Hi mater. Cloudbase Paragliding Cub Western Australia. York, WA

Thanks for the visit

Hey Tess! Awesome come join our club! Cloudbase Paragliding WA. See you on the hill!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks Rik!

I still cant beleive I havent been towing yet! Next summer I'll come and get some tow training done and join in the fun.

@@1canstuntman the year may not be over yet mate. Let’s do a few times so we’re ready and good to go when the real record days kick in!

Google lights beach Denmark 👍. Very close to Albany and access via 2nd possible.

No I haven’t flown Kalbarri. Summer is definitely the time to fly up that way as the winter westerlies do blow out the sites very quickly.

Anybody who loves Creedence and flies mini wings is cool.

Something tells me that you’ll fly like a boss in your new playground over there in the Philippines!!!! We might not see you this year in Bali but definatly some time soon. Cheers Xavier 👍👍

Hi Steve! I love hearing when someone can take away something from these vids as they are increadibly time consuming to capture and produce. Thank you so much for your positive feed back..... Cant help you with the rug advse mate that was a gift from my mum lol. She'd die if she saw it outside

Nice 👍 The 18 is the perfect allrounder and I still kick myself for selling mine!! Ive just received the brand new Susi4 16 and had the new 2 liner Loco 16 turn up a week later!! The timing is terrible as the flying season is almost over but subscribe and stay tuned as I want to fly and film these epic wings ASAP.

Hi Mark. Its hard to picture your flying site from the breif discription in your question but Ill answer as best I can! You mentioned that you fly from a farm that you ridge soar from so I;m guessing it is hopefully somewhat inland from the coast? This is a good start as catching thermals from coastal site is almost impossible (easy tigers... I said almost lol)... So based on this, you should do your best to ridgesoar until a thermal rolls in and you can establish a good climb out to a height that allows you good options to turn downwind and leave the hill..... This my friend is where you need to fly straight, fly effieciently, minimise use of brakes (rear riser steering is more efficient and reduces drag) until you hit your next source of lift. Now the best way to find the next source can be tackled in 2 different ways.... If you climed high enough to glide for some distance from the hill, you should look at the local clouds and head for any building cumulous clouds which are often tell tales for the thermals that lie below them... they may be above the next ridge line in hilly terrain or perhaps above a plowed field in the flat lands.... If you are not high enough when you leave the hill you should be looking down at the terrain. Look for thermal triggers like the down wind end of a plowed field that maybe lined with trees that will help and heating bubble of air disloge from the ground and climb away.... roads, railway lines, traffic or machinery, buildings and small peaks are all good triggers in releasing thermals from the land. I had limited info to help mate but reach out if this doesnt help. Thanks!

@@1canstuntman yes thanks for that advice it is spot-on. The land here is just kind of wrinkled like a prune. I guess I'm trying to get invited to fly in the better launch zones.(//. It might be a failure. The hills are not very tall here generally. One place I think would be particularly interesting has two Dykes containing a creek. It's about ten metres wide and slopes up a 45 degree angle,spans a giant flat ancient river bottom. I saw Greg hammerton takeoff from flat ground. I thought on a day when the wind was very low,I could get out there and ground handle. Stay for wingspans in front of the dike and just ground handling hope something Plucks you. Do people ever pick up a flat ground without a hill?

Again mate it’s remotely possible but quite unlikely that you’ll have anything come through to that’ll give you the chance to thermal out from a small feature like that. I live in the flattest state of the flattest continent on earth!! This means I need to travel anytime I want to fly. You need to go to where the flying is at mark! Google maps is your freind if there are no “established” or known flying sites in your part of the world. Check for the highest terrain with a good long slope that faces the prevailing wind. This height and wide long slope will give you time to slope soar until the thermals roll through and come up the hill. I tell all my new friends getting into paragliding that the first thing they need to know is “the flying never comes to you…. You need to get to the flying!” Good luck mark and go find that perfect hill! It’s gotta be out there somewhere👍

@@1canstuntman there's one great big hill I know of that had hang glider's taking off, long ago. The school I attend has a winch truck. I get 2000 feet in the air and a great big flat place. My next big challenge is getting a launch and then landing well. I think there are enough hills that a person can accomplish a few foot launches and see if there's a way to catch some lift. I will try things in my area and see if I can get anything to work at all and just keep moving farther away to more promising things. I can probably get a good kilometer the hills around here will have some part that is sloped into the wind. There are a lot of different things within an hour's drive of my house. Something will work.

Hello there! Man I gotta get over that way.... Whats the name of the super high take off with beach landing that everyone posts about???? Awesome

@@1canstuntman Babadag, 1.800 M (Oludeniz)

That’s the one! Oh man that looks like paradise.

@@1canstuntman glad you like it bro :)

uuuuum not you? lol. All good bud thanks all the same

Hi Kendrick. I use a 130 litre airdesign back pack which fits everything you’ve mentioned above plus my camera gear, radio, flight computer and 2 litre camel back. This fits comfortably without having to stress out and zippers etc. hope this helps

That's exactly what I was hoping for, cheers!🤙

Size charts displayed in the video Dan👍

@@1canstuntman thank you for reply. I think I'm stubid, but I don't found a chart where I can see the sizes 😂.. And yes I looked the complete video twice 😂

haha I don't think that at all. The sizing chart comes up on screen at 6m:58s It is the medium harness and the sizing is circled with a yellow highlighter! You'll laugh when you see it and thanks for checking the video out!

@@1canstuntman yeah this size chart for sure. But I'm interessted in the pack size for planing if the delight 4 fits in my backpack😂. For this I need the pack size when the delight 4 is foldet before you put it in to the backpack. This isn't in this chart.. thank you 👍

Not the 16 but I did try it on the 18 after a backpack mix up while packing the car lol.

Great to hear! Thanks Paul....

Hi Paul and thanks for visiting the channel! Good news!.... Its not too late as I am drawing the winner Nov 7th (2 days time). So long as you have subscribed to my channel you are in the draw. You may have not made your subscriptions public so you are not showing up yet, do me a favour and just reply to this message "subscribed" and I'll make sure your name is in the list. You and I fly the same open harness also! I fly the Advance progress 3 as my go to quick flight around the hill harness. If you like the feeling of this split leg harness you love the feeling of the D3. Yes, the D3 has a seat plate though it flies best with it left in. Weight shift authority is dampened without it. I have flown many hours with and without the seat plate fitted and always revert to leaving it in to get the best weight shift authority. You'll find when flying a pod for the first time that they are very different in regards to open harnesses in regards to the effort required to initiate weight shift into and away from a turn. You tend to use your hips alot more and I find pushing off the foot plate helps also. I watched your first cross country video before replying and you look like a great candidate for this harness. Good luck for the draw! Thanks again.

​@@1canstuntman yes have subscribed to your channel. Found the switch to turn off keeping subs private so hopefully you can see it now. Thanks for the tips on the Delight!! Fingers crossed for that draw. And looking forward to more of your videos!!

Your in mate. just about to release a teaser for the draw in 2 days time Good Luck!

Coming up mate👍👍

Hey Sam! You’re in the draw mate! Thanks for the kind words I’m glad you enjoy the channel! Welcome to the clan and thanks so much for the sub! Good luck👍

Thanks so much Julienne! Thanks for stopping by the channel👍

Good observation! Looking back at my video I realise I could’ve said so much more and yes, one of those comments I missed was just how small the d4 packs up. Appreciate your input parajunkie and welcome to the channel. You’re in the draw my friend👍

Hi Orsi. Apologies for not mentioning the actual volume I realise I did miss a few points that after production, I wish I had included. I work around 1000km from my home and have flown back to work so can’t answer this right now. I’m thinking that I might be able to cover some info I missed when I draw the winner early November. Keep and eye out for this video and good luck in the draw. Thankyou and welcome to the channel!

I love that this channel is reaching my African friends all the way from Australia. One of my best xc flying buddies is from Africa so I’d love to send the d3 your way. You are in the draw and Thankyou for subscribing. Fingers crossed👍
