Ain't that the truth ;-). Especially the 'Ground-handling' advice...could save your life. Good 'kiters' tend to make good pilots ;-) Thanks for ALL your uploads :D
Absolutely agree) And the worst thing as for me is the total mismatch of google maps view and real place sometimes. Its worth nothing to see an new village built month ago instead of grass hill as it seen on maps)))
Hahah. that's awesome. From one global hanggliding, paragliding, speedwing flying, skydiving, airplane flying, PPG flying, ultralight flying pilot to another....Cheers mate! Been there...SAME thing happens to me and I'm glad you showed this. All the hard work for the amazing shots and vids are worth...we tell ourselves that over and over WHILE cliimbing, hiking, camping and getting rained on and stuff in traffic and the $$ too. LOL. Great job! It's worth it!
Hey flying buddy!! Wohoo 🎉 happy that you enjoyed it!! That’s what it is :)) we are all the same here I guess hahaha lets gooo!!! If we wanna fly we have to suffer sometimes 😂😂😂
Nice vídeo man. That's is why we love paragliding. Cause we love to fly. And yes. Shit happens. I had an accident a month ago and I lost my wing. But I will fly again in a while. I think the most important thing is try to fly always with other paragliders.
I had to stay to the end for If it's flyable, knowing well that frustration from flying (and not flying) back in the 1990s. Brilliant content to engage those who think you jump out of perfectly servicable aircraft!
Awesome video Aljaz I feel it. 😁 When it came to breathtaking landscapes, I had to think of our compulsion to always visit boring airfields that looked the same. And 10 km further would be a wonderful empty meadow with a small river, an old crypt and a small wood next door. But you have to start on the leveled wasteland. 😔
I absolutely love the honesty ! Your cloud shots are epic as is the image stabilisation. I laughed at the landing in the ploughed field. Those autumn colours on the tree were amazing. Brilliant video. Best I've seen all year !!! Your content & story telling are the best. ~ Well done.
@@AddictionHappiness I said so because the video truly shows what is the paragliding. It's not fun only. It's work, sometimes hard work and waiting, sometimes endless waiting for good weather conditions too.
@@AddictionHappiness I have been kite surfing for 20 years, ran my own school :-) Sailed the World... Thinking of buying a Moustache 18 / 22m and going down to the beach!! What's the chances of killing myself, I'd be going slow and learning ground control on nice 10 knot days :-) tuition is $5,000!!!!!
Breathtaking landscapes, but you're mostly focused on your lines, takeoff, finding thermals, avoiding clouds & rains & collision, possible exit strategies, wind direction, collapses, lift and sink, rotors, possible landing site and more
I laughed as soon as I saw the title! Paragliding has it's ups and downs, both are great experiences, but you haven't experienced a thunder storm until you have on top of a mountain!
Again a cool video as always :) Nice that u show it isnt always sunshine and lolipops :) Btw, a friend of mine will start to learn Parapente because of all the videos I show him of you flying everywhere ;-) Keep posting my friend. Love it! even tho i'm scared as f*ck from heights
Thank you soo much Nick!! Ha that’s epic to hear, wish him all the best on his flying journey it’s epic :)) Lots of cool project to come this year, super excited to share it with you. Thanks for support buddy! Btw, I am scared of heights too, but when paragliding... it just fades away 🤩
how do you film yourself, I initially thought you were being followed by another paraglider; are you towing a camera with some form of wing on it to self film ?
Without even watching this video, as a former hang glider pilot, I can guess the 2 main bitches: weather.., and finding friends willing to follow you once you start going cross country. IF you're not going XC, it get's boring pretty quick. Landing off airport, with a big tired bush plane, is what I do now, the best thing being I don't have to round up a crew every time i want to fly.
After couple of serious asymmetric collapses and several turbulence, I was more of scared than having fun. I am flying but the fun part is missing most of the time.
I live in Beijing, at the foot of the hills. Is it possible to find a spot where I can take off even if its elevation over see level is, say, 100meters or less?
Hi. Isn't it dangerous to fly over or inside the clouds? I never flown those wings, but I assume it is scary not EXACTLY to know what is below the cloudlayer. trees? power lines? maybe a plane? But I never flown them so no experience here :)
Hey 👋 Yes it can be very dangerous to fly above or inside clouds.. actually even illegal. It’s only good when you can see around or through clouds and you know area very well (also it must be legal)... like you said lots of things can go wrong, terrain, power lines, planes... you wanna avoid that at all costs. However it is possible to do it safely (fly around the clouds) if you consider all the things mentioned above ☀️ I have Q&A video about clouds on this channel, check it out :))
the 'ground handling' part helps to relieve the imposter syndrome. btw, how much do you practice ground handling per week/month/year/...? thanks for the video!
That’s good question.. I never really focused on time but when I started with paragliding and making my own wings.. I probably spent few hours per day every day (unless it was raining) Now over the years I still try to play around as much as possible. I find it super fun to ground handle on little slopes. So if conditions are good I can spend several hours messing around with the wing and wind :)) Happy that you enjoyed the video Vasiliy! More soon :))
Bad-Assery has to be earned somehow. Lately, I see a ton of people NOT going the extra mile. If you ask me you have to physically and emotionally invest for massive returns. Didn't have found anything better in life yet.
Do you still like paragliding? 😂

I never cared about weather so much untill I became a paraglider, now I look at the clouds with skepticism and content.
Yeah haha if you are into paragliding you are all in into weather too :))
Me too x)
Weather freaks right there haha :D

Thank you , this it the best video i have seen in my 50 years , keep it up

Great video! So fun to see what really happens oftentimes.
Haha exactly right!? Thank you Ced, glad that you enjoyed :) More soon 🔥
we take what we get.... it's never perfect, it can't be
So basically, the blooper reel of paragliding. Love it!
Haha we can call it like that yeah 😁👌🔥 More soon!!

Woshhhh 🦅🦅🦅
Most of the paragliding is looking at the weather forecast and getting sad / angry about it 😂
Feels like weather is our best friend but at the same time our worst enemy 🤣🔥
Sounds exactly like surfing
I loved this video. You made me laugh so much because I feel so related with everything! 😂😂
Thanks!! Happy to hear that 🦅🔥🤩 Well thats paragliding I guess 🤣

Epic. Enjoyed the content, presentation and smiled often at the ying/yang of it all. Very well made video sir.
Thank you soo much for your comment John!! More of these on the way 🔥
Freaking hilarious!! Shared w/ my paramotor buddies!
Yeaaa happy that you enjoyed it!! Thanks for your support ☀️🦅🙏🙌
most entertaining . youre vids outshine the others
Awww thank you soo much Jon!! 🤩
As a kitesurfer interested in learning to paraglide, I can say I have already mastered most of these skills!
That’s nice!! I am from kitesurfing background as well 🤩👌
Especially the waiting for weather part..

Love the video. I'm a skydiver but I'm thinking of trying paragliding. Being up in the sky for a longer lengths of time seems more appealing.
Thank you for describe
💯🙏
Love it!!! 😁😁😁
Thanks Stefan!! More soon 😍

Happy that you like it Pawel!! Soon more 😍🔥
This was so wholesome
Yehaaa 😍🙏 more soon!!
It looks like so much fun but... at 66 and on a fixed income, I will just have to watch. I wish this had been around in the 70's.
It is fun! It’s never too late buddy 🙏☀️🔥 You can always get the feeling with joining a tandem flight at least 🦅🦅🦅
Brilliant 👍
Thanks buddy!! 🙏
Super nice edit

Haha ohh yeah weather is the BIG deal here 😂👌👌👌 Pretty good that we have many different options of things to do when it’s flyable 🤩🔥
if you live anywhere near an ocean i think ridge soaring is the most fun to be had. down near the ground just skimming along and surfing the lift
@@saleplains When I said it gets boring "pretty quick", I meant after a few years! I flew HG for 5 years.
Magnifique et tellement vrai🤣
🙌🙌🙌
That
Was
Awesome
Thank
You
Sooo
Much
😍🦅🔥🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yehaaa :)))
After couple of serious asymmetric collapses and several turbulence, I was more of scared than having fun. I am flying but the fun part is missing most of the time.
4:00 That have been me whole winter in south sweden :(
Every coin has two sides 😂
fun vid~~👍
Hahah yep :))) thanks dude!!
Creative aljaz!😂
Yehaaaa lets gooo 🤩 More soon!!
Great video, proper loll moments. Thanks ;-)
Thank you soo much 😍 More series soon!!
Does anyone know the classical song that was in the background? Beautiful music!
Hey Jonathan music is “Reborn - Steven Gutheinz”
@@AddictionHappiness Thank you so much! I love having a new composer in my life!!!
Which type of little cloud is that? The blue and white one
this one is so COOL !!! :D
Thank you soo much! More soon :))
usually you would plan everything before going, but it would be unlucky if the weather changed
Does anybody know the place where the guy at 2:35 is flying?
It’s around mountain called Begunjscica in Slovenia 🔥
@@AddictionHappiness thanks^^
Adventure calls 😍
Ohh yeahh 🤩🔥👌
You doing good video bro
Thank you Rico 🤩🙏
Nice Video 😎
Thanks!! New episode today :))
I prefer to live in reality, keeps me humble.
🔥🔥
Oooo! Super porównanie. Ja mam pecha i zazwyczaj trafiam w te "złe" xD
What it missing: hours of waiting for the start with faint hope that the wind will change
😂👌 Gotta make part 2 haha
It is so painfull true...
Yep... 🔥
Soo true .. 😄
Hahah yeaaa 😅
hey i recommend u south of spain ! Matalascañas and Algodonales :)
Liked!
Thanks for your support!! It means a lot 😍🙏
fun to watch.. 😂
Thanks!!! Glad to hear that 🙌🙌
I live in Beijing, at the foot of the hills. Is it possible to find a spot where I can take off even if its elevation over see level is, say, 100meters or less?
Hey, sure it is possible to take off and fly from low spots like 100m or even less.. you can find low hill flying video on this channel 🔥
Hi. Isn't it dangerous to fly over or inside the clouds?

Wohoo happy that you enjoyed 🤩🔥
So good 😂 I made 2 times paragliding (Tandem) and for me it was like in your reality 🥴 I made a short film too 🎥
Yehaaaa!! That’s soo cool 🔥🔥🔥
Paragliding ... or as we call it - Parawaiting (for good weather)
Hahah yeah parawaiting it is 🤣👌🙏🦅🔥
so... try kiteboarding.. or even bether snowkiting and fly down the mountains like a speedwing ;)
Ohh yeah I am from kiting background 😍 it’s epic! To be honest I am missing it a little bit.. :))
We don't get high we stay high, paramotors allow life to be fully lived
To stay high!! 🥂 🍻 🔥🔥
😂. Perfekt Abo ist raus 👍
What is the music name? 00:01
SOOOOO TRUE! 🤣
Haha lets gooo 🔥 More tomorrow!!
🔥🔥🔥
Yehaaa 🔥🔥🙏🦅
I also want to be paraglider.
What's about it .
Please 🙏
Follow your dream! You can watch a lot of paragliding content on this channel 🔥
Brutal 🇵🇪😊😊😍🥰🥰
Yehaaa 🦅🔥🚀🙏
Ha..ha...Epic!!!
