Wow, what a career and life so far Greg! You've inspired myself and I'm sure many others, and that's only talking about the last chapter. I'm keenly tuned and rooting for you in this next one..
Thanks Kieran, your own film making is great so I'm sure we'll be hanging out together in the youtube 'recommended videos' sidebar for a long time - perhaps we can make something fun together in the Highlands?
What Is Islam? Islam is not just another religion. It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham. Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God. It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone. It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine. The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as: { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4) Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus. Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him
6:38.... Greg, I can't IMAGINE your father not being proud of your accomplishments. Also, will be buying your books. I have been reading fantasy novels since I was a boy of 13; based on the reviews I'll be sharing your series with my oldest daughter in no time! Anyway be proud of what you have accomplished, in paragliding alone you have probably enhanced so many pilots abilities and probably have saved lives with your teaching. And you have set your daughter on a limitless path by showing you can achieve your dreams by hard work and determination. Best of luck and happy flying!
Greg, even after all these years you continue to inspire pilots both old and new with your brilliantly crafted and narrated videos. A big thank you from all in the freeflight community for sharing your journey and insight into our collectively loved world of ultimate freedom. We salute you, to those that dare!
Thank you Greg. Such a great story. I just started @ 53 here in Hokkaido, Japan and I'm not going to lie - I had panic attacks after I finally decided to spend the BIG money it can take and follow this long-time dream to fly. And I still have a lot of fear because I literally am on day 4 and am just now running down the slope and catching some air. But it's people like you and a video like this that helps me to push forward to make it to the day when I soar off the top of the mountain - overcome my fear and make my dream come true. All the best.
If this is not inspirational, nothing is!! Your story resonates on so many levels. We all have our "thing", and sometimes we loose sight of the goals. Your story gives hope to the un-hoped for, gives voice to the unpublished, gives meaning to the meaningless...!! Just luvit!!
You are pure free flying soul! You was at begging of this beautiful sport ❤ . Is just amazing how we can do what just birds did for thousands years . Many people was dreaming about this technological step, people were risk and loosing there life's in past , jumping off from cliffs, hills, to make their dreams of free flying like birds. Experimenting and finding the way to reach the sky's. We living in Gold age of pure free flying. Honor to everyone in pass 🙏 You doing great job to keeping everyone safe👍 Your videos are inspirational and educational. Love them ! Take care and fly safe like always. Thank you !
You to a "free flying soul" ya crazy m f..... 😉 Just watched your vid on the Cure 2 after doing a quick hike n fly for the first time since all this craziness. Great to have guys like Greg and yaself showing how to enjoy life. Flyyyyyyy on guys 🕊
GREG I SALUTE YOU ! I HAVE FOLLOWED YOU FOR SOMETIME AND GREATLY ENJOYED YOUR FLICKS AND VERY USEFUL COMENTS AND INSTRUCTIONS , I THINK YOU ARE "LEGEND" ! I WANT TO MAKE FLYING MY LAST CHAPTER AND THE LONGEST IN MY LIFE!
I can keep repeating this sentence...; “ this was you best film ever” ....Once again inspiring. Thx for this personal insight and all the best with your plans!
Thanks Milco, it's funny, I'm always left feeling a bit dissatisfied with anything I create, which pushes me on to make a better one ... I suppose that's why I create. :-) I had to skip past so many stories and good friends to make this one, but I hope everyone enjoys the glimpse of history.
Thanks Greg, May your dad be proud and your daughter free. A lovely story of your flying career so far. I'm flying tonight. Pushed into the sky by a noisy two stroke motor. Free flight seems very peaceful. Thanks Sandy
That was a very inspiring 8 minutes Greg. I would say flying was my - "reason to be". Starting with my mates pushing me up and down the pavement outside my house in a home built cart with linoleum covered wings when I was 9 or 10 years old, later, about 13 years old, going into work with my dad when he worked at Saunders Roe and hanging around the hangar doors until I got helicopter rides in the Scout, Wasp and Skeeter with the test pilots asking if I wanted a little flip - did I ? A charity parachute jump when I was 40 nearly ended in disaster with cracked vertebrae when the round military chute pendulumed close to the ground and landed me on my back. I was determined to never leave a serviceable aeroplane again and started flying lessons in a Cessna 152. I remember my mum and dad being so proud of their little 42 year old taking them for a flight in the schools 172 when I achieved my PPL. I progressed to a commercial licence that I never actually used but continued flying GA. I started paragliding lessons on the Isle of Wight with a view to paramotoring and visited our Fresh Breeze friends in Germany to buy one of their machines. My 120 hours or so paramotoring were stand out experiences and I got so much out of it, one highlight being the sharing of a thermal with a Buzzard over The New Forest. I don't paramotor any more, I may again but I have a Foxbat aeroplane now and (and this is the point) can't wait to get back into the air again and look down like a bird and smiling and thinking WOW, how privileged am I? I felt that with your film, thanks, James.
It's so amazing how many pilots I have yapped with around the campfire that have a similar early story! I'm no different, nor is my own dad; it's in the blood, it's gotta be. We're all brethren in the sky.
Beautiful, Greg! Thanks for sharing your story. Newbie flyer her with a handfull of hours. You are the most inspirational pilot on TH-cam, thanks for being there and guiding us.
Thanks Greg for your inspiration,I’m only dreaming not flying,but you’ve made me feel like I’ve flown around the world with all your videos,thanks again
Now I am sitting here with tears in my eyes. Great story, great life. And all of your videos show a nice guy, who loves his life. Best regards from Germany!
Thanks Martin ... but then again, I only show the happy guy that gets to fly all the time, not this grumpy dad who is trying to do homeschooling or edit videos on a nice sunny day ... grrr ;-)
Good luck Greg on new endeavor. You have one more follower! I have enjoyed your videos for a while now. They are inspiring.... thanks for keeping true to yourself and for sharing it with us !!!!
Yay! I got a mention in your vid! :) Was so cool to share in a small way in your story Greg. Oh btw way, love your little girl and she is now my little hero for saying HG is better... Hehehe... ;)
Johan, you're a legend, and I wish we'd pulled off our original plan for Fresh Air Riders: a spectacular XC volbiv trip along the mountain chain. The nature of freeflight makes it so unscriptable. Guess that's why we love it still, after all these years. Guaranteed to surprise, inspire ... and lead one completely astray!
Dear Greg The video you made is very beautiful, exciting and touching. Thank you very much . I wish you many years of self-fulfillment and safe flights
Such an inspiring story Greg. I've started to watch your videos even before realizing that i was going to be a paragliding pilot. I am a pilot for 7 years now. Keep Up!
You are just amazing, Love all your videos . I'am starting my why on this flying world and your videos have been so useful. Greetings from Colombia 🇨🇴 Hope to meet you soon.
Loved your story Greg love your passion, your adventures have inspired me, just bought a paraglider and currently absorbing all your valuable knowledge, i can listen to you all day, your professional and safety advice gives me confidence to fly, and one day hopefully I'll be good enough to fly with Greg, thank you and look foreword to your future videos.
Dude, what a story so far! Living in SA just off the Garden Route, I've had the immense privilege of flying with Jan Anderson, Nevil Hullet and Pete Wallender. They are still legends! Thanks for the great content, it's always inspiring and informative.
Nice one chap its nice to feel your passion, you fly safe now, and cheers for the flybubble videos they really are the 1st video standard people have tried to emulate. You have made a real difference with regards to safe flying and helped so many stay safe so hats of to you for that. Pete
Thanks for sharing Greg! That was, like all of your videos, inspirational. My dad also set the bar for me, it is very important to be around and a model for the kids. If everyone was like you Greg, the world would be a much much better place
Haha I love fantasy books and I’m a pilot. Look forward to checking your books out! Nice life story too and agree with your parenting advice. ...Give them the chance to feel how amazing the world can be.
You say that you want to make your dad proud of you... I'm sure he already is !! Thank you for the beautyful and instructional vodeos you provide Greg ! Best regards from Switzerland ! ...and by the way, I'm reading fantasy and I love it !
Great video mate. I'm just about to start flying and should get my PG2 in a few weeks time. I have my own setup ready to go and both of my kids (aged 3 and 5) are wanting to fly with me. Hopefully soon they will be able to. Thanks for all of your video's and the work you have done over the years, much respect man
Greg, your work is absolutely amazing: so many of your videos - including this one - leave me moved and deeply inspired. What talent you have on so many fronts! Thanks for everything you give to us free flyers :-)
