Soaring Videos Wanted!

GoPro and Other HD & 4K Soaring Videos Wanted!

The SSA is looking to its members to submit any 1080-HD or 4K soaring video you think the SSA might like to use in producing future promotional videos..

The SSA is currently seeking raw footage of any closeup air-to-air shots, or video of 2 or more gliders engaged in ridge running or flying under cloud streets, mountain flying, racing, or flying in formation.

We also need footage shot from around the gliderport, such as instructors working with youth/Juniors or student pilots, people working together on a glider in the hangar, footage from social gatherings, etc. What we REALLY NEED is footage of people having fun and enjoying themselves at the home club..

We need video of youth, teenageers, college age, and/or young adults up to age 40 engaged in soaring activities.... either in the air or contributing around the club. Footage that can be used to give people a sense of the fun social atmosphere many clubs enjoy, mentoring, flight instruction, and the comradery enjoyed by pilots of all ages, especially when Junior and younger adult pilots are engaged with more Senior pilots - this is wanted too.

Lastly, if you think you have something that's really exciting that nobody's ever seen before we're interested in having that too.

To make arrangements to submit your video(s) for possible inclusion in the SSA's latest marketing efforts, please contact the SSA by email at: (someone from the SSA's Digital Media Working Group will get back to you in 3-5 business days). Thank you!

There are a number of us SSA members that also have YouTube channels with quite a lot of this type of content. This would be a good place to start, and if you see something you want to use, then contact the owner and see if they will give permission for it to be used.

The SSA has to obtain written permission to use copyrighted video footage glider pilots have posted to their personal YouTube accounts. We are in the process of lifting a great deal of video footage from a number of contributors but we first have to make arrangements to obtain permission to use their content for commercial purposes. This is why we're asking people to contact the SSA. Of course if we stumble across something we really like we may contact you too. Thank you for the great suggestion!

Chris, you will need truly inspirational videos. Unfortunately, the vast
majority of soaring videos produced in the US are utterly boring. Look
at these European videos for examples of the kind of stuff the SSA
should be seeking:

Polished but insipid.

Terribly boring audio selections.

Better audio selection- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6iSL1dsShc

I hope the SSA hires some young talent to put together these promotional videos. Old and young eyes see the world differently. There are some young people in Europe who know how to make soaring videos that look exciting to young people.

Are there any exciting soaring videos made by young people in the USA?

Weather they are exiting is up to you, but I make soaring videos and I guess you could call me young. I fit the SSA standard for jr pilot.

I love 'Cloudstreet', but I'm old.

Compare it to a recent no-budget gliding video that a lot of young glider pilots seem to like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dn8Bvu6rt-Y


Here's a long excerpt from 'Cloudstreet' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dn8Bvu6rt-Y

Here's a short promo for Cu Nim Gliding Club that I like a lot https://www.cunim.org/
