The Impossible Paragliding Launch 

Anyone who hasn’t tried this - it’s not easy to ground handle on a treacherous, self-invented slope with variable winds and rotor-esque launch point. If you think his skills are lacking, you have probably never tried it.

Anyone can fly off a perfectly prepared site. It taskes a true enthusiast to make a new launch site. Love this. Can't tell you how many hours I've spent moving rocks, pulling my glider out of cactus and trees after failed attempts and doing this exact same thing. It is EXHAUSTING! Loved watching this. Thank-you!

I love that you shared all of the failed attempts. I'm amazed you stuck with it. It freaked me out when you finally turned around and I could see the cliff you were about to launch off. Daaang. My palms are sweaty now.

Op clearly misunderstood "this is a nice spot to lunch"

Your bravery exceeds your ground handling skills

While watching the first attempt, I was like - Can he actually pull this off!!? I was rooting for you, right after the first attempt!! :) Cheers for the perseverance & skills!

I relate so much to this as I try a lot of crappy take-offs. There is always something, crappy branches, tall plants, whatever that will get in the lines. Once you fix one side, the other one has a problem. And it is all done, then the wind cycle goes down. Moments of loneliness that are funny afterward...

Holy cow! That was awesome. I had a good laugh at your attempts. I never thought you were going to make it. I would have given up and started walking after 3 or 4 tries. Persistence pays off.

When I stumbled across this video i was like "What are you doing!!" then watching the wing fold frontal and having to climb back up to reset it for launch and your frustration as you could see it fold over made me laugh.... but fair play to you sir -you did it!!!

wonderful feeling to get in the air but too dangerous to do every time. When I hike up it feels like the brain not always following me up.

That was both awesome and crazy at the same time... How about trying a toplanding back at the same spot? :-)

I’ve done that on straight level ground. You are brave! I enjoyed watching! Thank you for sharing!

I knew you'd get it eventually as you seemed bent upon taking off from there 👍 Well, what can I say, it was definitely a very extreme launch mate, Bravo 👍

Hard work pays off. Nicely done sir.

GRATE JOB !!! I fly paramotor but love to be there doing that !!!

Well done!

You've earned all my respect !

This is a very very difficult place to start. . . but really cool done, thanks :)

Absolutely ludicrous launch. I'd be crapping my pants

Wow, awesome, congratulations.

Hats off to you sir for perseverance and determination.

2-Line, the only way! Nice extreme effort!

This amazing launch took place on one of the highest peaks above the tiny village of Phuk Dat! ~8^)

Great launch! Double exciting if you didn't have any spare lines with you!

I absolutely love your emotion at the end, great effort.

Bravo! Perfect start paltz! :)

Lol! That takes titanium “Nik-Naks” to launch from that location. Well done! Subbed!

That was the most fvckin insane stunt I have ever seen!

1000 € take off... the wing is now 5 years older!

You mother...! You did it!!! :-) :-) :-) :-) P.S. I got all sweated on watching you struggle up there! And that mount-pick wasn't a joke at all... ;-)

With this much preparation before start The feeling after takeoff have to be awesome.😎 👏

I have to say, this is one more favorite paragliding videos to date. Glad that it worked out.

Theres a cross up there for a reason.

Love it! Determination:) Brilliant and I know that feeling when you finally get off the edge...perfect!

Crazy - but well done!!

Wow you don't quit, that was hardcore!

This is amazing 👍

Admit it, you actually found the spot in a take-off guide ;) "Best place around that area...plenty of space...beautiful, grassy area...sometimes a little crowd of excited tourists"

I love this video, I came back and watch every time

Große Hochachtung! Verdammt rassiger Startplatz! Beim Sortieren der Leinen bei den scharfkantigen Steinen habe ich mitgelitten, am besten war die pink panther melodie...

Way to persevere man! Well done 👍🏻 That was seriously one of thee craziest launches I’ve ever seen man, huge respect 👊🏼

This made me laugh so much. Glad you got away in the end

Best take off ever! You're a hero !

Barely had the patience to watch let alone do that. Lol. Well done

Incredible what people do nowadays to avoid go down walking after hiking... For the record that's what I call a one live only launch site. Well done.

I can definitely feel the pain in a start like this! If you remember one of my launch video at Csokako... but this is a more difficult place to start. Nice job tho! Teljesen át tudom érezni a fájdalmat egy ilyen startban. Ha emlékszel az egyik Csókakő start videómra. Bár kétség kívül ez a hely bonyolultabb! Szép munka!

Dude, thanks for taking us on your adventure. It's specially more exciting and "white knuckling" to watch because you use, my old school techiques for launching (look for breaks after airborne). I love the view too. Fly high and far.

Congratulations on your perseverance🙂

Incredible patience man, I would’ve launched without the Paraglider if that kept happening to me!

haha, very nice. just be patient and focused ... then it might work out ;-)

great congratulations👍🏻👍🏻

🎉🎉🎉 best take off!!! Maestro!

Nice congratulations to be patient :)

Sick xD. Awesome man ;)

Little and flukey wind and no room to run. Crazy places. Sometimes though the place just needs to be flown!

Balls of steel!

I respect your efforts.

guy, you are the best!!! :))))

Hehehehe, I love it!! Stay safe man!

Nice done dude!!!

Best takeoff ever!

That was nuts. But I like.

Great launch. Top skills 🤙🏻

Awesome...... really great!!!

Wow that's a sketchy peak there! I know how hard rocks are on the lines, best to avoid them if possible ;)

Awesome all that hard work makes the reward so much better!

Clearly not impossible, as he took off! But s bloody difficult take off that's for sure. ;)

I’ve never seen anyone so happy to be jumping off a cliff

freeflight looks awesome

I'm not sure I have that level of dedication and I would be worried about my fabric. But awesome to see the persistence pay off. You wouldn't see me trying that

Next logical step is to land at the same spot

You are crazy man. I loved your video. It ussually happens that when you dont have so many space your lines get stuck in the trees. Please show more videos of the complete flight man.

feels good man :))

Playing with your Life absolutely. This time you win, but not ever will be the same. I think too dangerous to take off in this place, one mistake and you are killed... For good you make a good take off

wow...sehr gutes Durchhaltevermögen :-)

Great effort

Lol.. good job bro.. nice..

Good job 👍

Hat off you boss. You are lion hearted flying man. An Indian viewer.

Crazy but cool!

fly is for who want, not for who can!

Nice launch!👌 Where is it?

One more to the heap of subscribers! I love videos where not everything goes right.

Mad respect! 😎👌

Amazing!

You are the king ! Tu as mérité ce vol ! 😅😂

mad respect!

was it really necesary

Did you find glider damaged? Damaged lines perhaps?

Top starke Leistung ☝✋

What you need is 20 more pilots to launch there at the same time.

maaaaaaaan! :D watching this was probably the best and the most satisfying 5 minutes for me today :D great job!

Serious line torturing 😂 Similar launches have cost me a couple of them each time 😳

wow nice fly and perfect fly 🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍

"improbable" ;P

👍 Funny video. Walking down was obviously not an option.

omfg, i got the same emotions on yours take off, like you did, only I was on couch,.. :) congs

On a steep take off, when the wing keeps sliding down the terrain, you should carry 5 clothes pegs and some string. You can tie the strings to bushes or rocks, adjust the lengths and tie on your pegs. Attach the pegs on the top surface of the leading edge. It will keep your wing open and in the right place until you are ready to launch. It takes 5 minutes to do it.

Just watched 2nd time. Bravo!!
