All:
- toplesses
- do deadly low level turns onto final
- have both hands on the control bar until skim or a tiny bit before

Nobody lands in a narrow dry riverbed with large rocks strewn all over the place.

Instead of using energy, speed to maintain control until the glider decides to land he uses it to punch himself up into a high stall...

More flare timing perfection practice needed.

Note that the nose wires go slack...
