    Paragliding is a wonderful sport and since it is not known by the general public, the main goal of this is to change it.
    If this video motivated just one person to learn how to fly, we will be more than happy!

    It looks fun being able to actually fly without being inside of a plane or heli

    I've experienced paragliding already! It is an exciting experience! I wanna try it again!

    Of course, as a fellow paraglider pilot, I enjoyed your video. However, you misspelled Brakes as Breaks. Same sound but a very different meaning. I hope when I am flying that nothing on my glider or harness will ever break! Thanks!

    Oh man, I’ve always had a strong inclination to try paragliding and eventually paramotoring, but I’m absolutely terrified of heights.

    • @solanometreta356

      I‘m afraid of heights too, but while paragliding i have no fear. Maybe you just should try it! :)

      I recommend going and doing a tandem flyt with an instructor there amazing and will look after you , your fears will turn into big smiles and enjoyment once you get airborne , give this ago and then if you still not happy about it you don’t have to fly anymore but I do recommend you try it with an instructor first.

    • @travelogue2023
      @travelogue2023 Před 2 lety +2

      Before, I was afraid of heights. To conquer it I tried paragliding! It was amazing! Try it for your self

    I'm too scary....just think if for some reason there's a mistake on your wing thing....like maybe a couple of strings are so weak that they can snap apart.....I just couldn't do it...lol

    Paragliding was my whole life dream, but in reality, I was always poor and broke, today at 50 years of age, I gave my life to driving semi trucks for a living, now I can afford to finally buy my entire paragliding gear, but I've lost my ability to run or flex my legs and paragliding just went through my life as just that...a dream! 😥

      that exactly explains me to a t. I'm trucking 23 years now. I'm 50 in January. however... I'm paragliding today! future paramotor. I'm still physically able and would absolutely regret it if I lost my chance

    • @barrywebber100
      @barrywebber100 Před rokem

      Have you considered paramotoring with a trike?
      That could be a way around your lack of mobility.
      Best wishes to you for the future.

    Paraglider is 90% of drag and 10% lift...
