Its so nice to see a Paragliding video without music in the background so that you can hear all of the sounds of the wind, instruments and also the emotions of the pilot. It makes it so much more real for the viewer. Great video!
Freakin' amazing video dude! I started PG, and I can't wait to get to cloudbase. Loved the narrations on your video, and the excitement when you punched out of that cloud!
I think this is a normal strong thermal from the cloud. I was myself at Bulgaria last year caught by a dust devil with 8-9 m, uiet more rough and that one gives my during climbing several massive colapses of the wing right, left, and front and it was heavy to get out of it. But for sure a very nice climb with 4 -5/6 meters of you :-)
Bullshit! Do you think a dustdevil just stops 300m above ground? Of course the thermal from the dustdevil continues up to the inversion and becomes less violent with altitude. I am sure this was a dustdevil, at least at the bottom.
Me too but actuallt the higher you are the more time you have to fix any problems that might occur, and plenty of time to therow out the emergency parachute
Great video! Pure XC without music... just the sound of your vario, wind and your voice..... would you please tell us the camera you have and where you placed it in your harness?
thanks mate! go pro 3 black 1080 60fps setting , camera is mounted on my helmet on top, back casing is the non waterproof case for improved sound quality
there's a number of ways to achieve descent but you should really get trained on any of those techniques. they involve increasing the speed decreasing the wing surface and getting out of the thermal updraft. you can also perform Maneuvers such as wingovers to reduce altitude quickly
Yes, you're basically correct. A dust devil has both strong lift and extremely fast rotation. Close to the ground, they often pick up dust and debris - hence the name "dust devil.". The lift at this stage of the video appears to be a strong thermal without violent rotation.
andrew craig This was near the sea of Galilee in the north of Israel next to the Jordan border en route to the other side with start being Tavor Mountain.
Mattyew True, thats why you need to check prior and generally stay away from clouds, also there were others in the air and we notify each other if we see something. But yes, cloud flying should be avoided.
@@XCFlyingBlog So a parasail buddy is going to tell you from a distance that there is an airplane headed your way and expect you to do anything about it? Don't know about the Middle East, but in the U.S. cloud separation standards are there for everyone's safety, although somehow I doubt you would care.

Better with no music. these videos are great
yes
That excitement at the very end! 👏🏻🙌🏼 Can relate!!! Great footage man!

John Marchan Cheers mate :-) If you have any questions or need any help feel free to PM me on paragliding forum I'm AdrenalineAddicted on there.
Sweet video buddy, I could feel those lines stretching : )
more videos please!! haha don't change a thing love your Style!! makes me want to get out and fly
Another one of my favorite videos.

Always a weird experience in the white room.
Looks like 5500 feet? Great lift. Smooth
It's a simply strong thermal...in a dust devil it's different
exactly what I was thinking.
Bullshit!

Yep. I have no idea where he got the idea that dust devils are responsible for creating clouds.
I'd be scared shitless that high
Me too but actuallt the higher you are the more time you have to fix any problems that might occur, and plenty of time to therow out the emergency parachute
Haha, had my suspicions about the location, finally the radio chatter gave you over.

+Marcelo Montedonio Its a Go Pro 3 Black 1080 60 fps setting , mounted onto the top of my helmet.
cloud base is one of the best things in life
I could not tell what direction you where going once in that cloud, so disorienting.
Imagine seeing a plane coming into that cloud!! 😱
Was that trublance
What the hell is beeping?
its a variometer it tells you when you climbing or sinking
its the best sound that paragliding pilot can hear :) at least the ones that enjoy the thermals :)
Did you know that a dust devil's wind maximum is 80mph. Yeah, that's enough power to lift you off the ground.
Actually, a dust devil can become stronger, but if it does, it is called a landspout.
nice
May sound dumb, but if youre climbing etc and dont want to be, how do you stop that? (Am looking into paragliding..)

Thanks! Yeah im not going to attempt it without doing a full course first :)
In case anyone is looking for some answers: Speedbar, trims, spirals, wingovers, big ears, all will increase your descent rate.
First of all, you leave the climbing air!
whats that wing you using?
Ricky?!
Ricky from the launch by dust devil video? lol. Good one.
Isent a dust devil a tornado from dust particles ?
TheGamingProj3ct228 no their from heat
Dust devils are from strong heat in a particular area

i get nervous just being high up in building and looking out the window. No WAY I could handle something like this..I woudl probably pass out.
Nice ride ; )
Where was this shot/flown?
andrew craig This was near the sea of Galilee in the north of Israel next to the Jordan border en route to the other side with start being Tavor Mountain.
That was pretty crazy. Had me freaking out a bit. Would love to get into something like this.
Russell Lee Its alot of fun and not as hard as you'd think to get started but does take some dedication.
Cool! It would be nice preview for a horror movie :-o
Spanked on the way in to bliss...
Where is this ?
Oops, never mind
but planes can't see you in the clouds lol..i've seen a plane come close before!

man you really cant see shit in a cloud
Careful you catch a scud up there.
Language! Not necessary. Messed up a great video.
It didn't mess up anything. He is his own person if you don't like his language please have fun looking for another video without it. Have a nice day.
Zoe PERIOD am late af but who care
