A Narrated 38-Mile Hang Gliding Flight - 2/16/2010 - Video
The Rod Serling narration is actually an improvement. But I think a theatrical dramatic reading would be best.
Also, Even though a clean frame capture ended the live video, I get the feeling with a tailwind, a T2 and other unmentioned factors... an amazing "wack" may have been recorded on unreleased video. But with out indisputable video evidence and that last clean up right frame... we can only wonder.

I'm going to do the narration on Wednesday's flight video in Shakespearean Iambic Pentameter.
Jonathan congratulation to flight and your video nice, but your commentary voice put me almost to asleep you got to work on that, did you just get out of the bed when you did that,your voice sounded so scratchy and slow. So please next time let your wife do the talking she has a lot more sexier voice and it would make the video lot more exciting,at least for the guys that are watching 
Smile now Cry later

Next time I'll stand up and move around when I narrate. It will have a whole different sound. I still have to finish editing Wednesday's flight and I'll be more animated when I do the narration. I have had very little practice and it takes 4 hours the render the video so I can play it back. It's an extremely time consuming process.max wrote:Jonathan congratulation to flight and your video nice, but your commentary voice put me almost to asleep.............
I was exhausted and my legs actually buckled under me. Normally I'd have enough spring in my legs to take the equivalent of jumping off of a picnic table with my T2C on my back. But not on Tuesday. Wait till you see Wednesday's landing on San Dimas Canyon Golf course. I'm still working on the edit.OP wrote:Nice landing. The strong flare + "parachuting" looks like a good move with the tail wind.
As it was conspicuously missing from the first video I had imagined the worse case.
