanks for the info - sounds like you got some nice deals! Part of what excites me is traveling to different places to fly. I hope you continue to have success with your flying!

    Why does every youtuber with a glider think music and flying go together... You cant fricken fly in a music studio or concert hall....

    • @HarrisonRowntree
      @HarrisonRowntree  Před 7 měsíci

      Probably because the sound of wind noise and a vario is tiring after a few minutes.

      @@HarrisonRowntree to some i suppose youre right... but to me music is just a cheap and lazy way of getting out of narrating the flight - which i always enjoy listening to as long as the flyer isnt whooping and hollering every three minutes. i like the wind and the vario... makes me feel more into the flight.
