Sylmar Hang Gliding Association

going back through some favorites with the extra (rainy) time on my hands. What happened to this video? Seems to be pulled off all site. Makes me want to see it more;)

actually just noticing there are posts of doing this kinda thing all over youtube. perhaps it was not that novel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLtBojvDEyc&NR=1 Serious off-roaders tend to run as low pressure as possible and pop beads alot. Need to be able to fix quickly on the trails. But, I w...

and for the $2 option. See this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5H9yXavFls I took this video during an off-road festival in Calico CA last year. It was my friend Mike's UniMOG which popped a bead, which is like a tractor. The procedure was 2-3 seconds of a combustant (engine starter, hairspray...

I'd like to join too. Any room left in the vehicles?

Cheers,

I heard it was great - even from a non-pilot. I believe it is behind security. Is the exhibit still there? If so, any idea for how much longer?

Awesome - great exposure.

Hi Oscar,

from a hang gliding videography perspective, it's very cool how your shadow stays right in the view of the camera for so long.

Nice flight. Look forward to flying with you at Sylmar.

Cheers,
Chad

bah. If you buy that I got a bridge to sell ya... Gotta give credit to Greg and Nurit for three reasons: we had similar (big) flights, he had the dream to make it Lake Powell and it was contageous, and hearing him talk about Kanab and Page was very motivating while I was stuck in Colorado City tryin...

Another great trip to Hurricane with adventures and great flights for all. I am looking forward to hearing about everybody's adventures and flights but here is mine. The group was: Ken, Dana, Igor, Mike/Kathy/Aly, Katherine, Dave, Greg/Nurit, Chad/Andrea. Plus some Arizona pilots. We also ran into P...

yep, nailed it. There was a radio station, I think in San Diego, that played renditions of songs with a single instrument and listeners would call in with their guesses. Was pretty fun.

Cheers,
Chad

Hi Malury,

nope, not "Lady Madona", but there is some resemblance.

Hint: It's a cover of a song from LA band which came to fame in the late 80's.

Hope to see you in the skies soon,
Chad

Do we have a category for "mediocre videos" instead of "awesome videos"? As Chip said before we launched, the main footage should be from the side or front, but for this one I mounted by higher fidelity (heavy) camera pointing straight down. I interleaved it with grainy footage f...

Hi Jonathan, you have come long way with the videos - super impressive. The video, the audio, the processing - all very cool. I remember when you joined SHGA and you and I kicked out a few vids. Since then the reins are all yours - I haven't done a video in long time. In both we show a virtual intro...

nice choice of PJ Harvey for the cloud/dark-ish conditions. Sweet vid.

I was messing around with this a bit. I don't have decent Google Earth capture software and only some grainy in flight footage, but someone could make a really cool hang gliding video with Google Earth integration. Here is a sample for ideas...

a huge thanks to someone (will the really slim shady please stand up) for breaking down my glider on Saturday while I was hiking back up to retrieve the 'burban. I made it in my record time which was necessary as it was getting quite dark. When I got back to the dark, abandoned LZ, I found my glider...

ok, I promise, this is the last from my personal web site for a while;) These are old pictures but a classic shot of the Suburban in the ditch (for those of you who didn't get to see it live) and a great shot of many SHGA folks doing a toast in the LZ. http://chadness.ourprofile.org/Trips/y2008FebEn...

funny shot of Malory. From my personal (family) web site so please excuse the self serving-ness of the page. Going to El Mirage in the cooler seasons is really fun. I hope Hungry Joe/Flying Circus holds some trips this winter...

woulda, shouda, coulda... Anyway a very fun flight. Huge thanks to the organizers of the trip and the great folks who attended. On my personal web page, I posted a report on that flight, with a non-flying audience in mind. But of interest to the flying community might be the different ways to view t...

Andrea and I are going, and taking the suburban. Room for others, but we plan to head back Sunday afternoon (cant take Monday off work). Looking forward to it.

Hi Chip. I think the link to the movie is broken. At least for me...
