Thanks for the shoutout Jason. Would have loved to have bought you a coffee and picked your brain for a bit but those dogs just weren’t having any of it 😂 Love following your journey. - James.
Good luck with the paragliding course. I had my suspicions about it, and you proved me right by the amount of time spent around Redhead. Paragliding makes so much sense, as the gear doesn't take up as much space as hang gliding gear. My husband Jason is a hang glider pilot and the local site he flies at is Stanwell Park, although he does a lot of aerotowing out at Forbes. Hope it all goes smoothly for you, and we might see you at a site one day 🤟
Oh my gosh i cant wait for your paragliding adventures to begin! It (hangliding, so similar) is on my bucketlist. The headland at the end was beautiful, thankyou for risking your life to get the shots 😆
😂 I felt I owed it to everyone to balance along that ledge 😂 My instructor does hang gliding too. Was supposed to go watch him today, but wind ended up too strong...🙄
Thanks Janette. I've come across a lot of snakes. Most the time you fly past without noticing them. I've seen quite a few cases of people getting them wrapped up in their wheels though....😳
Ahhhh the cat is out of the bag Jason! Less that a minute before the end. I had a gut feeling about what course you're going to do. At first I thought scuba diving, then maybe paragliding - all those cliffs got me thinking. Great video and content. Keep 'em coming. Cheers, Sean.
that pump track looks like lots of fun! You are right, lots of hard work - build up those knees :D The power of the ocean is very humbling. Great footage.
So disappointed Jason, you were all around my home town when I worked the whole weekend ahhh. Normally I would have been out walking at Speers warners or Bunnings on my weekends off. I missed put on running into you.
Another fantastic video, parked up next to you at redhead last night was gonna pop over and say hey and thanks but you looked busy. Anyways stay safe and good luck paragliding
Thanks mate! Sorry for not chatting last night. Yeah, I was flat out all afternoon trying to get that video done. Give me a wave next time you see me 😁
Paragliding, wow , never would have guessed. You’re much braver than me, I really don’t do well with heights 🤣. Good luck with it , I really enjoyed the video, looking forward to seeing more. 😊
Enjoy the course. Protect your spine. It's the bit that really gets a work-out. Your next video will be very interesting. Will you have to look for different night camping spots for the week?
Thanks. The harnesses have big airbags on them to help minimise damage. I have quite a few sleep spots lined up in the area so will rotate around them 👍
One of my 3 guesses, the other 2 were Powered Paragliding and Hang Gliding. I do PPG as I can take off and land from the same spot maybe I'm just lazy and don't want to do all the walking lol. Good luck and I hope you love it.
I was wondering if it was something to do with flight. I'm excited! Love flight of any description. Had my Restricted Pilots when I was 19. Gliders (sailplanes) are my favourite. Only joyflights for me nowadays. Really keen to see what's involved in your course. Enjoy it! The coastline around there is spectacular, love that eagle rock, or grumpy old man face rock, depending on angle 😅 Amazing contours etc. Very pretty around the lake. $1 mill for 500 sqm!!! Crikey alright. Can't wait for next video!!
Thanks Pauline. That's pretty cool that you were flying. I hope I can get some reasonable footage of my lessons, but hard without someone else to film 😁
Thanks and excellent question!😂 The plan is to fit it in next to my bike.... hopefully I can make it work. They actually fold down quite small, but it takes a lot of time to fold them like that..... Back up location is the passenger seat 🤣
Cool to see you in my local area. What a shame I was away when you were so close to home, I could’ve come and said hi. I think those mountain bike trails are in the bush where the walking trails are, it’s good to see some bush is still left after the housing went in. What a great idea to sleep in the new estate where it’s quiet! I love that Bunnings, I go there all the time. Loved the walk at redhead, it looks like quite an adventure. I’m looking forward to seeing the footage of your paragliding today. I had a feeling it was something like that you were doing. I bet that’s an epic experience! Are you still around my area? I’ll come say hello if you are.
Yeah, there's quite a lot of bush up over the hill in Teralba. I think a lot is part of a quarry, but the fences aren't very good...😂 My course is around the coast so will be moving around a lot over the next week, but still in the general area ☺️
A Jason I think that’s your name it’s Joseph from teralba great to see you around my area still and great video don’t know if you been to sugarloaf mountain you should go you will enjoy it when you are at speers point look for two telecommunication towers that’s your destination cheers mate thanks
Thanks Joseph. I was thinking about you as I was riding through Teralba 😁 I still need to go and have a look at Sugarloaf. Hopefully get up there soon.👍
Hi Jason, maybe a thought for the fridge. ? The in between the fridge n freezer. Maybe make a bracket to fit in the gap to secure to the fridge, extended out, with a flat piece to hold a dowel or? To secure both sides while travelling. Just a idea
Not a bad idea. Since the doors are reversible, there's even bolt holes there. I really need something self latching though as I will forget to manually do it. Excellent thought starter though! I hadn't even though about using those bolt holes. That could work really well. Thanks!😁
Another enjoyable video. I suggest you include fishing in you video titles to capture a larger audience, many people dream of fishing when they get free time.
With the Teralba MTB trail, did you enter it via Caravel St? I'd like to try it. It looks like it has some good set of tracks in it. Thanks for sharing. Good luck on your paragliding course. I once dated a girl that was into paragliding. And we'll occasionally go to Manilla NSW where she goes paragliding (where she learnt how to paraglide). But most of the time she does paragliding from Stanwell Tops.
Yes, Caravel st....and keep turning left 😂 there was only a few spots where left turns went off track, but it was obvious. It's a good ride out there. I was tossing up where to do the paragliding course. Stanwell Tops was one option, also Vietnam....not sure Newcastle has the best flying sites, but it ended up working into my current plans 😁
@@MakingStuffGoingPlaces driving by, I work in Caves beach every Tuesday and Wednesday and spotted you as I drive past. I am 6th gen Novocastrian and family live at Blacksmiths. Enjoy your time in the best place in the world!
I must have driven past you last Saturday at Warners Bay, saw all the food truck, etc and wondered what was happening, did not see any speed boats though, ... seems a bit extreme to learn parra-gliding, wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy a drone to get aerial shots 🤣🤣🤣, stay safe, cheers, Garry
Because "stealth" is a myth, in my opinion. My approach is just not annoying people. If people see a van, they know someone is in it, particularly one as big as mine. Unless I consistently park in commercial areas, then I'm never going to blend in. And actually, at night, the dark blue disappears. White vans stick out way more, so not as bad as you think ☺️

Great video. Good luck with your course, very exciting.

Thanks Helen. Hopefully the weather cooperates 😂
Great video I look forward to them. I worry about you on the bike if a snake is on the path but you seem to react quickly.
Thanks Janette. I've come across a lot of snakes. Most the time you fly past without noticing them. I've seen quite a few cases of people getting them wrapped up in their wheels though....😳

😂 nice! Yeah, now I can not only get close to the edge but also jump off 😁
Good luck on your course. Can not wait for your next video
Thanks. Hope I can get some good footage.
that pump track looks like lots of fun! You are right, lots of hard work - build up those knees :D
The power of the ocean is very humbling. Great footage.
Thanks mate☺️
Probably one of the best pump tracks I've been on. I like the 3 corners on the end...feels fast!
Good luck with the course, I wish you well
Thanks Leith ☺️
Doh given your location I was thinking Belmont skydive 😂
😂 close! I almost went skydiving when I was in Singleton, but decided to save the money for paragliding.
So disappointed Jason, you were all around my home town when I worked the whole weekend ahhh.
Normally I would have been out walking at Speers warners or Bunnings on my weekends off. I missed put on running into you.
😂 plenty more chances, Leigh. I'll be loitering for a bit longer 😁

Yeah, a fear of heights wouldn't be helpful 😁
The paragliding videos will be a lot of fun! Keen to see it
Thanks Kurt. The challenge will be getting good angles....need a drone pilot to follow me 🤔😁
@@MakingStuffGoingPlaces if only we knew one 🙄

Yeah, not looking forward to hiking up hills carrying all the gear, but not enough room in the van for a motor 😂

@paulineh4019 certainly will be at first!😁
Another great Vid mate - looks like you have the Central Coast pretty taped.
Thanks Ben. There's no doubt still things to find around here 😁
I guessed Sky diving, close! Good luck with it Jason.
Very close! Just a slightly bigger parachute. Thanks Michael 😁
Paragliding!!
How ExciteMONT 😉
Stay safe and enjoy the experience.
PS, if you end up buying one, where the HECK are you going to store it?! 😊
Thanks and excellent question!😂

@@MakingStuffGoingPlaces I’ll keep an eye out for you. How was the first day? Thrilling I bet!
@sallyb1433 today was all just practicing control on the ground. But really good!😁
There was a kombi festival at Old Bar on the long weekend so great to see so many
That would have been cool!😁
A Jason I think that’s your name it’s Joseph from teralba great to see you around my area still and great video don’t know if you been to sugarloaf mountain you should go you will enjoy it when you are at speers point look for two telecommunication towers that’s your destination cheers mate thanks

I still need to go and have a look at Sugarloaf. Hopefully get up there soon.👍
Good luck with the course mate ..c u next time......Scotty
Thank you. So far so good...at least day 1 anyway 😂
Yeah I seen you on Saturday recording the power boats. I rode past on the bike path on my bike. The van looks mint. 👍
Thanks!☺️
You should have said hello 😁
there is always one more corner around the next corner. 😁
😂 absolutely!
Shock and horror! Narrow ledges are one thing, but paragliding? You're a braver man than I, Gunga Din! 😄
😂 I'm too scared to jump high on my bike, so maybe flying will help get over that 😁

Hay Jason Joseph if you give me a heads up when you might be near teralba again see if I can catch up all the best mate 😊

How did your fridge door mechanism work? Great video!
So far so good. It will work fine as long as it stays stuck and doesn't fatigue like the last one.
👍 mmmmm, paragliding.
Going to be a lot of fun!😁
@@MakingStuffGoingPlaces Like FPV!
👍 just slower and with less flips!
Did I see you at the airport this morning Jason???
😂 yep. Were you driving past or jumping out of a plane?

@princessleah9092 thanks. I love it here!😁
You are 2 mins from my house at Warners Bay.
Nice! Always amazes me how many subscribers live in this area.😁

😂 yeah...for what this is costing, I could have a fleet of drones!
just a quick question but if you are into stealth camping and being discrete why choose a bright blue van?
Because "stealth" is a myth, in my opinion. My approach is just not annoying people. If people see a van, they know someone is in it, particularly one as big as mine. Unless I consistently park in commercial areas, then I'm never going to blend in.
