Learning how to Paraglide from Youtube -- Episode 1

I was skydiver and military paratrooper 35 year's ago and now I'm beginner pilot with paragliding instructor it's only safe metod to learn

Smart people save money by buying used equipment (because once you get a few hours under your belt you wilp soon outgrow it, know if the sport is for you, and then invest in the right equipment for you) and put the money to a course instead. I had old gear and ground handled it for literally a couple years, dreaming to fly, but holding off until I did the course. When I did the course I was way ahead of everyone else because of all the kiting id done. You are in no place to give people tips. People should praise you for this. I know plenty of people whove broken backs and or legs who preach "GET A COURSE"...!!!! 🙈

Thanks man! Great vid. Bout to click on part 2 now. This sport looks amazing. I saw flybubble capture a cloud in a bag and now I'm very intrigued

Paragliding is relatively easy to learn the basics but very very hard to master safely. Weather conditions around the flying area must be very carefully assessed, which normally (and should) come from the coach. A lot of accidents (and worse) can and do happen, exacerbated by using some cheaper older gliders (where the rear lines have often shrunk, making the wing less stable).

Delawareeeee, i recognize those towers haha

I am a new learner, just wondering if it is safe to buy wing from eBay or Amazon? I mean if the quality is poor, the seller won’t see you come back for refund, right😂

bro your content is amazing i subbed how do you only have 800 subscribers, im from the uk obviously no lessons now as its winter but you have inspired me

You're completely right.
Thanks a lot

Ha HA HA! Its funny when this EXACTLY happens and the wing doesnt come up but just crashes sideways.

I think you could have much better success if you bought a wing that was trimmed. This wing looks really out of trim that makes kiting difficult even for experienced pilot

what is point of overdub what you say with goddamn f in irritating moozak.? YOYOY ??

Amazing

It is my dream to fly with paragliding. But since it's so expensive, I just watch 😪

thanks for the video. i just bought wing and a pack. i plan on teaching myself as well. i probably will take lessons after i play with a bunch and get good at kiting it. i am stoked.

cool man I think u have nail it even if do get training we still have to master it own self it's only theory weather etc 😀 safe flying 😀

Nice backpeddle on recommending whether to learn from YT and taking no responsibility.

Well Done

You're badass I love it

Well done.❤️❤️

Nice. I’m currently trying to teach myself and it made me laugh when you said how much of a pain in the ass it actually is. Most of your time is just spent putting the harness on and off after having to reset the wing for another go at launching. I’m hopefully going to get myself to a beach sometime this year for some more kiting practise.

I WAS THINKING OF DOING THE EXACT SAME FUCKING THINGS, for the precise reason of not having the resources for both training and glider.

Love it when I have bad ideas that other have had before me. Off to book a lesson. Thanks for making an informative video!

I cringed a bit when i saw the title. But you seemed to take it very seriously with practicing kiting. Regardless, you will at some time need to be certified.

GO TO A PROPER CERTIFIED SCHOOL TO LEARN HOW TO PARAGLIDE.

painful to watch!

Yeah... I might be doing the same thing shortly. It does look like more fun that flying tandem and hanging like huge ballsack between somebody's legs.

Bro I’m right there with ya!! I bought a paramotor wing and I’m at the bunny hop stage and fly bubble is the best!! Thanks for making this video!! Just cause we’re crazy doesn’t mean we’re not smart about it!
Gravity and wind have been my friends for most my life!! Paramotoring is the next step in my evolution 🤙🏼

I'd invest in a boat anchor, if I were you 😉

So bad ass. That tree footage is intense. Love the video!!

any one gyz..send me glider cost

Is that a beginner wing or an advanced wing? I purchased the manual, "Paragliding~A Pilot's Training Manual, The Complete Reference From A-XC." Great book...

I dont know how I feel about this. I just finished my paragliding course and knowing what I know now, there is no way I would have attempted this without a instructor.

Did the same... bought a cheap wing which apparently wasonly used for Ground handling... THEN learnt a loooot on it. Ended up flying it at the ridge/slope... then bought a reserve and started exploring thermals... and THEN bought a vario... ended up cross country that cheap wing lol I still fly it. 💕

Nah I don't need training
(this is my training)

Did you have a reserve while learning?

This video is nit to learn man !!!!

Perfect videooo like and subscribe your channel...

Hey @ Hutz Air you still alive?.... your response is all i need to know if i should continue the path i have found myself here on
