    Nice vídeo man. That's is why we love paragliding. Cause we love to fly. And yes. Shit happens. I had an accident a month ago and I lost my wing. But I will fly again in a while. I think the most important thing is try to fly always with other paragliders.

    Awesome video Aljaz I feel it. 😁 When it came to breathtaking landscapes, I had to think of our compulsion to always visit boring airfields that looked the same. And 10 km further would be a wonderful empty meadow with a small river, an old crypt and a small wood next door. But you have to start on the leveled wasteland. 😔

    Without even watching this video, as a former hang glider pilot, I can guess the 2 main bitches: weather.., and finding friends willing to follow you once you start going cross country. IF you're not going XC, it get's boring pretty quick. Landing off airport, with a big tired bush plane, is what I do now, the best thing being I don't have to round up a crew every time i want to fly.

    • @AddictionHappiness
      @AddictionHappiness  2 года назад +2

      That’s good question.. I never really focused on time but when I started with paragliding and making my own wings.. I probably spent few hours per day every day (unless it was raining) Now over the years I still try to play around as much as possible. I find it super fun to ground handle on little slopes. So if conditions are good I can spend several hours messing around with the wing and wind :))

    Hi. Isn't it dangerous to fly over or inside the clouds?
    I never flown those wings, but I assume it is scary not EXACTLY to know what is below the cloudlayer. trees? power lines? maybe a plane? But I never flown them so no experience here :)

    • @AddictionHappiness
      @AddictionHappiness  2 года назад +2

      Hey 👋 Yes it can be very dangerous to fly above or inside clouds.. actually even illegal. It’s only good when you can see around or through clouds and you know area very well (also it must be legal)... like you said lots of things can go wrong, terrain, power lines, planes... you wanna avoid that at all costs.
      However it is possible to do it safely (fly around the clouds) if you consider all the things mentioned above ☀️ I have Q&A video about clouds on this channel, check it out :))
