I never cared about weather so much untill I became a paraglider, now I look at the clouds with skepticism and content.
Yeah haha if you are into paragliding you are all in into weather too :))
Me too x)
Weather freaks right there haha :D
Ain't that the truth ;-). Especially the 'Ground-handling' advice...could save your life. Good 'kiters' tend to make good pilots ;-)
Thanks for ALL your uploads :D
Most of the paragliding is looking at the weather forecast and getting sad / angry about it 😂
Feels like weather is our best friend but at the same time our worst enemy 🤣🔥
Sounds exactly like surfing
Thank you , this it the best video i have seen in my 50 years , keep it up
Aww thank you soo much Joey!! 🤩🙏 More soon!!!
So basically, the blooper reel of paragliding. Love it!
Haha we can call it like that yeah 😁👌🔥 More soon!!
we take what we get.... it's never perfect, it can't be
Great video! So fun to see what really happens oftentimes.
Haha exactly right!? Thank you Ced, glad that you enjoyed :) More soon 🔥
Absolutely agree) And the worst thing as for me is the total mismatch of google maps view and real place sometimes. Its worth nothing to see an new village built month ago instead of grass hill as it seen on maps)))
Hahah. that's awesome. From one global hanggliding, paragliding, speedwing flying, skydiving, airplane flying, PPG flying, ultralight flying pilot to another....Cheers mate! Been there...SAME thing happens to me and I'm glad you showed this. All the hard work for the amazing shots and vids are worth...we tell ourselves that over and over WHILE cliimbing, hiking, camping and getting rained on and stuff in traffic and the $$ too. LOL. Great job! It's worth it!
Hey flying buddy!! Wohoo 🎉 happy that you enjoyed it!! That’s what it is :)) we are all the same here I guess hahaha lets gooo!!! If we wanna fly we have to suffer sometimes 😂😂😂
Nice vídeo man. That's is why we love paragliding. Cause we love to fly. And yes. Shit happens. I had an accident a month ago and I lost my wing. But I will fly again in a while. I think the most important thing is try to fly always with other paragliders.
Thanks! Hope you are good after accident! Wings can always be replaced 🔥 good idea to fly with others :))
I had to stay to the end for If it's flyable, knowing well that frustration from flying (and not flying) back in the 1990s. Brilliant content to engage those who think you jump out of perfectly servicable aircraft!
Woshhhh 🦅🦅🦅
As a kitesurfer interested in learning to paraglide, I can say I have already mastered most of these skills!
That’s nice!! I am from kitesurfing background as well 🤩👌
Especially the waiting for weather part..
@@AddictionHappiness I have been kite surfing for 20 years, ran my own school :-) Sailed the World... Thinking of buying a Moustache 18 / 22m and going down to the beach!! What's the chances of killing myself, I'd be going slow and learning ground control on nice 10 knot days :-) tuition is $5,000!!!!!
Awesome video Aljaz I feel it. 😁 When it came to breathtaking landscapes, I had to think of our compulsion to always visit boring airfields that looked the same. And 10 km further would be a wonderful empty meadow with a small river, an old crypt and a small wood next door. But you have to start on the leveled wasteland. 😔
Happy that you like it buddy!! 🤩 Awwhh sometimes it can be tricky yeah 😫
I loved this video. You made me laugh so much because I feel so related with everything! 😂😂
Thanks!! Happy to hear that 🦅🔥🤩 Well thats paragliding I guess 🤣
I laughed as soon as I saw the title! Paragliding has it's ups and downs, both are great experiences, but you haven't experienced a thunder storm until you have on top of a mountain!
Hahah yeaaa!! For sure ups and downs always there :) Thunder on top of mountain sux!!
This video is SO true !!
Breathtaking landscapes, but you're mostly focused on your lines, takeoff, finding thermals, avoiding clouds & rains & collision, possible exit strategies, wind direction, collapses, lift and sink, rotors, possible landing site and more
I absolutely love the honesty ! Your cloud shots are epic as is the image stabilisation. I laughed at the landing in the ploughed field. Those autumn colours on the tree were amazing. Brilliant video. Best I've seen all year !!! Your content & story telling are the best. ~ Well done.
Awww thank you soo much for your words!! Really appreciate your support 🤩🙏🔥 Excited to share more of these soon!!
excellent merci pour ta vidéo !
Thanks for watching 🙏🔥
Still wanna paraglide tho.
The best video about paragliding I've ever seen!
Aww thanks for that comment Alexey!! More soon 🤩🙏
@@AddictionHappiness I said so because the video truly shows what is the paragliding. It's not fun only. It's work, sometimes hard work and waiting, sometimes endless waiting for good weather conditions too.
Thank you for making videos that make me smile!
Freaking hilarious!! Shared w/ my paramotor buddies!
Yeaaa happy that you enjoyed it!! Thanks for your support ☀️🦅🙏🙌
Epic. Enjoyed the content, presentation and smiled often at the ying/yang of it all. Very well made video sir.
Thank you soo much for your comment John!! More of these on the way 🔥
most entertaining . youre vids outshine the others
Awww thank you soo much Jon!! 🤩
Blooper collection, cool,this is why we fly!:D
True that!🔥😄
Love the video. I'm a skydiver but I'm thinking of trying paragliding. Being up in the sky for a longer lengths of time seems more appealing.
It looks like so much fun but... at 66 and on a fixed income, I will just have to watch. I wish this had been around in the 70's.
It is fun! It’s never too late buddy 🙏☀️🔥 You can always get the feeling with joining a tandem flight at least 🦅🦅🦅
Definitely spent waaaaaay more time parawaiting than paragliding...
Yikesss.. I mean weather is horrible these days :/
Lot of fun. Exactly what I lived last 20 years with lot of pleasure and great moments.
Ohh yeahh 🤩 That’s what we do right? 🙏🙏🙏
Awesome mate❤
Thank you both 🙏🏼 made my day 😅
Wohoo happy to hear that!! Gotta do more of these 😁😁
how do you film yourself, I initially thought you were being followed by another paraglider; are you towing a camera with some form of wing on it to self film ?
all of it still looked awesome and a fantastic adventure
True that, adventure is adventure! 🔥🔥🔥
Brilliant 👏
😊🙏🙏
I see nothing bad in reality either, it's all awesome
Very well done. Enjoyed
Yeaaa happy to hear that!! More soon 🔥
Another good one!.
Thanks buddy!!

Sooner or later you end up in all that hihi 😬😬😬🔥🔥🔥 That’s paragliding I guess haha :))) 😍🦅
Super nice edit
Thank you!! 😍🙏 More soon!!
Very nice video!!!
Thank you soo much!!
Love it!!! 😁😁😁
Thanks Stefan!! More soon 😍
After couple of serious asymmetric collapses and several turbulence, I was more of scared than having fun. I am flying but the fun part is missing most of the time.
Brilliant 👍
Thanks buddy!! 🙏
Again a cool video as always :) Nice that u show it isnt always sunshine and lolipops :)
Btw, a friend of mine will start to learn Parapente because of all the videos I show him of you flying everywhere ;-)
Keep posting my friend. Love it! even tho i'm scared as f*ck from heights
Thank you soo much Nick!!
Ha that’s epic to hear, wish him all the best on his flying journey it’s epic :))
Lots of cool project to come this year, super excited to share it with you. Thanks for support buddy!
Btw, I am scared of heights too, but when paragliding... it just fades away 🤩
What it missing: hours of waiting for the start with faint hope that the wind will change
😂👌 Gotta make part 2 haha
Without even watching this video, as a former hang glider pilot, I can guess the 2 main bitches: weather.., and finding friends willing to follow you once you start going cross country. IF you're not going XC, it get's boring pretty quick. Landing off airport, with a big tired bush plane, is what I do now, the best thing being I don't have to round up a crew every time i want to fly.
Haha ohh yeah weather is the BIG deal here 😂👌👌👌 Pretty good that we have many different options of things to do when it’s flyable 🤩🔥
if you live anywhere near an ocean i think ridge soaring is the most fun to be had. down near the ground just skimming along and surfing the lift
@@saleplains When I said it gets boring "pretty quick", I meant after a few years! I flew HG for 5 years.
great content 👍🏽, so related to most paragliders 😆
Thank you soo much 🙏🙏 Haha that’s what we do 😁☀️
😍👌👏👏👏👏 Fantastico!!!

Adventure calls 😍
Ohh yeahh 🤩🔥👌
hey i recommend u south of spain ! Matalascañas and Algodonales :)
You doing good video bro
Thank you Rico 🤩🙏
Does anyone know the classical song that was in the background? Beautiful music!
Hey Jonathan music is “Reborn - Steven Gutheinz”
@@AddictionHappiness Thank you so much! I love having a new composer in my life!!!
the 'ground handling' part helps to relieve the imposter syndrome. btw, how much do you practice ground handling per week/month/year/...?
thanks for the video!
That’s good question.. I never really focused on time but when I started with paragliding and making my own wings.. I probably spent few hours per day every day (unless it was raining) Now over the years I still try to play around as much as possible. I find it super fun to ground handle on little slopes. So if conditions are good I can spend several hours messing around with the wing and wind :))
Happy that you enjoyed the video Vasiliy! More soon :))
So good 😂 I made 2 times paragliding (Tandem) and for me it was like in your reality 🥴 I made a short film too 🎥
Yehaaaa!! That’s soo cool 🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥🔥
Yehaaa 🔥🔥🙏🦅
fun to watch.. 😂
Thanks!!! Glad to hear that 🙌🙌
I live in Beijing, at the foot of the hills. Is it possible to find a spot where I can take off even if its elevation over see level is, say, 100meters or less?
Hey, sure it is possible to take off and fly from low spots like 100m or even less.. you can find low hill flying video on this channel 🔥
Paragliding ... or as we call it - Parawaiting (for good weather)
Hahah yeah parawaiting it is 🤣👌🙏🦅🔥
4:00 That have been me whole winter in south sweden :(
Ha..ha...Epic!!!
Yehaaaa 🔥🔥
Kkkkkkk so funny!!! Tks dude
Wohoo happy that you enjoyed 🤩🔥
Is this one of these hobbys I'm to peasant for to not even know how to start it?
You can find everything about it on this channel :)))
Soo true .. 😄
Hahah yeaaa 😅
I prefer to live in reality, keeps me humble.
🔥🔥
We don't get high we stay high, paramotors allow life to be fully lived
To stay high!! 🥂 🍻 🔥🔥
so... try kiteboarding.. or even bether snowkiting and fly down the mountains like a speedwing ;)
Ohh yeah I am from kiting background 😍 it’s epic! To be honest I am missing it a little bit.. :))
Hi. Isn't it dangerous to fly over or inside the clouds?
I never flown those wings, but I assume it is scary not EXACTLY to know what is below the cloudlayer. trees? power lines? maybe a plane? But I never flown them so no experience here :)
Hey 👋 Yes it can be very dangerous to fly above or inside clouds.. actually even illegal. It’s only good when you can see around or through clouds and you know area very well (also it must be legal)... like you said lots of things can go wrong, terrain, power lines, planes... you wanna avoid that at all costs.
However it is possible to do it safely (fly around the clouds) if you consider all the things mentioned above ☀️ I have Q&A video about clouds on this channel, check it out :))
every cloud is lined with a silver mountain
😂. Perfekt Abo ist raus 👍
Does anybody know the place where the guy at 2:35 is flying?
It’s around mountain called Begunjscica in Slovenia 🔥
@@AddictionHappiness thanks^^
Bad-Assery has to be earned somehow. Lately, I see a ton of people NOT going the extra mile. If you ask me you have to physically and emotionally invest for massive returns. Didn't have found anything better in life yet.
Going that extra mile makes huge difference, I couldn’t agree more with you! 👌 Lets gooo 🦅🦅🦅
SOOOOO TRUE! 🤣
Haha lets gooo 🔥 More tomorrow!!
👍👍👍👍
🙏
I also want to be paraglider.
What's about it .
Please 🙏
Follow your dream! You can watch a lot of paragliding content on this channel 🔥
