What is Hang Gliding

This is a 5-min video FOR INSTRUCTORS that breaks an intro lesson into it's most basic parts, and stresses that teaching needs to be a progression of smaller steps, guided in accordance with the fundamentals of instruction. We can not teach someone to launch if they struggle with picking up the glider, and we can't put them in the air until we've taught them how to land first. The end goal is creating that 'Eureka' moment and hooking the student on hang gliding... and we do this by ensuring their first flights are a hugely positive and fun experience. Regarding the technical content of this lesson, I understand different schools might follow a slightly different progression depending on the syllabus or training facilities available to them (such as teaching wheel landings to start out). This video is an example of A PROGRESSION, not "THE" progression (this is what has worked best for the Voights). The key is the WAY it's taught- progression, clear & simple cues, and with an emphasis on the things that bring people back. We as a whole can't afford to lose any potential pilots! At face value this video provides new instructors with an excellent 'canned' intro lesson. Going deeper for more experienced instructors, the video stresses and demonstrates a lot of the complexities of instruction, be it an intro hang gliding lesson or anything else- taking something complex and delivering it in simple and straightforward, piece by piece steps.

http://www.epictv.com This is probably the closest to flying you'll ever get. Flo Orley takes us with him on board his specially tuned hang glider near Chamonix in the Alps, where we join him for high speed maneuvers, high above the ground. With the glider cutting through the air as fast as 150 km/h, man's dream of flying has never been so close. Enjoy the breathtaking views and video camera angles, let them whisk you away into a dream for a few minutes, knowing that the sky has no limits...

First time hang gliding at Mirador del Rio. Wind blew straight onto the point (North wind), resulting in Lee turbulence right after take-off, which was unfortunately not apparent on the ground. The most challenging take-off I had so far and by far. Not to be in full control so close to the ground is certainly not a pleasurable experience. Once above the terrain, the air was stable and we could soar on both sides of the cliff, which should normally not be possible (hence the challenging take-off). The scenery is absolutely breathtaking and I feel blessed to have been able to soar here! Since I landed just ahead of a fast approaching gust front, resulting turbulence didn't make it easy to keep the glider straight and the higher speed needed to be able to make ground against the strong wind resulted in pilot induced oscillations (not something I usually do). But I did make the small beach at Orzola and was stoked about the nice flight. Enjoy watching
