Hey guys, I need your help. Someone asked me if there was a video on
the internet that would show them a little about the sport of
Soaring . Guys, I need your inputŠ.and thanks in advance. I honestly
do not surf the you tube site and don¹t know of any off hand. I have
seen the one with the parachutist and the BlanikŠthat¹s not what I¹m
looking for! Does anyone know of a relatively short pleasant Soaring
video on the internet? Crashes are really cool to watch and I get a
kick out of the landings at Caesar Creek and the crashes way back
when.. in Marfa..but I really need something to refer to that will
showcase the positive aspects of the sport? Thanks so muchŠJayne

I have a few posted on YouTube. Not as good as many, but I think they
capture some of the simple joy fairly well:

Lots of plain old circling, relaxing, looking at birds, etc., and less
of the exciting stuff a lot of videos tend to concentrate on.

I'd say this is the best:

I think encountering birds in their element and sharing the day with
them is one of the best ways to get people interested in soaring (and
one of the best things about doing it, too!).
