    A New Zealander taught me how to fly PG in 1996. Jackson Wyoming (kiwi Greg) we called him.

    Yewwwwww that's so sick! Great to have an example of nose down take off too, I'll have to give that a try down the park sometime!!

    Nice video. I love the cobra nose down launch. You executed that perfectly! Also your accent is cool, I have not heard this mix before. Best of luck in future endeavours. Cheers Jerry✌️🇨🇦

    Sick! Hoping to climb Mt Cook in December, although as I can’t paraglide we’ll just have to get back down the traditional way. I guess from a certain perspective you could consider para-alpinism cuts out some risk in the descent, in that you aren’t descending back through the gunbarrels as the conditions warm up. That takeoff looks outrageous though!!

      Yeah! Absolutely!! We landed at the Tasman carpark by 10:30am!! Even saved the heli back!! Unreal!!

    This is lid af! Dude, we are coming to NZ this November for the entire month or perhaps even longer. You've got to introduce all the best launch sites by then.

    nice.could you get back if you had a speedflying wing that would be safer to launch?perhaps that wouldnt give you time to spot other routes

    • @davidchen3681
      @davidchen3681  Рік тому

      I would not use my speedwing on that launch!! Too much risk when you have crampon on !!

    What size Run and Fly is that and what is your total flying weight ?

    climbers were the ones that created paragliding only to avoid the repel.

  • @tdawg713
    @tdawg713 Рік тому

    Prolly safer to fly that do the descent on more than a few peaks.

    • @davidchen3681
      @davidchen3681  Рік тому

      Definitely safer than walk down pass the gun barrel

    0:13 - You think its a Intro-Worthy Snipped that shows you harrassing some Sheep? Thats why no one likes Speedflyers!
