My hugest respect and gratitude for everyone in this video and all of those from these eras who weren't, you were the pioneers of this sport and lifestyle that now takes up about 70-80% of my own life, so thank you, to who ever you are and where ever you were/are, much love from Australia
Encore merci pour cette belle vidéo ! Ça me redonne un bon coup de jeune merci et puis, souvenirs sur mon terrain « de Jeux » préféré ….Saint-Hilaire du Touvet.. et ses coupes Icares magnifiques
Most of those really early paragliding efforts were made with freefall canopies which were constructed from unproofed nylon so the sink rate was too high. PU proofed nylon made a lot of difference to development.
Some of those early paragliding wings were actually quite stable and never suffered any collapses in turbulence. I used to fly one called SPP-30 in USSR around 1990-1992
Looks like some of the early paraglider were using skydiving gear. I remember trying to paraglide with our skydiving rigs at Elsinore. Didn’t work too good.
Con esas alas Delta (Rogallo) y esos parapentes (cajoneros) comencé a volar yo, hoy en día continuo volando, pero con material nuevo, que tiempos, eso era riesgo, no lo de ahora, jejejeje
Como nuevo participante en el deporte, gracias por pavimentar el camino para las futuras generaciones! Viendo las viejas alas me sorprende que el deporte no fue clausurado por las autoridades!
Que pánico tirarse con aquello. !! Cuántos tobillos, cabezas y vértebras se habrán roto en esos primeros años de experiencias. Gracias por vuestro esfuerzo. Y el de los traumatólogos.

Heey Patrick, you do any pottery sculpting lately?
One of those very few dreams that I managed to catch in my life.... Flight, there is nothing like it :)
I thought the early hang glider pilots were nuts until I saw some of these paraglider pioneers

Navigator 260 should do it 😂
Some of the shots on snow was from a comedy promo made for Aisles de K, a prominent manufacturer back in the day
3:31 Looks like that's Point of the Mountain south side!
All about climbers not having repel.
The glidet at 2:10 looks like a Wasp Gryphon III
