Default gliders in movies


Right mate, I have found a 'taster' video of Smokin
on a University Club website... its not anywhere near
as good as the 2004 version, but its the 2003 one and
is pretty good.

Quality not brilliant but you get the idea.

I think main differences between this and 2004 one
is that there is much more 'action' in the latter,
where this one has quite a bit of just bimbleing around...

anyway, heres the link:

Enjoy!

It is about half an hour long, but unfortunately they
dont make it any more (sold out!) However, I am sure
if you put an advert on gp.net someone would have
a
copy? Or maybe enough interest from the American sector
would ignite a few more copies...

I can honestly say it is the best DVD for gliding
I
have ever seen, and shows gliding at its best in Britain.


That does sound like a treat.

Anyone in my neck of the woods (the San Francisco are)
have a copy?
