I'm super happy you've been flying again. Willpower/Character for days.
Always inspirational to hear your thoughts on coping and risk mate.
Thanks Nick. I appreciate these philosophical and logistical vids you've done over the last two years. As a person that still has use of my legs, your thoughts on how we all eventually lose abilities of our bodies has made me think about how to take an adventurous but moderate path. I paraglide, ski, climb, etc, but also understand that random shit can take me out. My wife had a head injury commuting to work. She recovered now, but, your point about how there's risk in everything is an interesting one to think about. ... ... There's nothing like flying. Lots of people die flying. Flying is special and has special consequences perhaps because of the same reasons it is so special. Anyways, babbling. Thanks for the update.
the best thing is seeing your smile when you talk about flying😊. I hope you can continue to do everything you like and the hope is always to be able to recover, with new medical knowledge, your full functionality. You are my hero, nice to know your thinking and life things!❤
Great to see your in good spirits. 🎉
"doing my own plumbing to save some money" youre a bloody legend mate. great to see youre getting a wee bit better 🤗 i love your attitude and it reminds me to focus on the things i can do not the things i can't. Keep smiling and being an inspiration.
Love you man. ❤
As always, you crack me up, in a good way, thanks for the update, enjoy the gliding, and keep rolling.
Plumb perfect mate! Thanks for keeping it real. Love what you said about death awaits each of us. Keep living, keep flying and all the very best.

thanks for sharing, youre a legend mate
true happiness from this video. thank you :)
Love your spirit. Thank you for sharing
Not many spirits in this world like yours my friend…! You’re a true inspiration. Even when everything seems against, you have a way of twisting it to a positive thought process.
Hard question because hindsight is a wonderful thing. But do you think you think the risk/experience reward is worth it after your injury…?
Many thanks
Nigel
You ate so inspirational,thank you
Thanks for sharing!❤
You’re v brave.
Good to see you are doing well. Have i missed it or will you be uploading the actual crash footage someday?
I uploaded everything I had, I only ever recorded snippets to save battery and card space. I lost a GoPro but it's unlikely to have any footage just short snippets mostly from the ground
"Pretty basic stuff" but a lot of people forget. If the medical for gliding is a problem, come to the UK. We have an exemption from the requirement to hold a Class 2 and can fly on a Pilot Medical Declaration. You might need a doctor to just say that you're safe to fly but there's certainly no testing whether you can get in the glider... Anyway, sounds like you sorted it.
Thanks heaps. Yes class 2 is sorted now. Australia and England seem on par with the health declaration. A pity microlight legislation / classification is different everywhere
how you get always happy
Mate there's plenty of married guys who don't have much use for sexual function anyway so I wouldn't feel too bad about that part
