    Superb scenery, and video quality, I'd like to see your landing though (bit of a nose in was it?)

    Actually, landed on my feet both days, but the camera gets jiggled and the video has a glitch - that's why the cutaway.

    Maybe solid state HD recorders will fix that problem in the future.

    Very nice video. What camera and edit software did you use?

    The camera was a Canon HV20. I used Cyberlink PowerDirector for that edit - but probably switching to a Mac soon. iMovie seems to work pretty well also.

    fabulous - I was climbing in yosemite in august and it is great to see an aerial tour of the valley - what was the track you used by bill frisell to accompany the video - it was most appropriate?
    dream on

    David - the track is "The Pioneers", from "Good Dog, Happy Man" (a great album)

    Wow- Dan, you did some nice turns down low in the bowl of the upper falls. Nice landing approach, kicking the tree top before doing a 180 turn and setting down mid field. Not everyone can flare and land a blade wing while doing a right turn! Very impressive. You put the ‘hot in ‘dog.

    Hey Dave,

    Thanks, but mine wasn't nearly as impressive as your landing approach! I didn't get your diving-into-the-field-at-half-tree-height part in the video, but it was the first time I'd seen it done. Yikes.
