No kidding about another level to your videos. The footage was stunning and the flying spectacular as usual but rarely do you find a video on YT where the commentary is as enjoyable if not more so. I enjoy all your videos but this one was special. Artful. Thank you
thanks Ramon, to be honest, I had a laugh with this one!
@@FlyWithGreg Do you fly the Nova Ion light 7 here ?
I love the wing and want to buy it - or are there any similar wings i should look into?
Cheers and thanks for the awesome video!
@flywithgreg this video is a hoot. Loved the commentary
Nice Greg, really enjoyed that. I was a branch manager once - what a mission to recover my wing.
The commentary is a 12/10. I went back to the video description and double checked that it wasn't uploaded on April 1st :D
I especially love the branch manager comment 😂
Branch manager 😂
amazing images and writting :D
this was hilarious Greg 😅
Amazing footage.Thanks.
Legend Bro. Epic vid. Shotto.
Brilliant commentry Greg, ever thought of adding commedian to your CV? Oh and the flying and sceanery where amazing too. Lets have some more like that!
Funny, AND just sublime! Excellent ambassador for the sport, peerless tutor.
Such a departure from your regular content, love the satire that unfortunately only few will get! Never flew Lions Head, I gravitated towards the Map of Africa back in the days when the glider came with me aboard SAA, but I swear I can see myself hiking up India Venster on one of your shots... ;-)
Branch manager 🥁 💥
Spot-on Greg this one is an all time gem…🙏
Great video. The wife will be paying for my subscription as a 40th birthday gift in July. 🎉😊🎉 looking forward to more green cookies then😅
lovely Place
Thanks Greg, I love your sense of humour!
I’ve lived there for six months in 2011 and my last trip was Oct’22. I climbed Lion’s Head several times, table mountain once. I love paragliding and got lucky enough to fly at PE. This video made me so happy. All those memories. Your comments are funny too 😂
Lol, well played sir!
Fun..pure Fun..
Very inspirational. Thank you for sharing this amazing flight with us ♥
Net nog n een Capenaar. Love it! ❤
Your sarcasm is pretty spot-on! I've hiked Lion's Head twice, but paragliding there was never on my radar! I may need to learn how to paraglide (I paramotor, but paragliding is a fully different beast!) and then head back to Cape Town!
My favorite site briefing 😄
Beautifully captured....I used to soar there a great deal in the early 90's....but on a hang glider. Thanks for the memories!👍😎👍
Best instructional video yet. I'm almost a P2 and training a bunch of P1s. I'll be sure to send them to this vid for more instruction!
greg, you are an outstanding storymaker 😊 please carry on keeping your stories funny like this one ❤
Wonderfully entertaining, well done!
That was so good
😂 legend!🤣
Haha. Love the commentary, in the same way my kids love my dad-humour :P
Great video as always! Thanks Greg
nice :)))
😆 had me cracking up
I've never been a branch manager. I spent to much time on the fence
Nice introducing some humour there Greg
Greg seems to know us like he knows the sky we seek. Our every breath is a leap of faith, our every leap, a breath of life. Fly With Greg is an amazing interesting and informative group of pilots. You can join & learn of the sky. Maybe it is for you!
Topland it!
hey, serious question.. if you were to retire to the Cape where would you go..? factoring in paragliding of course and weather, costs of buying property / living etc., got me thinking also what about western cape or northern cape.. ?
🎉Nice
A+
I've been dreaming of flying in Cape Town since I started paragliding years ago. When's the best time to do some relaxing, non-aggressive/non-crazy-thermic flying there? (I fly to relax, and not to break records :) ) Thanks in advance!
Your best, most informative video to date😅
I am an Australian pilot hoping to come to SA in Feb but I am concerned about the power outages and the increased crime problems Are those problems manageable? such a pity South Africa is an awesome country.
I live here and it's totally manageable. I hope you end up coming, you won't regret it. And you will be living like a king with Aussie dollars
Yes I did come to SA in Feb, 10 days in cape town and surrounds and 12 days in wilderness. My second solo flying trip there, had a great time no issues. The local pilots were awesome.
hahahaha greg that was Kak Funny .entertained the whole way . awesome Vid , THIS should be bought and promoted by SATour .
Bru you kak funny 😂😂
Branch Manager 😂😂😂
Really liked the video ….the audio? …well??….depends on your sensibilities ???
branch manager :)
All the cookies are green an get high with out trying 🤣
Great B*shit monologue... 😂 Thoroughly enjoyed! 👍
Very funny and amazing at the same time! What a horrible view indeed!
I think if it was a good place to fly there would be at least one or two other paragliders in the sky.
Origami….😂
Above mama Africa 👌
Such an awful place, such a beautiful place.
Brilliant. Rather fly there than getting murdered on the streets.
dangerous activities such as stopping at a traffic light 🥲
500 bc😂
