Editorial Reviews

John "Ole" Olson, Ultralight Flying! October, 1999

"Born to Fly" is a compilation of...different segments on various aspects of hang gliding...even a little paragliding thrown in. Some of the footage is taken from the ground level, at launch and in the landing fields, but much is taken with the camera along for the ride...

And some of these rides are wild, indeed; big strong thermals and dust devils, thermaling out from low "saves", control-bar shaking turbulence over 13,145 feet msl - this is what hang gliding is all about! I particularly like the big rippin' wing-over-almost-loop from Mark Gibson over the tram on Sandia Peak above Albuquerque, NM as a tornado shreds the sky out front. That's right, a tornado!

That is, I like watching this from the comfort of my couch. I wouldn't want to be there. I just crawl up to the TV on my knees, point my finger for the benefit of other viewers and say, "See that? See right there? It's a funnel cloud. Not for posers!"
