Please review all towing matters before doing towing of a hang glider. Mistakes can be deadly.

I just simply Love this Video Clip of these Guys having a Grate Time! I approve. Well that said, there really should be a law against that. No one should be allowed to have that much fun! I Loved it when the Pilot did the push off from the shoulders of his friends, His Ground Crew, Correct? Ever Pilot should have His own personal ground Crew. I am making strides so that I will be well equipped for My first Flight in Eleven Years Six Months and counting.
Yes I wilkl have John as My Crew Chief. I will have Bob and Joe, I might have Dave C, and possibly Pil9ot X also. When theHarnes gets taught and My feet leave the sand for say just one foot, the experience will be glorious! I will truly be undergoing for Me personally it will be mY: "FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX"

Great posts Joe and Chris!!
I'll be happy to be on any crew supporting either of you.  



Here's my favorite "Short low manual tows by one or more persons":



If you look carefully (follow the tow rope), you'll see a faint and tiny hang glider up in the sky. That's Bill Cummings being towed up by his wife - and fellow hang gliding pilot - Terry. The photo was taken by Donnell Hewitt at Padre Island (and can also be found here).

I just Re-Watched this Video. You Guys really look like You are having Way too Much Fun! Way to Much, , , , , , Fun!

Please forgive my somewhat rude, brash Comments. But I really do not mean any harm. But I have just been re-watching this Post. I realy should let You Guys know that making this Video and then posting here was a really wrong incorrect thing that You have done. For I have not Flown in 11 Years 5 Months 13 Days! My not being able to Fly is something that I must deal with. So You can imagine how my Blood is boiling, How I oh so wnt to do a day like the Flying day that you just Posted.

This is just plain wrong!
