Ridge-soaring as the eagle does it!

One of my glider-club friends posted this nice video on our user-group site.  I was reminded of some of the ridge-soaring flights I've had in the back seat of one of our high-performance sailplanes with a skilled pilot flying from the front.  I'd like to be able to fly like this and share it with my passenger too!
