PARAGLIDING VOL BIV INDIA - October 2023
After the X-Alps 2023, I returned to Northern India in October, re-connected with old mates and forged new ones. It was a very therapeutic trip. The flying in October/November is second to none, but the local people and fellow pilots cemented it for me as a place I will cherish for years to come.
I was lucky enough to be asked to join the guru Debu ( SkyDebu/) of Sky Summits (skysummits.com/volbiv.html) on the October Vol Biv guided trip. Are you keen on some Vol Biv in India? Please send us an email (info@skysummits.com) if you are keen.

PARAGLIDING INDIA - BRYAN MOORE - LEH to BIR VOL BIV
Переглядів 1,2 тис.5 місяців тому
Bryan Moore was the first to paraglide, vol biv style, from close to Leh to Bir in 2016. It was an incredible achievement. He asked me to edit the footage he had of the trip for a NZ Alpine Club presentation. I intended to make a cleaner edit, but other projects took over. Enjoy!

PARAGLIDING in NEW ZEALAND - Inspiring Aspiring NZ

How lucky am I? It must be due to my Irish heritage. My first flight in New Zealand (02/02/2019) just happened to be on one of the best days of the season and caught everyone by surprise. Bryan Moore (local living legend) had been trying to cross the divide north of Cascade Glacier for years but had always encountered a fierce headwind. For some reason, there was none that day. The flight, near...

PARAGLIDING IN INDIA - Let's go to Shaggy Dog
Переглядів 1135 місяців тому
In October 2019, paragliding friends set off on an adventure to fly and camp at Shaggy Dog. Shaggy Dog (ShagaDugh Camp) may just be one of those gems for adventure paragliding in the Kullu Valley, Himachal Pradesh, India. It is a perfect spot to camp and use as a base to explore the Kullu Valley and fly the imposing 6000 meter peaks lining it. It is also a great place to land and stay if on a l...
PARAGLIDER TOP LANDING NIESON @ 2000 METERS - RED BULL X-ALPS DAY 7
Переглядів 2,4 тис.6 місяців тому
This was a tricky top landing. The sign board was on top of Nieson at 2362. It was pumping on top, so I landed a bit lower. The wind was coming from the NW (blowing onto the cliff). The two hikers watched the whole thing unfold. #novaparagliders #paragliding #redbullxalps #novaxenon PLEASE SUBSCRIBE to help SUPPORT the channel!! I will give you a hug when I see you. Legends!

No gear? No wukkas. Red Bull X-Alps Day 5.
Переглядів 68111 місяців тому
Have you ever wondered what happens after walking hours up to a launch only to realise you only have the mandatory Red Bull X-Alps flying gear but no jacket or vario? Easy: borrow some clothes, glide to the next mountain, pop over the powerlines, pick up the gear, laugh, high-five, and then keep going.

Gday everyone. Guess what? I had two attempts to make a big treed crossing from the Hoéville launch. I didn't think I was high enough the first time, so I flew back to launch to gain more height. The second time I thought the same thing, but when I tried to push back to launch, the wind had strengthened considerably. I had seen this landing option on my first attempt but didn't think I would ne...

  • @petersfluege
    @petersfluege 5 місяців тому

    (google translation:) I love your raw videos! - Question: Why didn't you fly straight from here to the end of the valley at 11:27? It was 99% certain to find thermals plus wind there... You did great at 14:40, but again, why not go straight back? - You weren't too low because you don't lose any height towards the back.... IMHO 😉

    • @richiesadventures76
      @richiesadventures76 5 місяців тому

      At the time, I didn't think I had the height to reach the rocks. My worst-case scenario was to land near the small village, hike up from there, and try again (the village was on course line). Luckily I found a thermal off the trees and eventually got enough height to transition to the rocks and get out of there :). This was a really rewarding flight for me as it was quite stable, and I had to be really patient (previously, it was not my strong point, but I had been training for it). There's lots of pressure in a race like this. With hindsight, I would have done some things differently.... for sure.
