Dave's HD Big Sur Video

I posted this on the Hanggliding.org forums, but thought I would post it here as well.

Well here it is folks. After many hours or rendering, re-rendering, editing and more rendering my Big Sur movie is finally finished. Play time is 31 minutes 12 seconds.

It comes in 2 flavors:

*720p H.264 .mp4 file. This one weighs in at 1.36 GB, so bittorrent is the way to transfer. Check other posts, google, or send me a PM if you need help getting a bittorrent client up and running. I will let it seed from the office at 200KB/s so it should be a quick download. Download the .torrent:


Flying 3/8/08 "A Little Lesson in Humility"

Pretty fun day with lots of hang gliders and a few paragliders launching from Marhsall. I got an hour and 40 minutes after sweating out the first 15 min at 500 below launch along the spine that extends south from Marshall. While I scratched about I looked up at a train of hang gliders that had formed on launch, apparently watching me in disgust. When I finally got a couple hundred feet higher than Marshall the waiting gliders started launching. They were probably thinking “If that moron is up it must be good now.”
