www.freedomswings.com right after i broke my back 2 weeks after i git out of tyhe hospitol i actualy grew up right under where thety woukld release from tow so i watched em daily all my lid[fe and had gone up just for a ride when i was maybe 12? but after breaking my back i started taking lessons the wid]kdest feeling was spins..crod]ss control stalls the noe drops it starts to spin not increasing speed like a spiral dive the oyp[utter wing still hassome lift the inner 1 nothing and i was looking straight down at the roof of a house i lived in temoporaril with 1 of nmy best freinds 9an old hippie comune turned into a couple houses) and it was just sopinning beliw me weird feeling also hawks would cu[]ircle right off your wing tip closenough to make eye contact..magical we also had an old luftwafe glider pilot trainer who then trained theentire isreali aitrforce in the 1st jets we tried dog fighting him in a thermal 1 time we wre above him and did a diving tightturn ti get on his 6 .. he disapeared out f the sky in a blink of the eye he could only be in 1 spot..directky behind us out id]=f sight with i[us in his sights..lol we couldnt spit him therest og[f the flugygt
i had many 5 plus hour fluights from just a 300 foottow (typicakl 300 foottow your down in 20 min if you dong=t get thermals 5 hiurs yu earn a faa badge if yiu have recording equip and or an observger) and only ame down cause had people waiting for me..i miss flying
my dream is to build a ultralight soarable glider that issolar with a self launching/sustainer motor and fly it coatto coast
i have a few soaring vids ijn my vids
og[h i wantto wac=ve soar someday too
waves are downwind of mountains are standing waves that when yiu get in them u stay stationary ob[ver the ground anf=d go straight up ..fast.. 1 guy wearing a space suite made it to thre stratoshere in a glider! ..higher then jets fly
with no engine
buttypicaly they only go up to 30-60 thousanf][d feet cause too hu[igh and yioyr blod boils without a pressure suite (space suire)
i know a german girl who flew gliders from age 9..with all theworld champions shes just turned 18 and flew the alps himaleyas all over the workld thers 1 picture og]=f her over the alps at 30,000 feet sitting on the winfg feet dangling over the mountains (its below zero that high and shes just sitting ona wing only 30 inches wide smilling )
you would love silplanes its really wild
ive ol]nly done basic aeorobatics never did a loop yet but could mostly chandellsspins lazy 8s spiral dives mostly training stuff
but did get good at the long flights ..following the hawks..playijng with them
man i want to do that someday i fly gliders (sailplanes not hang glides) and its an amazng rush but skydivings gotta be insane i wantto hang glide too tho someday

it doesnt even feel like your falling it just feels like your floating. its liberating and something you have to do at least once in your life.
and SE how did you get into sail planes and where do you fly them? id like to do that one day.
