What an awesome channel :). Best XC videos on RUclips. Your flights are great. And your commentary, knowledge and video editing are bang on. Really wish I had been into paragliding while I lived in QT... Keep up the very good work :)
Love your videos Ben. X-alps talks were fun 😅 hope to catch up with you boys when I visit south in a couple of months. Keep posting more awesome content 👍
No footage of an actual landing in Queenstown? 🙃🙃🙃 Absolutely awesome videos and commentary almost feel like I can put these flights into my logbook! Thank you!
Haha, it’s a tricky one at the best of times. Wouldn’t recommend for first attempts at XC, plenty of easier/less committing flights to be had from TC or Roy’s.

Brilliant Benjamin! Paragliding is indeed an activity that requires wisdom, skills and a wide range of knowledge. I do admire paraglider’s courage and spirit of taking challenges. I am also curious about the beeping sounds. What does the beeping indicate to you? What map do you use to get familiar with the route? Thanks.
Thanks very much! The beeping is a Variometer, it has a barometer in it which measures air pressure changes. Basically it beeps when you go up, the tone and frequency varies depending on the rate of climb. This really helps us find the best lift! The maps I study mostly before I fly so I already know where to go, I use Google Earth and topographic maps together.
Thx for the Video, the graphics made it so easy to understand whats you explaining.
Sweet! Cheers!
