This is my 1st video with a GoPro. I used Windows Live Movie Maker on my one year old laptop. I have a lot to learn. It took over 3 hours to upload to Youtube.I'm assuming that is due to my slow internet connection.
I usually only fly this site with my Falcon, due to the hike up to launch and LZ situation. I never would have flown my Litesport off the top, but the new Sport 2 is just so easy to handle. It makes the approach much less scary. I hope you like it.

This video reminds me of the old days when we would fly almost anywhere to get some airtime.
All of that just making over the trees and out of the hole and swamp for a great landing!
Yeehaa!!

Thanks for the comments guys. I think I had more fun creating the video than the actual flight. I know I had more fun creating the video than the actual flight.javascript:emoticon('Confused')

That looks like my kind of flying! Right down to popping my nose on launch with my Sport 2 and landing in tall vegetation (I'm working on eliminating both)! Enjoyed the vid and the music!

When I first started hanggliding in 1974, there was pretty much nothing I wouldnt do to fly
The gliders were lighter back then, but I used to hike up with mine to the top of a mountain here that was 1800' just to fly!!
Of course there was one time I had to hike back down and that was pretty much the end of that but the flites that I did get were worth it.
Your flight here sure reminded me of those days
