It is amazing how much damage our paraglider wings will take and still fly reasonably safely back to the ground. There is a video of the aftermath of a mid-air collision where almost 1/3 rd of the wing tore from end to end separating from the main wing and the thing still was flying enough where the pilot did not need to throw his reserve to get down safely. Incredible.
Awesome vlog Paul!! Makes me miss Austria so much (I'm from Sydney) I spent a lot of time there exactly 2 years ago, autumn is so stunning, keen for more hike and flys.
Excellent. Really appreciate the quick comment about helmet use. Free flight! Really interesting to see the reality of a couple aborted take offs-not everything smooth, even for an X-Alps pilot.
Mega cooles Video aber wie du am Anfang sagst das du wenig zeit hast und dan kommen so geile Aufnahme. Wollte mal fragen wan du zum fliegen angefangen hast, da ichs echt geil finde wie du unterwegs bist.
Fun! Who was flying the drone? I think I would have spent longer laying the glider out before I attempted to take off, seeing as I have to buy my own gliders :-)
Thanks for replying... I only ask because at 6:25 it didn't look as though you were flying it (although in the next scene I realise you filmed yourself catching it :--) )
Good stuff Paul. Tomorrow I put tape on my poles. Thanks for continuing to do these

I love it! #guschlpower
Really nice watching your paragliding blods! Keep up the great work
hi Pauli,
again a cool video with some amazing colours in th alps!
But that 1st start you aborted on the very last millimetre.
always happy landing...
0:56 redbull mit wasser? :D
A höm war ned schlecht. Ned jeder Hod so an hartn schädl wie da skymann
:-)
Another great video! But watching that glider rip was sad
Wer wenig Hirn hat, baucht auch keinen Helm
war heute auch am hochtörl. wir hatten ein ähnliches problem mit dem wind :-P
mussten auch über die kante hüpfen ;)
I really like your vlog. Keep it up an take care.
all this time I thought you had to be an American Southerner to firstly think of duct tape
Nice, but I was worried when it didn't open second time. Enjoy and be safe 7abibi!
Hatte erst gedacht, dass du wieder zu Fuß herunterläufst :D
leaves helm and rescue to save weight..
brings drone instead.
nice priorities! :)
Another amazing video. Did you make it on time to your appointment? LOL Thanks for the idea about using the duct tape!

No helmet, but a drone. Haha, todays priorities
I would probably have walked down. :D
Thank You!

+Tim Pentreath I'm flying the drone myself- there was nobody with me up there. Cheers

Yiha thumbs up. Paul Neistad
love this video, great! did you take the drone also?
>repairs with duct tape
>still flies down
Hallo Paul, welcher Berg war das? Konnte es im Video nicht erkennen..
Hope these redbull guys are readyfor Type 2 diabetes. Great videos
Hi, super vlog! What drone are u using?
+Anze Pristov thanks!
I use the dji Mavic, it's the perfect compromise of quality and weight. Cheers
Nice:) Thank you
haha drone > rescue
Was ist das für ein Gleitschirm?
Sucks to see the conspicuous product placement at the beginning of the vid...total turn off🇨🇦
dear pilot this is not a takeoff site , change your takeoff point and chose the clean area
He’s an X Alps pilot, pretty sure he’s capable of launching damn near anywhere
😄
For an X-Alps pilot the any where he touch becomes official launch site :)
como te gusta chupar cámara Paul!!!
