Flying the Caucasus!

our pilot team made a fantastic trip to the heart of Caucaus, Hurzuk, the ravine near Elbrus. Flying above the clouds high in the mountains, they made a video-record.
...so you may see it:

from the very beginning

We learn HG using the winch, cause there are practically no slopes around.
And this are the early days of training. First steps.
for example I got airborne at first(3-rd flight is me <**>). The glider seemd toooooo heavy))) and the altitude - soooo big))))And It Was Great!!!!...just as terrifying, wow!

Have you ever noticed what the great aerobatic-flyes Crows are?
Now, just sitting infront of the window and waching them, I'm getting amazed of all they performing there!
Despite the gray, low winther sky ant the wall of snow - they are making a fantastic vertigo!!! Loops, rollings, sharp maneuvers while handing a wooden stick to each other))) Like a Tag)
WOW!
Does anyone wanna play the same with me in the air? +)p

while nothing to do.....

I made a picture of this eagle on the sleeve of my favourite coat)))
So when the cold comes, I just wrap in my orange scarf, clasp the bird to my bosom and dream about sun, blue sky and flights))))

But I like rain, snow and hazy weather - it makes me feel something special...something sharp and subtle at the same time...
slow down... listening to someone, scratching in my heart//

the early begining....

one of my first flights: 2005y. Crimea//

Day by day I'm just looking for the reasons not to go round the bend!
I'm tired...
Tired of working two jobs at once, studing at the university and Art school... I like all this passions, but together thay drive me crazy.
the typical day appears to be:
getting up early, running to the workplace, missing the university, rushing to flightclub in the evening, moving to the autoservise to paint cars with airbrush(2nd job) all night long, sleeping 2-3 hours in a pile of rubbish and after that trudge in the morning to the university nd Art school? whrere I shoul look perfect!

ha-ha! it's gonna be so funny to recall all this in my memory few years later!
but not now!
r-r-r-r-r-r.....

What is the Aim??? - Hangliding, f*!
I wanna Combat L12!!! I wanna travel to Champs!!! I wanna fly all season long and meet people!!! Mybe I'll meet u some day?)
Does anyone know, how much can I pay for it? - terrifying to imagine!

Like a blood-eyed bool opposite the red canvas)))

Hold me! I realy gonna make it!
