Decisions define your cross country flight on a paraglider 

Blessed to see views like that!

As a beginner, I enjoy your videos and admire your skills. It takes some guts to fly thru some of that terrain.

Thank you very interesting

Just did my first paragliding XC competition today, and your video just popped up when I landed. I failed the task, but your video pushed my spirits up a little bit. (150km, wow, that's sci-fi for me, but I'll keep working). Thanks

Thumbs up! 🔥Unreal views, favorite starting at 5:00, beautiful! 👀

A few things... 1. I like the style of your videos, good angles, good editing, good description, no stupid music. 2. your flying scares me for you. Not that you are a bad pilot but, like many, you are proximity flying (below the reserve height) when you traverse across ridges and you are doing this in turbulent air. 3. i don't know if you have a crash history but if you do not have crashed consider yourself lucky. I was like you doing XC in forested mountains with "ok" conditions and pushed over ridges so many times that they became "safe" in my mind. You know what happened next. I was crossing a ridge that i had crossed multiple times in decent conditions, 10-12 mph gusts but consistently from 45 degrees from the downhill side. I was at the crux of the crossing about 200 meters up and caught a gust of air coming right on top of me from the hill for some reason when i was already leaning that way. Right tip cravat. I went hands high but stalled and lost over 100 meters of altitude in about 7 seconds. Threw my reserve but it didnt pop enough because i was getting blown into it on the hill side. i pulled my right brake to get at a tree, missed the tree but spun into a bare patch on the steep part of the hill. I landed with my right leg first then my left shoulder, broken scapula, collerbone, and lung collapse, My right knee tore so severely that it broke an artery. I called 911 was told that a helivac was 45 minutes away. I knew something was wrong with my leg blowing up with blood and my heart was arrhythmic. I unclipped out of my harness and literally rolled myself down the slope about a half kilometer to a road that had some traffic. A driver picked me up and took me 10 minutes to clinic where they triaged me until i was stabilized. That was 3 years ago. Only a few months ago have i been able to come back to the point where i can walk normally. My point is that you will crash, either accept that or change your style to accomodate safety first, and by that i mean you will not fly where you do not have an easy get down or reserve. If you cant change your style, its back to option A. I wish you the best.

this is the shit...!! racing along the ridges... ...i want to get to this cloud there.... i find this a very good film - thanks

Great Hochfelln flight.

That's amazing bro. Ty for that. And ty algorithm gods aka ai

Question about the decision at 0:50, you say "enough altitude to cross", which is true, but the valley beyond gave me pause: no landing options until the end of the valley, very gradual slope... With the wind coming from the front, I would have worried about venturi, and wouldn't have counted on ridge lift to absolutely keep me up. What was your train of thought there? You simply knew the ridge lift would carry you through, not a doubt in your mind?

I like your video…but LEASE …PLEASE , please edit out the damn wind nose during the fast fwd ,……sounds like really annoying static !
