The X-PYR STORY (Full version)

To make this work, I've got to fly 600km! This hike and fly paragliding race runs along the border between Spain and France. Enjoy a week of highs and lows in the X-PYR 2022. From the cloudy coast to the snowline of the Pyrenees, the pace is fast and the flying is full-blown.

    Greg, you are the best story telling paragliding pilot out there. Superb. Your race impressed me more than following the leaders. Chrigel can really fly but your storytelling inspires! Keep it up.

    Hello Greg, this is Maximo, we met on the Xpyr2016. I have enjoyed so much the film. It's amazing what you have done with only one camera and all this motivation. Congratulations for being as big person. I send you a big hug.

    Fantastic film. Much better than some of the official ones from X-Pyr or X-Alps. Shows the daily challenges, and emotions that one experiences in a race like this. Thank you for making it. Are you going to try again?

    Thanks Alex ... things get pushed a bit close to the limits in these races, I prefer self-paced adventures where risk:reward isn't interfered with so much.

    Mad respect Greg! All those trials & eventual triumphs precisely summarized the emotional highs & lows of my flying career. Real desperation stuff, finally rewarded at 55:00. Sorry we never flew together too often. Regards, "Ninja" (HG & PG)

    What a great story and event Greg ... thanks so much for sharing. As a long-time not so competitive HG pilot I really enjoy your videos and appreciate the smart/safety conscious decision-making emphasis you bring. As they say, there are old pilots, bold pilots but not so many old and bold pilots.

    Fantastic video, Greg. It was exciting to watch you fight the race. A pity you couldn't fly more. But, yes, the conditions of this edition were very tricky (as even the first ones remind us in the award ceremony). Once again, thanks for your great video. See you again!
