I've never seen anything like that before.  Thanks for posting.

Absolutely amazing.

Now that is flying.

There was some really nice control there. A bit of poor choices in a couple cases but overall nice flying. Since it seems this was a memorial video I assume he bit it while flying. Anyone have the story on it?

I had the same assumption but when I googled him it turns out he died from a brain tumor.  I didn't find any more details.

Would be interested if anyone has any more info on him.

Edit:  NM, thanks to MP3 we've lost the link.

Is a beautiful song and some wonderful aerobatics by an Aussie hang glider.  Thought I'd share it with those who missed the original link.
