Absolutely great video, some of the most enjoyable paragliding content out there. I like the introduction of the retrospective / interview style additions, really adds something. Keep 'em coming!
Ben, that was an epic flight. Very interested to hear about how you plan the XC’s and do your weather predictions planning too. Maybe you could do a separate video on the technical planning aspect for all us beginners ?
Epic scenery, epic flight, and epic editing as usual. You have such an incredible place to fly, can’t say I’m not envious, but i still enjoy my Sierra Nevada mountains, even though they aren’t as beautiful lol.
Great instruction in that flight. I've spent a bit of time climbing those peaks around Aspiring. The view you had I could only dream of. Hope you didn't get abandoned in Twizel too long as well!
Fantastic to see you on TH-cam Ben, and great to learn about the technicals of paragliding whilst listening to your New Zealand accent 😉 Thanks for sharing your passion with us great video, hope you are well.
I live in the heart of the Rockies here in Canada and then f lying here is spectacular, but man do I love your mountains. The river valleys are beautiful. I don’t fly pg much these days but boy would I love to fly my motor where you are!!! Awesome flight and vid as always
Wow Ben! You've been getting some amazing long flights in. Great to see you making it all the way from Coronet to Cook Village in one go. What's the total distance on this one?
@@BenjaminKellett You're a (FREAK) in mazing mate!! Can't wait for more exploits. I continue to spread the word to the rest of the flying world for you.
So fun to watch your flight Ben! Keep 'em coming. Can I ask what app or software you're using to visualize your flight tracks? Love the way the tracks follow the topography and list your track points.
Nice flying brother. I've been thinking of visiting NZ for some big alpine XC and this epic video has just moved the NZ trip up the list. When's the best time of year to come over weather wise?

Hey Ben! Awesome video ❤ what's the helmet you've got on? ;)

Great Flying Ben, Just a question is cloud base always super low through those mountains or are there higher days ?
Nice flying brother. I've been thinking of visiting NZ for some big alpine XC and this epic video has just moved the NZ trip up the list. When's the best time of year to come over weather wise?
It is too bad what happened to this guy.
