220km Paragliding Flight in the Swiss Alps

This was a flat triangle flight from Switzerland this year, it's worth mentioning I checked the notams and other local pilots on take off regarding the Sion TMA. It's not always open and you need to check before you fly there.

Battery heated gloves are the way to go. You can keep them on low to medium and you're good for hours. Your wrist warms the battery so it never gets cold. Or you can upgrade to bigger batteries that are stored in an inner jacket pocket.

Oh ! Same day, exact same takeoff than my first 100km beginner flight what was suppose to be just a site discover flight. And today I'm in NZ to try to fly to your home paragliding sites, because your videos inspired me. So great what the life and paragliding can offer to us !

Beautiful footage. Absolutely love your videos. It’s like going on the XC adventures with you. I’m struggling to get over 20 mile triangle’s, so watching these mind blowing 200km + triangles just shows how much I have to look forward to.

Awesome, keep going mate step by step it'll happen

@SkidzFPV 6 ай бұрын

@@BenjaminKellett absolutely. Can’t expect to being flying 100 Km + in your first 100 hours. Some people might, but it also has a lot to do with where you are flying. I live near the western side of the Sierra Nevada mountains in California. It’s quite challenging air in summer, and still very challenging in spring and fall. But learning how to fly XC in this place will make flying XC in other locations very easy, at least that’s what the very experienced pilots that I get to fly with say. Hopefully I’ll finish some tasks next season. I’ve gotten really close to finishing a couple this year, just taking one step at a time, and loving the experience.

Ah thanks mate! Yeah it takes some time, especially with the 360 stuff so just taken me a while to find motivation for it 🤣 been chipping away at this one for a while but finally some awful weather in NZ so had time to punch it out! I'll start the next one now, hopefully it'll be a bit quicker this time haha

That's actually a _really_ good view/like ratio. Even 4% is considered good. If you go looking I doubt you'll find a lot of paragliding videos with better ratios than this, so there's no reason to be offended on Ben's behalf 🙂

I started pg 30 years ago, sure wish we had the kit back then that’s available these days, lol. Don’t pg too much now but fly my ppg on the regular. I’m 60 and still love it.

A beauty once again. Question I have wondered when I saw you made this trip to Europe. Are there confusing moments when switching between southern and northern hemisphere since you're used to N faces in stead of S faces ?

@BenjaminKellett 7 ай бұрын

Yeah a little bit haha, it takes me a couple of days I've been caught out a couple of times whilst in the planning stage, looking at maps etc but otherwise on the day it's fairly intuitive. It's more difficult remembering the correct side of the road to drive on 🤣
