This film shows the most complete history of hang gliding overall that I have seen in the 30+ years of flying. It also shows the more modern versions of flying them with towing and all. Seems just a little heavy on the disappointment of the female pilot and her injuries... but it happened and it's the author's point of view. Still rate it 5 stars for overall excellent.

If you're looking for a first-hand experience into the sport before flying, or perhaps you're an instructor looking to share a video with your students, this video is the best. Period. It has footage and information about the history of hang gliding, the steps an average student takes to becoming a pilot, and even an inside look at the fellow pilots, characters, and lingo you'll come to know once you get in the air. It's got a little bit of everything in the mix.

I'm a big fan of "American Dreamin", a home-made mass-produced DVD easily found around the Bay Area featuring "first-person" footage from popular pilots around California. But as exciting as that video compilation is, it's very unfamiliar to newbies of the sport.

"The Flyingest Flying" is a great DVD that anyone can appreciate. This movie is definitely worth the price. With amazon.com, it shipped quickly and arrived at my door by the end of the week. 5 Stars.
