Early Spring Backcountry Flying Adventure | New Zealand Vol Biv Paragliding
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- This was a trip I did with Brad flying in mid September out the back of Coronet Peak in Queenstown, we packed our over night gear and set off on an adventure. It was quite early in the flying season and there was plenty of snow around making the flying challenging, but incredibly scenic.

Honestly, this is one of the best paragliding channels on yt. Top quality production Benjamin
Ahhh cheers Terry that's awesome!
great two days. Must be nice to camp ridgetop in the middle of nowhere. and such scenic flying.
Radical flying.
😎
Fun soar with these blokes. Especially funny when Ben cracks on his wingman for being slow to pack up.
🤣 He gets it a lot.
That was awesome, thanks for taking me along. 👍👍👍
No problem! Thanks for watching!
AWE-INSPIRING
Also, 0:53 "I'm not even gonna pretend I'm ready" lol
Dude this one is a step up! I couldn’t stop watching! But bummed I missed the start of spring seeing this! so stoked the way you can capture these moments so well. This will be the video I point people to when they ask why I fly! 😮

Wow! Nice one mate! Storytelling and video edit goes next level every time! Thanks for sharing!
Ahhh thanks mate!! 😁
Really cool im learning loads, iv subbed 👌🏻🦅 🇬🇧
Duuuude, that messenger intro is just the sickest idea, as the rst of your edit is! Running full empathy mode by now!
Cheers! I had fun with that one! 🤓
Epic. Jealous AF. I love NZ and the kiwis and damn that mountain scenery is something else. You definitely have a story there for your book of life experiences. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks mate!! Yeah it's a pretty cool spot!
nice!
Thanks!
nice video, great edit :)
Thanks mate!! 😁
Soooo good mate
Thanks!!
XC to arrow was big in my day🤔
Can't thank you enough for sharing Benjamin, absolutely beautiful........ looks an amazing place to fly :)
Smashing itout of the park mate. Eff in awesome. Conflicted this morning, watch the soccer semi final or this. Glad I saved it for the glass of wine after work
Wicked!! Thanks mate!! 😎
I'm back watching reruns. That bloody BK has gone radio silent. We know he is still out there doing it.
Thank you Ben for another Amazing Flying Adventure in an arguably most beautiful place on earth. Brad done good keeping up with you I reckon.... even if he does have a funny accent....
Hahah wouldn’t have been the same without him 😉 flying together is always a team effort. It takes two to tango 😎
That was so good I had to watch it twice, especially the Matuki east branch hyperlapse before the jump - that's what it's all about! Enjoying the little bits of sound design too. Keep smashing it!
Ah legend thanks mate!! 🙌 You’ll have to come back sometime, do it for yourself! 😎
Greeeat 🌬️🪂🪂🏕️🏞️🏔️🔥
Thanks 🙌
Man. This is something. I'm a paraglider, but my area is the Pyrenees. Nice views! I wish you the best of luck in your adventures.
Thanks mate! Same to you!
I would love to come flying in New Zealand. If there is one last travel I could do, that would be this one (thanks for keep using SportsTrackLive for your 3D part)
Thanks mate! Yeah I like it! Taking a bit of getting used to! Cool website 😎
Another cracking adventure Ben 👍🏻👍🏻 I’m thinking of going down the 360 route for 2023 - do you know anything about the X3? And on the 360 footage where you’re talking are you using sound from the Insta or the GoPro? Cheers from a wet and windy Blighty!
Cool! I have the One R, but the One X 3 looks good I'm considering upgrading. I use the gopro + lav mic for audio and I sync it with the 360 footage, however you can also get mic adapters for the insta too, I haven't tried it that way around but I'm sure it'd be much the same.
@@BenjaminKellett Thanks Ben, my son gave me an external mic for Christmas so I've got the adaptor - I'll let you know how it goes if we ever get any flyable weather!
Absolutely amazing video! Keep them coming. On the verge of getting into paragliding myself!
Ben. your making me want to move to NZ!!!!
It’s not a bad spot!
Hermoso esto amigo!!!! Tremendo contenido, el mejor canal de parapente hoy
Nice Benjamin, I would like to fly in New Zealand the landscape is amazing!
It’s an amazing place to fly 😎
EPIC....
😎
I`ve seen all your videos. High quality stuff, and you are continuously improving! My usual playing ground is Norway, but I go abroad. Been to flatland OZ a couple of times. The Southern Alps look far more tempting! Guess I`m a mountain man. If I ever get reborn it has to be in Queenstown!
Awesome!! Yeah it's good here! I love it!!
Guapísimo video de lo mejor que he visto, calidad gráfica buenísima y paisajes increíbles he de decir que la envidia casí me mata, gracias por vuestro trabajo.Felices vuelos.
Dammmmnnnnn what a biv! What a beautiful video man. Inspiring as heck Ben
Thanks mate!! Was good fun this one!
Epic! You got into some great country up there.
Thanks!! Yeah it's pretty stunning up there eh. 😎
Wow! Your videos are amazing and inspiring! Hope to be able to fly in that part of the world some day!
Thanks for sharing your equipment list! Can you tell me the make are the sunglasses?
Thanks mate!! Glad you enjoyed, they’re Julbo Shields
awesome!
Thanks!!
wow! Thank you. What a great video! The cure! Is that mostly ridge lift or thermal lift?
Its all thermal lift, mostly coming from thermals triggered at the snow line
I'm a 72 kiwi living in the Philippines. An hangglider pilot back as far as 1977. In the last 3 years logged 320 hours paragliding.
To old to walkout 12 hours. Maybe a copper ride out.
How I would love to do a flight like that. In the next couple of years my married. Granddaughter might make me a greatgrandfather. So my video would be titled
Great grandfather flys 100 in a paraglider. How many hits would that get?
Hahah awesome!! That sounds pretty viral to me 😎😂
Epic!
❤️
That was so good I watching it several times.
Thank you enough for sharing great experience.
I have plan to NZ Jan 10-20. 2024.
Is it good time for xc flying in there?
Thanks! Yeah mate thats the best time of year!
Love this video. What gloves do Brad use? I’ve been flying with my ski gloves but they are way too big I think. His gloves look warm and not that big?
Not sure to be honest, I can ask. I use Baist gloves though and really like them! I have the trigger mitts that means I still have the index finger to use the B riser toggles. The glove liners are compatible with touch screen as well. There’s a link in the description that gives you a discount if you’re interested! 😁
Will check them out. Thanks.
Simply Superb !
The story, the editing, the cinematography all brilliant.
Sets a high bar for all other paragliding videos.
Should be on Netflix.
If I were to make one tiny suggestion for improvement; add more labels to the locations you're talking aboout to help viewers who don't know the area.
Awesome thanks mate!!
Queenstowns the best
Cool spot eh
s@@BenjaminKellett great spot
Cracking video. Watched one of yours last week with a guy from Yorkshire in. Where abouts is he from? That's my neck of the woods.
Haha cool!! He’s from Sheffield!! He’s actually got his own channel flying hang gliders! Check it out his channel name is Pete Helliwell! @petehelliwell
@@BenjaminKellett Ahhh so he's a deedah then. Thanks I'll check it out.
@@BenjaminKellett I reckon Pete has a spare pair of Pit Vipers if you need to replace your sunnies. ;-)
Fuzzy you little rascal
Great video as usual :) what's the attachment you use for your 360 cam on the riser?
Thanks mate!! It’s a small rig clamp mount, link is in the description 🤓
Yeah, I had no idea there was snow in New Zealand. Does it snow in Australia too?
Yeah they have ski fields as well!
Looks so awesome mate. How do you get into doing this sort of paragliding?
Ahh well after you get your solo licence just takes a bit of experience in thermaling and slope landing! It’s pretty fun!
what wing are you using?
The ZeoliteGT ML
15:05 What? You are wearing shorts up there??? Is the harness that windshieldy?
haha yeah I think I had some thermals on for that one but normally shorts is all good. The harness offers heaps of protection from the wind, then I have the shorts ready for hiking!
@@BenjaminKellett aalright I am getting that for sure.
How do you make the route map? (kmz file on google earth?)
Yeah so its on google earth studio, then I export to after effects and create 3D text inside AE
What gloves are you using ?
Baist Trigger Mitts!! use discount code "BenBAIST" for 10% off baistgloves.com/
Posted 0530?
Yeah finished uploading at 1230 and it needs about 5 hours to process through the checks
So many ads! I give up, would have watched the whole thing...
Yeah thanks for the feed back. It was a bit much eh, it’s a hard one to find a balance, if you check a box UA-cam just does it automatically. The adds give me a tiny amount of income that seems to cover some of the software costs. I have taken half of the adds off this video now, hopefully it’s better! 🙏
@@BenjaminKellett Been to NZ three times and have really enjoyed flying there. So was excited to see your flights. Will give it another shot now.
