Bit of fun last weekend.

For anyone interested we're spiral diving the tandem so hard that the centre of rotation shifts to the centre of the lines meaning we go around backwards.

Why have you dubbed that god awful music over it? It sounds like the sort of spunk munching, chocolate nudging euro 'house' that Chocolate O'Brian keeps playing

Were you flying or were you the number 2? I spent a day in Castleton in the peak district years ago watching guys and girls do this. It made me curious, how do you do this for the first time to gain some experience, surely you don't stand on a clifftop and step off?
I would be worried about some novice with only limited flying hours, colliding with me and taking the fast route to the ground. I assume there is no secondary safety equipment for such an incident?

I'm the first solo pilot filming and the second tandem passenger, you know, the handsome, young looking one.
You need training, starts with wing control, small hill getting progressively bigger. You could fly on your own, insured, after two weeks training.
I have a round parachute under my seat, if I'm doing really silly things then I have a special harness with two reserve parachutes.
People buy kit on ebay and get hurt... a lot.

Good light I guess. Did I tell you I won GoPro video of the Week? Pretty sure I told the whole world but maybe I missed one or two people.

Nope, this one https://vimeo.com/22846695 really rough edit but I guess the subject is a little different.
Some more fun on the lake https://vimeo.com/33761319 using my winch boat.
