Harry Potter landing: least and most favorite

[pink_albatross]

My favorite PG landing goes like Cedric's landing in the Harry Potter movie scene.

You know, the one in which they use the portkey to get to the World Quidditch match?
My least favorite landing is Harry Potter's landing: he just tumbles out of the sky, falling flat on his face. I've never ever done this one. (Yeah right. Actually I'm quite experienced with this style.)
The next landing is by hot shot Cedric, who just sort of leisurely steps out of the sky for a perfect no step landing.
That's the one I love. Easily achieved with the help of a paraglider. For maximum effect, initiate hovering at about 10 feet above ground.

My least favorite landing occurred on an LZ that gradually declines along the primary landing axis. Only, I forgot that. I started my flare, naively thinking I was going to have an artful landing. However, I ended up doing a not-so-graceful PLF. Were I flying a hang glider, I would've been heckled by pilots shouting, "Whack!" Instead, all I had to endure was snickering about the grass stains on my pants.

My favorite landing was the one I had at the same LZ on my next flight. Quite artful, I must say, and it made a much better end to what was my first thermal soaring flight.
