  1. I just did a 1h ground handling session and wow, I am so rusty. Back in the day I was ground handling a few times a month.
    It hurt a bit to catch the mistakes after they had happened. Like, oh, I was too late to react to that.
    The good news is that I know this is all about muscle memory, so I just need to do it another 100 times. Then I'll be able to do it with my eyes closed :)

  2. Ho, ben, bon alors, j'ai rechuté et suis allé visiter le ciel de #Aiguebelette cette fois-ci. Mais comme ça marchait bien là-haut, il y avait aussi le #LacDuBourget depuis la #DentDuChat.

  3. Gandoguro La is not just a pass, it is an adventure pass. Surrounded by silence and extreme cold, its paths make our hearts beat faster and turn our fear into courage. Its experience is so exciting, it makes us fearless and true adventurers forever."

  6. Ich bin mal wieder in Nordjütland, Dänemark. Habe den Wohnwagen wieder für die Saison aufgestellt und war heute mit demnGleitschirm schon mal trainieren. Super Wetter mit Sonne pur bei 8 Grad. Auch bei den Temperaturen bin ich nach dem Training total verschwitzt.

    Hier gehts mir richtig gut, da kommt freude auf.

  7. Ho, zut, je suis encore allé visiter le ciel.
    En Trièves cette fois-ci, splendide !

    Pas mal de nord, fort.
    2640m, je ne pensais pas pouvoir voir #Grenoble de si loin.

  8. The excellent Tom Scott is making videos again and his latest is on paragliding, it’s a really good overview of what it all entails. I’m also somewhat gutted watching it as I’ve not flown in over a year because of my ruptured achille’s tendon which still isn’t strong enough. Can’t wait to get back in the air. #paragliding

  9. Le p'tit réveil qui va bien pour faire une rando-vol avant le taff.
    Ça faisait bien longtemps.

  10. Ça y est, rite de passage effectué flyxc.app/?id=5140874184359936
    Un St Eynard depuis St Hilaire et retour en #parapente.
    Bon, il pleuvait et grelait sur nos tronches durant le vol donc il fallait tenir l'aile mais c'est passé.

  17. This is very specific to (#paragliding) tandem pilots. Do you have the "#DJI #Osmo Action 5 Pro" and you want to import the photos/videos on someone else's #iPhone? Native iPhone Photos app won't see the files. You don't want to install special app on the phone.

    But if you have your own #Android device where you can (pre)install apps, then this might be a solution for you.

  18. @mroach Yup, that's basically the point of my original post.
    - Mainstream folks had no clue who #AlexHonnold was up until #FreeSolo
    - People outside of #paragliding bubble hardly ever heard of #ChriglMaurer
    - Unless you're into awesome trail performances, the name #KílianJornet quite likely does not ring a bell
    - etc.

    The assumption that because something is popular (in my bubble) that people will generally know about it, is quite likely not true.

  19. Zur Entspannung ein #Gleitschirm Foto aus der #Steiermark. Der Kollege hat das #Mürztal entlang Richtung #Stuhleck , #Rax und #Schneealpe gefilmt. Unter ihm sind die #Windräder vom #Windpark #Stanglalm und vom Windpark #Hochpürschtling . Der Schirm in der linken oberen Ecke wurde von mir pilotiert. Die #Wolken waren ungefähr auf 2500 Meter über dem #Meer . War ein echt #schönerTag zum #Paragleiten heuer Ende April.

  20. It's October, the trees are turning yellow, and the "high inversion fog" season has started. Time for a hike&fly!

    We started from Älplibahn Malans, with the destination Falknisspitz. Here's the panorama with the Glegghorn on the left, Falknis in the middle (below the moon) and Vorder Grauspitz on the right.

  21. Ein Himmel voller #Gleitschirme am #Brauneck! 🪂😍 Wie sie da so elegant, aber dicht gedrängt über den bayerischen #Alpen 🏔️ schwebten, sieht es fast wie ein gefährlicher Luftverkehr aus. Dennoch ein inspirierender Anblick! 💫 #Gleitschirmfliegen #Alpen #Abenteuer #Paragliding #travel

  22. Felix Baumgartner, extreme sports pioneer, dies in paragliding accident in Italy

    The Austrian made headlines around the world in October 2012 when he jumped from a balloon 38 kilometres above Earth, becoming the first skydiver to break the sound barrier, typically measured at more than 1,110 kilometres per hour.

    He made the historic jump over Roswell, New Mexico, reaching a peak speed of over 1,343kph.

  24. So fun thing just happened. Last week I signed contract addition to my #SwissLife #3A insurance. I agreed to pay them more money.

    Today I got a letter that told me that "Because you did not disclose to us that you're #paragliding, we're terminating your contract. And you can just start new one with us that will exclude paragliding from insured activities."
