The Pyrenees! Ai ai ai! If you enjoyed this kind of adventure there's more videos over in ua-cam.com/play/PLxfEDBaYDo5woGaoh82DDiQL8mXSibOuv.html
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.
Gonna save this one for tonight, popcorn ready, looking forward!!
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)
Oh, man, what an adventure. "The magnificent men in their flying machine" a bit more extreme. I love it. Great story telling.
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.
Great Greg!! you have transmitted the truth of the essence of the X-Pyr 🤩👏🏻👏🏻 bravo
This is phenomenal viewing. Thank you for bringing us along on your adventure.
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?
I really appreciate and aspire to your attitude to risk. Your anchors around safety dont impact on you having fun. A recipe for long term good times. Hero. 👊.
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.
Ahhhh the memories!! What a crazy 10 days we all had together, love you guys ♥️
real hard race but ya mind was a rainbow....I bow down, great !!
From Venezuela. Thanks Greg for sharing that great adventure. I always see your evidence and support on the flight. Congratulations.
This one of your best films Greg. I admire your tenacity. I aspire to undertake something like this.
Thanks Nick! No need to make it difficult for yourself ... just go have an adventure, it all starts with a hill and a wing 🙂
So good seeing this in one film. Thank you.
Amazing video thank you very much Greg
I loved every minute of this! Thank you for sharing it with us Mr Greg.
impressive, exciting, inspiring! thank you
Thank you very much for this video! I really enjoy whatching this😊
beautiful documentary! Congrats Greg for your beautiful race and experience you made!!
I truly appreciate your optimism and especially your positive attitude, even when the weather doesn't always cooperate.
what an endevour!!!! thanks for sharing this golden tips
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!
Great video - highly inspiring so thank you! “Goals” 😎
Love this it’s like a pro documentary! Watched whole thing
Awesome Greg, watched the race and followed u quite a bit, was great to see the conditions you faced at different times and remembering back to the weather apps I was looking at. Can't believe I only just watched ur compilation.
Great adventure!
Great film Greg. Really enjoyed this and very inspirational from someone who has nearly finished their CP training. I'm also a film editor and colourist so I can appreciate the challenges involved! Keep the films coming!
🎉 super thank you and Mahalo 🎉
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.
Good storytelling!
Brilliant filming greg, loved every bit of it kept me glued to the screen the whole time, i see Darren and Keith managed to get on the film last few seconds😂,
ha yes, I had a photo of Keith doing his thing during the race but it wasn't family friendly :-) good lads up north, we had a laugh
love the new meaning of "track log" and "fly with greg" 😂 ; bravo ! great storytelling despite challenging conditions
Glad you enjoyed it! Filming and racing at the same time is .. gruelling ... but my support crew made up for it with great times in the evening!
Thanks for a really inspiring movie.
I have to ask, have you redesigned your Lightpack ULS ?
Impressive, it would be interesting to see what your physical changes were over the 7 days (for example how much weight did you drop).
🍿
How in the word did you find that Nikki Leonti song at ~49:00. It’s beautiful. I can’t find it anywhere
voll damm beer !!! I agree!!
8:06 👀
Please do you have a Turkish option for subtitles? It is very important for us to benefit from your information.
