Non-Stop Soaring Film Fest: Showcasing The Best Soaring Videos

[Kemp[_2_]]

For the Reno, NV Soaring Convention Feb 2-4, I'm organizing a 2 hour
compilation of the best soaring videos to show attendees and the
visiting public. The objective is to 1) show the visiting public that
we are much more than rides, and 2) share spectacular clips with other
pilots. The 2 hour video will loop and run all day so attendees can
come and go as they like. A mix of new and old, the anchor is the
Australian documentary of the 1974 World's "ZR, Good Start". That
leaves 70 minutes to be filled.

So if you have a favorite video, please send me the link, or if it's
from a commercial DVD, the DVD name and segment. In both cases, I'll
contact the rights holder for permission once I have the final
sequence. My email is kizuno1 a t gmail

There's lots of YT, Vimeo material and Facebook posts, but I can't
possibly evaluate each one, so I'm asking for your nominations. Bruno
Vassel, you'll have a few minutes for sure 8^)

Thanks in advance.

Hi Kemp,
Fantastic idea! I was already committed even before your last
sentence. :) I am happy to custom edit some of the best moments from
my videos and will contact you after the holidays to get direction
from you.

Take care,
Bruno - B4

Once you get all this together I would be eternally in your debt if
you could tell us where to get some of these films! I've heard about
""ZR, Good Start" and "Lifting The Blues" for example but can't find
anywhere to view or buy them. I've watched my copies of "The Sun Ship
Game" and "A Fine Week Of Soaring" so many times that if they were VHS
I would have worn the tape through by now.

I can send you a DVD of "Romeo Zulu-Good Start" about the 1974 World
Championships in Waikerie, Australia.
What's your address?

Yes, I can relate! I've watched those videos many times, but "ZR Good
Start" and "Liftin' The Blues" are not known much outside of Oz & the
UK respectively, and certainly not by the US community. The other
reason to do this is that there are many great current glider videos
posted to Facebook, but they scroll off and while not missing, can't
be easily recalled. I have to bookmark them quick! So at least from
my point of view, these will be some of the best. I hope others
agree. In my hopes (not planned yet) this compilation would be
available in some fashion, obviously there are rights and distribution
issues to work, but wouldn't that be great.

Get a copy of the dvd from the 2007 Grand Prix in New Zealand.

The best gliding film I have found is by Nistal Wloczysiak and can be seen
/ downloaded from
www.alpenstreckenflug.de/texte/english/glidingvideos.htm
it is called "Hellingfliegen".(Dune Gliding)
Nistal has produced a number of films all the ones I have seen are very
good

Please have a quick look at Tim Orchards 4 minute video just called 741
which is his dads glider, (vimeo.com/10290462 )

Possibly a nice little fill in film.

Just a thought.

For high-adrenaline HD videos, many videos by balleka may be suitable. I particularly like:
* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=021klVZcHuk Mainlining
Adrenaline - Ridge running in a Nimbus 3DT
* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dhac_vWKWyg What did
you do today?
* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fs666zqMw0s Down at
the Sea-side!
and IIRC there's a shorter version of the latter.

For aerobatics, search for "swift glider aerobatics", and you'll have plenty of choice

I have foud that this link no longer works but the film is available on
vimeo www.gliding4life.com

Great idea, Kemp.
For those wanting their own copy, "Zulu Romeo, Good Start" can be
downloaded using Bit Torrent. It takes a long time but is well worth
it.
Jim

bittorrent dot com slash downloads

[Peter Purdie[_3_]]

An excellent addition to the program would be the UK Junior's 'Smoking'
DVD; young pilots doing what happens when they get together (with due
regard to health and safety, or course!)

If you need a copy Kemp, let me know.

[Nigel Holmes]

Just another vid to check out " Down at the seaside"

Does anyone have an actual link to the torrent for ZR Good Start ?

[Hagbard Celine]

I've tried downloading ZR Good Start with Bittorrent before. I left
the client running for a month trying to download it and got precisely
zero bits as no one was seeding it. I just tried again for a couple of
days - same result.

[JohnDeRosa]

Check out my YouTube play list at http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDD72342AA854F88B.
It has a lot of great videos set to music.

[Paul Remde]

The good news is that I will probably have DVD versions of Zulu Romeo - Good
Start available for sale in a month or 2. I'm working with the producer.

If you don’t have a better final glide example, would that of Luka
Žnidaršič in a Lak 19 during a championship be suitable?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZxvYMC2QvI

Although criticised by some, there is an explanation at the end of the
clip that he started with a safety margin, encountered sink and strong
head wind, but kept plenty of speed on, and had landing options.
Straight in approaches were standard for that (and many other
competitions).
