| Title: Mukrim's sweet launch! |
| Comments: It seems the local kids were fairly impressed by Mukrim's launch. It's a tricky site to launch from, but found a forward launch on my DHV1 wing a lot easier than reverse launching a comp wing in such a tight spot.

| Title: Hammondsport |
| Comments: Life really doesn't get much better than this. I rented the cabin next to launch for the weekend, so that I could show my girlfriend the Finger Lakes. She wrote her novel all day and I flew, top landing for the occasional spot of tea!

| Title: The oldies do a tandem! |
| Comments: This is a short film of my parents doing tandem flights from the Col de la Forclaz launch in Annecy last year. They both started paragliding lessons in the early nineties, but never finished the course so this was the first time they had been at any great height although they have both soloed from s...(more) |

| Title: Pole Cam at Saleve |
| Comments: This was just an experiment to see if I could get some shots with the bullet camera on the end of a light weight pole. It is possible, but it would not be very safe in crowded skies or thermic conditions.

| Title: Alpine Sky Tours Spiral |
| Comments: Jason and I are planing to go paragliding in Annecy again in July (2005). I was pleased with this little video clip. It was one of the first spiral dives I managed to catch on film. The camera mount was a triumph of sticky tape engineering, consisting of wire string and velcro! This was my second tr...(more) |

|
| Title: 2004 Annecy Spiral Dive |
| Comments: This was a bit awkward to film as I was trying to point the camera at the wing while performing the spiral dive. If you listen carefully you can hear one of the straps snapping just before I look down to see what is wrong (6 secs in ). The forces in a spiral dive can get quite high, so just watch yo...(more) |

| Title: A spiral dive viewed from the air |
| Comments: This was tricky to film. My hands were freezing cold as it was late October. Jason is quite low when he exits the spiral, but he managed to get back into ridge lift at the base of the mountain and work his way up for another go.

No music, no cuts , no fades.....just awful sound quality and compressed video!
This film was shot by my brother in Annecy. I have left it completely unedited. No music, no cuts, no fade...(more) |

| Title: Top Landing at Annecy |
| Comments: This is footage of my first and only top landing at Annecy (as of writing this May 2005). I made about eight approaches before finally getting up the nerve to go for it. It's pretty much just a controlled crash really, as the space is so tight with trees hampering your approach.
A nice padded har...(more) |

| Title: Annecy is the place for a free flying holiday |
| Comments: This is basically some old footage that I have not been able to access since my camera stopped working. The blue glider is my twin brother Jason. At the time of writing, I haven`t seen him for a whole year since I emigrated to Canada on May 2nd 2004! Well since my camera is working I can edit all my...(more) |

Well since my camera is working I can edit all my old footage from the French/Swiss Alps. This is a bit of acro by the local pilots at Saleve. It makes landing the normal wa...(more) |
