Quick flight from the backyard, 11 minute hike back up, good for practicing

This one was heavier than 7/10 flights I’d say, but I’ve seen you sir and you are no athletic slouch, you’d be fine. 

Thermals had started when I took off which like to give you some lift. As I was coming in I did a little swoop but it buoyed back up a bit. When that happens you know the other side is coming in a little bit hotter. The experience part tells you to expect those things and hold some options in reserve to help manage them as you come down. In this case I had enough flap control left to use a lot more than normal and it was still relatively soft.

how intense is that moment of impact? easy to get injured?

The danger is in the wind and how adept you are with talking to your wing. The entry level is stupid lowkey, I was told, because they’ve done it, that you can push someone off blackout drunk and all will go well 😂 (surroundings matter for this) 

It’s chill, the bar steps up if you want to learn to fly them during different ranges of wind. So you can choose your own adventure. I know plenty of dudes that fly just the mellow evening glass-off and life is the best

I prefer not to let anyone know tbh, I don’t let someone know before I go mtb or skate, this doesn’t feel different  to me

Woah that's so cool. Wonder if you let anyone know before you go there on your own just in case 😅. Does the "fall" hurt in any way when touching the ground?

Yeah GoPro. I had the 360 and thought it was better but it wouldn’t stream to unlonely

There’s a persons “r” risk and then there’s “R” Risk. Then there’s also the persons “c” control and the “C” total potential Control you can gain. 

It’s not this, but something like this

R / (r * c)

Exercising and flying in nature sounds great, but isn't it a bit risky?

Worst injury I’ve had, I’ve had 3x 😂

Sometimes I just really want to know if I can lunch something that looks questionable and I’m willing to experience a certain amount of risk. This has resulted in some quality road rash, but nothing a shower and sleep doesn’t solve 

MTB fucks me up more. Flying obviously has a more abrupt failure mode

How many times have you gotten injuries from this, I don’t want to believe it’s 100% safe

I frequently I’ll get a partial collapse, those are mostly my fault when they occur from miss timing weight shift, but overall quite manageable

That is awesome and you stuck the landing! I would be so scared to try that. Have you ever had a malfunction while in the air?

I started at 35. The dude who mentored me was hilariously also afraid of heights

im scared of heights but this is so cool. at what age did you start this hobby?

7 years and 1600 flights now. I saw knew that was coming so I had a lot of options in my wing left for how to manage it, glad it gave you a little pucker though 😂

How long have you been practicing buddy?
That landing was surreal, at first my heart skipped thinking you’d have a hard fall

Just a dude that likes to have a good time 🫡

this felt so good to watch. i was worried about the landing😂
how long you been doing this?

Depends, right now I’ve been low at 2-3 times a month, there are times I’ll do that in a day for weeks straight though, so depends on the season ;)

You’re giving me ptsd of my landing 😂
This was satisfying to watch icl

This is where you live? Looks like a dream come true for me

quick flight from the backyard? you live in the woods?

Oh this is speed winging too? 

I definitely want to be a maestro like you at this soo bad 🫠
