I never cared about weather so much untill I became a paraglider, now I look at the clouds with skepticism and content.

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)))
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. 😔

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.

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

usually you would plan everything before going, but it would be unlucky if the weather changed
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 ?
I see nothing bad in reality either, it's all awesome

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 :))
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.

Whats is this song
every cloud is lined with a silver mountain
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 :)
@AddictionHappiness
2 жыл бұрын
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 :))
Definitely spent waaaaaay more time parawaiting than paragliding...
