Quick update: I have been training to become a paragliding pilot in Switzerland for around a year now, and will be obtaining the license (hopefully) by March of this year!
I remember the moment when I wasn't flying still and saw this video... A few years later I am so grateful to fly around the world and share the moments 🙏 Chase your dreams #yolo

King of random is still a channel, though I’m really sad about how grant passed, it’s unreasonable to also say goodbye to his (still operating) channel. Edit: if you are talking about how he is the king of random then sorry for making you read that.
He was person who started the channel “The King of Random.” His channel basically consisted of cool D.I.Y. hacks and ideas. His friends and coworkers now run his channel. Now it’s more based on experiments. He passed due to a paragliding accident.
@@sajithnair2753 - I’m assuming it was because he paraglided (if that’s even a word) in the wrong type of weather, and the odds of this happening are very low.
Some of the scenery in this one is unbelievable. th-cam.com/video/GVC_DibiXLg/w-d-xo.html And another one just for fun. th-cam.com/video/Sv3xVOs7_No/w-d-xo.html

Gorgeous video. I saw it many times, and after some time see it again and feel a great pleasure! Music and picture is perfect! This is absolutely my favorite video about paragliding. Thank you a lot!
Sorry if I missed it somewhere in the comments but where was this filmed? It's extraordinary scenery. I could only imagine how much more beautiful it would be in the winter!
Wait. I thought this was the same video that was supposedly POV footage and the pilot was in front of a green-screen /blue-screen to simulate the angle. This was actually shot with a chase cam & gimbal?! WOW!! Astounding quality. I guess it must've been a skeptical commenter that said "green-screen." Holy buckets, I gotta watch this again. Whole new appreciation. :)
Amazing. Just had my taster day for Paragliding. Loved it and will be going all the way and hopefully be doing something like this one day. Great video. Thank you.
awesome video and music i really like it but i was wondering how much would this cost i mean the wings and all the equipment and is it more cheaper paragliding or speed flying ? i love both lol
How do the two pilots get together at 3:31? Flying behind each and grabbing each others feet? I once saw a Video with 3 people doing it, i think its were 3 Gradients.
edfisking don’t compare X to the king either, both of them accomplished many things, it’s disgusting that your trying to bash a dead person for no fcking reason, everyone is coming on to this video to pay respects to the king while your just trying to talk shit about another dead guy? X and king are “legends” they both inspired ppl, gained a lot of popularity, and had millions to billions of views. Fuck you for disrespecting the dead.
I've never seen a better paragliding video! I can't understand how they got the video b/c I can't see the trailing attachment that keeps a camera in place. Anyone know?
This is so awesome :)) I want to start flying, but can anyone give me some tips? - What glider is good to buy for a beginner OR how to start? - Where are good flying spots in europa, especially in Austria, Italy and Switzerland? - How long does it take to fly like the main guy in this video? Would be thankful to get any information :)
Its actually pretty easy to learn it. For sure I would recommend you to join a school for learning it. They will tell you all about the equipment. If you don't have that much of money they often make you a very good offer for a second hand glider! In Switzerland you have to make a theory exam and after that you must have at least 50 flights under supervision of a teacher and then you can go for the practical exam. if you pass that you are officially allowed to fly. There are thousands of beautiful places to fly in the alps. If you join a school they mostly offer flying holidays. There you have the chance to travel to the most famous ones like Dune de Pyla in France, The Dolomites in Italy or the main valley in Wallis Switzerland. Its very hard to tell you how long it will take you to fly like the main guy in this video. For sure you are going to be able to glide like him on your very first flight. The difficult thing is just to get to the spots where he is. If you take a closer look he is a lot of times under the cloudbase. That means he had to take thermals to go up there. But to be able to fly in thermals and actually just to find them is something that needs a lot of experience. It depends on the weather conditions. on the direction the mountain faces (S, E, W, N), on the humidity of the air and in the end on your skills to read the terrain and your ability to spot thermals. If you want to have the joy of flying thermals even if you are a beginner go to Organya in Spain. Its also called the Magic Mountain. It's special location in the valley and the fact it faces south generates extremely good conditions to fly thermals. Its also known as the eldorado for acro paragliders. I hope I gave you the informations you asked for. If you have the opportunity go and learn to fly. It's a feeling that I cant explain you just need to feel it! Have fund and stay safe!
Very cool video. A part of me wants to try this someday. I don't know if I have the courage! One question: do your arms become tired in that position for so long?

The best paragliding video ever!
I watched it already at least hundred times.
During these hard times this is my source of hope and inspiration.
Thanks!

Wow! The perspective that you get in this video is just amazing. Also, that's the first time I've seen someone do a loop to loop in a paraglider.
Rest in peace Grant. Such an amazing guy.
What happened?
@Polar Barracuda oh that sucks 😞 happens to even the most skilled people I suppose. RIP.

the music makes paragliding seem so beautiful but also so sad bc this beautiful hobby was a cause of a king’s death. rip
I think the music made it scary
Just when i was about to buy an paramotor!! damn.
r h o d e s i a Didnt he pass in a skydiving accident, not a paragliding one?
Still the best PG video on TH-cam. I watch it quite often. It inspires me to train and set goals. Bravo!
That looks simultaneously peaceful and terrifying
Beeindruckend gut stabilisierte Verfolgercam, tolle Wolkenaufnahmen, geniales Panorama, gut ausgewählte Musik. Spitzenmässig!

Beautiful! May I know where was this shot? In which city or cities? I would like to go there and learn paragliding.
Sorry if I missed it somewhere in the comments but where was this filmed? It's extraordinary scenery. I could only imagine how much more beautiful it would be in the winter!
I believe Austria
Fantastic video, really nice to watch. An essence of paragliding, beautiful viewes, some acro, great music, bravo!
beautiful love the video. this is why I want to paraglide.
In this online store e-web.top/category/beauty/ a lot of site templates on the topic of Beauty , if anyone needs it, you can use my advice.
Thank you. I rarely fly these days (family/location). Great footage and music.
Since rollercoaster rides aren't enough, I'll be learning how to do this when I'm old enough.
Beautiful.And the natural beauty is spectacular.
Did the guy at 3:08 survive?
paralaks It was a trick. He's totally fine.
It's called the "infinity tumbling", and it may be the hardest paragliding move ;) It's kind of risky cause it makes you lose altitude quickly
Low key freaked out seeing that.
I have a feeling I would do an "infinity tumbling" really easy, on accident, my first time flying, and lose all the altitude.
paralaks d no
RIP Grant Thompson.
The world will never be the same without you.
Any chance of a video to show us your Chase Cam? Also, what actual cam are you using?

Amazing. Just had my taster day for Paragliding. Loved it and will be going all the way and hopefully be doing something like this one day. Great video. Thank you.
Awesome! Based on how stable the video was and that the horizon was level even when turning it looks like he had the camera mounted on a 3axis gimbal.
1000 thumbs up for this wonderful video. I watched it many times. I am a paraglider too
Amazing! Live your life today!! You may not be here tomorrow
Still the best PG video, after all these years. I watch it again when the weather is unflyable and I need inspiration!
