Did you know the origin of the famous quote about flying famously misattributed to Leonardo da Vinci has been tracked down to the script of a 1960s documentary about him?

How it started vs how it’s going. When I got the ping from #Strava that I was sixth on this random segment, I thought it should be possible to steal the crown.
Then I saw that it’s being held by nobody else than #ChrigelMaurer himself. The default, assumed winner of each year of #RedBullXAlps, so … 🫠

I've just had a lovely walk on the Malvern Hills. I didn't see any buzzards, peregrines or red kites. I saw a lark, but it was perching rather than ascending. The reason might be that the airspace was somewhat crowded, as the photo and video shows.

I have never seen so many paragliders at once, in 35 years of living here. At one point I counted 40 in the air and 15 on the ground.

🪂 Je regardais les dernières activités de Antoine Girard − aventurier, himalayiste et parapentiste − et je vois que son dernier vol date du 16 juin au Pakistan. Bon ok, il vole souvent dans l'Himalaya.

Mais les données sont folles :

- altitude max. : 6746 m
- 11h32 de temps de vol !
- Et 413 km parcourus, soit 400,5 km en triangle FAI et donc nouveau record du monde !

C'est ouf !

When you first learn #paragliding, you're taught that infinity tumble* is the hardest trick you can do - you will have Completed Paragliding when you do it. As it turns out, it's the entry to acro, and there's many years of satisfying progress to be had there.

I've been practicing tumbling for a couple of years now, but Monday was the first time I did infinity with corrections, fully under my control, and it is the single most fun thing you can do on a glider.

Dear #fediverse and especially the #paragliding community: Is there any use case for 20 year old gear and wing?

When the number of family members went above 3, I somehow didn't manage do make enough flights to maintain my license in Germany. I always wanted to do it again, but a few years ago I found out that there is no way that I could use that wing anymore.

It feels just wrong just to through it away. If you have some ideas, please shoot!

Thanks!

[Boosts welcome!]

Weil ihr das alle macht, hab ich auch #WM eingeschaltet. Aber die spielen auf meinem #FreeTV Sender nur #Fussball in farbigen Trikots. Etwas Abwechslung wie #Snowboard, #Skateboard, #Wingsuit und #Paragliding würde der Veranstaltung gut tun.
