Very nice! thumbsup How often does the coast turn on? Is it a seasonal pattern?
That's a very nice set-up, thanks for the ride.

Didn't realize Denmark had cliffs that large.

Video is made by my friend Dennis, i am flying with him in the video.
From where i live there is ridge soaring possibilities with every wind direction within a 1 - 2 hours drive.
Ridges used in Denmark is between 10 to 90 meters high, some is less than 1km long others you can fly along for up to 15km.
It is very good training, but we are all waiting for spring to fly thermals and xc from the towing sites.
This one is new pilots on the same site.

This one is another site much lower but 15km long.

I'm right here Wink

I hardly ever do ridge soaring. I'm waiting for spring when we open our airfield and begin towing again.

Flemming, Dennis and I fly in the same club www.drageflyvning.dk thumbsup

- Flemming is a very experienced instructor and competition pilot. He holds the Nordic distance record in a tandem.

- I'm a weekend pilot and vice chairman in our club.

- Dennis is Denmark's coming acro hero. You just want and see popcorn
