Paragliding in Patagonia, Futalefu
The Futaleufu is a valley in Patagonia, Chile. Ron Fischer has been opening up the flying here over the passed few years with a few nice flights already. He took me up to a beautiful take off and we had a perfect flight together. First we went to the Laguna Pinilla and the into the Azul valley, crossed over into the Espolon valley and finaly back over the main valley to las tres Monjas. Mega!

Probably the line thats most intrigued me the most in the Mont Blanc Massif. Its weaves through a beautiful hanging glacier and across an improbable looking traverse to a perfect paragliding take off. A brilliant day with Ross Hewitt.
Mallory Ski Line, Aiguille du Midi - Chamonix

One of the classic steep ski line of Chamonix under the Aiguille du Midi cable car. We had generally pretty good conditions and it was a great adventure to ski this part of the mountain. A right of passage.
Air Design Hero 2 - Fly to Ski Combo
มุมมอง 1.4K8 หลายเดือนก่อน
Spring is my favourite time of year. The days are longer, the thermals are working and there is still snow to ski. The new AirDesign Hero 2 arrived with me just in time for the good weather and I was very excited to put this light weight D glider through its paces. The forecast didn't look the best for a long cross country flight so I figured a combo would be the best use of the day.
Ski Fly Mont Blanc
มุมมอง 3.2K8 หลายเดือนก่อน
I've wanted to Ski from the summit of Mont Blanc for some time now - I guess when you live under the thing, you feel compelled to do so at least once. I've been up on foot several times and flown from the summit at least 5. Alex and I stayed in the Cosmiques hut the night before as I was keen to try and get some acclimatising done. We then used our wings to take off from the Col du Midi and lan...

AirDesign Volt 5 vs Hero 2 SIV test
มุมมอง 22K10 หลายเดือนก่อน
I was recently lent the new Volt 5 and Hero 2 by AirDesign. I thought an SIV style test comparing the two could be useful for people to see. I appreciate that not everything is tested, such as collapses under speed bar or A symmetric collapses - However I hope you find it useful in selecting your next two liner wing. ad-gliders.com/project/volt-4-speedmachine/?lang=en ad-gliders.com/project/her...
Paragliding to Skiing combo - Tips and Tricks
มุมมอง 1.8K10 หลายเดือนก่อน
Combing your paraglider and skis can allow you to access and depart from ski terrain in a very efficient way. In this video I use my Zeolite to access the Aiguille du Plan from the Aiguille du midi in Chamonix and explain some tips and tricks along the way.
Flying a tandem paraglider around Mont Blanc, with my Dad!
มุมมอง 3.1Kปีที่แล้ว
Flying around MontBlanc is one of the most beautiful flights you can do in Europe. The terrain you fly through is simply stunning. I've often wondered whether it would be possible for me to fly a tandem around there. It just so happened my dad was visiting me for a few days when we had pretty much perfect conditions! To fly this route with him was an amazing experience! Thanks to Alex and Rahi ...
Surfers ear surgery. My story about the chisel.
มุมมอง 3.5Kปีที่แล้ว
After doing a variety of water sports for over two decades such as white water kayaking and surfing I ended up with very advanced surfers ear. My Right ear was mostly closed and my left ear was totally closed. I was getting lots of ear infections and was totally deaf in my left ear. It was time for surgery. Hearing horror stories about getting the exostoses drilled out, I did a lot of research ...

Sick guys! Would love to go soon!
Lovely. Hi from snowy Zermatt 🙂
Epic !
Great video Jake!!! I’m jealous.
Que pasada! Es hermoso! Enhorabuena!
That Air Design setup looks sweet!
But why is the reserve handle covered by the windscreen?
beautiful flight !! you have the tracklog of it ? Also... aren't you afraid to not be able to reach for your rescue handle with that makeshift screenshield ?
www.xcontest.org/world/en/flights/detail:Outdoorjake/15.12.2024/15:13 Hi. No the rescue handle is not blocked with the windscreen there... It's been tested
Epic video Jake. Would love to see an updated review on the Hero 2, it's on my shortlist of new gliders to buy
I dont think you can reach your rescue chut with this windshield
Epic as ever Jake. Proximity with the condors looked phenomenal
Wow, cool! Looks like NZ 😎😎
Greetings flying boys ! 🪂 Ron it's so good to see what you told us about, truly Amazing wild spot Futalefu 🗻🌟 Enjoy & never stop exploring the air ^_^
Just had my right ear done. Was nearly completely closed and chisel method was used. Severe pain postoperative. Hope that’s not a bad sign. No dressing over the ear itself just the packing inside. Was dismissed with blood still weeping out down my neck. They’re planning to remove the dressing in 2 weeks?! Hopefully it’ll be ok.😬
HI Jake - thanks for the video . What are you ears like now - have they healed as you would have hoped?
Nice vid Jake, any chance of a longer term follow up on the Hero 2, it’s on my shortlist of new gliders
Australia needs this man
Thanks Jake, hope this finds you in good health. Your vlog will inspired positive outcomes to are community of cold water enthusiasts in UK.
Have you got images of your ears after they are healed? Did the skin all grow back properly, or have you had any long lasting irritation/issues?
Hey Jake , Great review and exactly the points we need to know.
Hey Jake! I been doing some small XC tandems with my son. What kind of harness did you rig with the leg cover for your dad? Any experience adding the WV leg cover to an advance easiness 3? Thanks in advance for the thoughts and thanks for the inspiration!
Casually takes skis off in the air...f'ing legend!
Amazing, congratulations. So nice to share this with family ❤
Seems like the tighter you make the BOA dial the less movement available for the slider. Any comments on this??
Nice color-coordination :-) What's the jacket?
“Nice” - understatement of the century 😂 epic work Jake
Wowww, beautiful teaser... will wait for a long full video
You have inspired me to explore the big mountains in Switzerland/France and your Volbiv as well as your skitouring/flying combos has given me so mich joy! Thank you and keep sharing the beauty of flying🫶🏼
Looks epic, but cold 🥶😄
Its a vol biv?
We need a Soar 2 review mate, ideally with some SIV stuff included 😉
Hi Jake, thx a lot for this nice videos 👍👍 I notice you did it at 95 on the volt5. Did you also fly it at 95kg? How does it behave? I would be 95-96 with tent etc... I wonder if it is doable with this wing.... Thx for your help🙏
very good
What was the date that you skied
Epic!
Nice One man! BigTings
How much did both ears cost ?
Nice
Wow! What a line, I'm surprised it didn't get more views.
Quite the traverse!
Sick
Such phenomenal adventures as ever Jake - loving being able to watch these
Nice trip. What tent do you have ? that geen
for reference, what boots have you used in the past? And what are your foot dimensions, length and width? Cheers!
Hi Jake, wondering if you've tried the new Rise 5 or Soar 2 wings - any thoughts appreciated. (I think your Soar 1 review said maybe it was a bit hot for a second glider ie graduating from a low B). Thanks!
Looks bomber. I have the hoji free and they are amazing, boa with cables outside is just what people asked in order to reepaie in case needed.
I just recently became obsessed with this idea and and in the works of planning a mission. Nice to see others have successfully pulled it off 😃
Inspiring stuff Jake… as two of my favourite sports, I’d love to get my level of flying big mountains to yours to enjoy similar solo adventures! Fancy doing some para/ski touring guiding? Cheers Teistan
Jake, can you show what the sleeve system is for your skis? I've attached mine to the side of my harness, but I don't have a system where I can just slide them in and out like you did. Or, if there is something you can point me to that shows this method, that would be great. Thanks
super nice! can you do a tutorial on how to mount thw skis to the harness?
So nice Jake ! Good job ;)
