Great find, but skip ahead to the good part, that's me in the purple 16' Eipper Flexi-Flier at 13:38! '72 I believe it was, maybe '73? Wow, that brings back memories..... like seeing a quick glimpse of Dave Kilbourne's brother Richard, who died a few months later in a car crash in Big Sur. I was looking the crowd scenes over at the Coyote Hills fly-in scenes to see if I could spot my girlfriend and me there, it was quite the event.
Dave was a real bad ass and pretty much the originator of foot launched rogallo wing flying in this country, after spending time with the Bill Bennett water ski review flying towed kits, he figured foot launching on a hill might work also. His girlfriend Donnita was a great pilot and cute as hell also, (as the video shows) they used to spend weekends at my Carmel digs and we'd go pioneer sites in Big Sur, all this in my first year of flying, he was an old hand at it by then and kept me lined out and alive. One great site, 2700' San Martin Top, was only launchable if you knew the pot growers who lived at the launch site, they had an old couch at the slope's edge and used to just there, smoke, and watch the sunset. When we showed up and started flying off into that sunset and the beach below, WE BLEW THEIR MINDS. Back to the 21 st. century.
