The Best Paragliding Tandem Movie in the World

A couple months ago when I was still working on my paragliding tandem rating, one of my passengers took along a video camera and took some footage of what turned out to be a pretty fun flight. Check it out.

You won't understand the "Chili Cook-off" footage at the beginning, so I'll enlighten you by saying that when it's flyable and I'm not in the sky, I tend to imitate Homer because I'm immature and childish. Also, I think singing songs with passengers adds to the ambiance of a flight and is therefore awesome.

Chiu is a great friend, a great pilot, and a great tandem passenger - thanks for the vid man!

Hey V! Great site. Can't wait to fly with you again. You will have to keep up though missy. I have a new wing that will be difficult to catch. It even has that new glider smell!
Cheers,
Marko

So in your next video can you do that little Homer "I'm missing it, I'm missing it" dance with the wiggley fingers? :P

Chiu - yes, sometimes I say very random shit during flights...good thing a camera isn't rolling all the time.

Marko - I bet my glider smells better than your glider.

Jim - if I do the dance, you might lose all respect for me, of course assuming you have some for me now. It would still be HOT though.

Probably be hilarious! But if you ever try then I promise to cover my eyes and somebody else can describe. Maybe a little liquid amnesia in the sippy cup for dignity insurance :)
Waaahooooooo!

"Fang" is a very very cool name too...kinda like Slash from Guns n' Roses, and would be a great name for a comp paraglider!

Jim, I have done you disservice by forgetting about the sippy cup. Thank you so much for the reminder - I'll even supply you with the Bayley's if I can take a pic of you with it, ha ha! ;)

Wha?!...and all I gotta do is release my liplock on the sippy cup long enough for a picture? Deal!
