YA DAWG that was a sweet compilation. You should move to hollywood. How many bushes you kick there?? haha.
I love when we were up at launch. It was you, me, and paraglider pilot
I fly off
paraglider pilot : "that just does not look right."
Dave : "haha, it never does, have a good one dood!!!"

Looks fun you guys. You're flying!
But I got to say, being a paraglider pilot Speed Gliding looks to me like the longest landing approach ever. It just keeps going and going and going . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
lol.
Edit:
By the way, I do like the unique launch technique of throwing the wing into to wind and instant inflate without touching the ground. Cool.
Can't even possibly try that with my paraglider. Would not work. Perhaps in a gale force wind, but then I wouldn't be flying.
