Shola Ogunlokun is embarking on a challenge of a lifetime. He wants to learn to fly a hang glider, and then attempt to fly across the UK, a journey of over 900 miles. Did I mention he also has a fear of heights?

I like the quiet determination of both the subject and the pod. This is a good set-up for what appears to be an exciting series of pods. I'm sure there are a million reasons why it's a bad idea to take a camera rig on a hang glider, but I would like to have seen a view of what he was seeing as he flew. If you have a moment, please check out my latest pod, GLAMAZONIA, and let me know what you think.

Awesome story, good job on beating that fear of heights. GL!
-
nice video, Shola. greenlight from me!
-
GL for sure. I like the fact that this pod is only 3 1/2 minutes long. With some music and some more shots of you flying, this could make a great piece on air. Look into buying a recordable webcam that you can mount on your helmet so you can get some beautiful shots from the air.

That was inspiring. I had a hang glider given to us and my husband at the time tried to fly it without instruction. I towed him from our truck...not a bright idea. Anyways, it didn't turn out as well as this. Glad to see he made it with no back injury! :) GL from me!
Check out my piece and let me know what you think: link-

Thanks for the GL's and encouraging comments, like I said i still have some way to go, but your words have defianately given me an extra boost that will see me through the cold winter months ahead.
I will be checking out the other producer's videos when I get home. Thanks to all in the community and Current for giving me the opportunity to share my story. -

Hi Shola, Fantastic! Done a tandem jump myself from 12,000ft and 8,000ft free-fall but your dream is definately a much tougher goal! Wish you all the best.
"If the dream is big enough, the facts don't count!"
You can do it!

Great vid Shola..
Reminds me so much of when I learned to fly (1985) and how I felt before going solo for the first time.
Best of luck with your dream of flying across the UK!-

I had fun watching this. Went hang gliding for the first (and only) time a few years ago, loved it. Much different from skydiving, a whole other sensation. You present it well, great narration. GL.
