I am still amazed of how much psychology is in this sport/passion. I started paragliding in 2011 and for 10 years could not go out of beginner level. At some point realized that fear is a limiting factor. Changed gear to safer one, approached fear in more systematic way and really start flying. This year get a great weather one day, 2000m above the ground, 50+ km FAI. Fantastic flight, views, satisfaction. I'am in love again!

This is so important. The human condition has this strange thing, that we can soar for 20 minutes above beautiful landscape on a sunny day, land safely and all we feel is frustration over bombing out. Been there, done that many times myself. It helps appreciating what we can actually do, even when the results don't line up with the ambitions. I also often think back to one of the most beautiful moments of my life: The first proper mountain flight, a 10 minute sledder through calm air, landing with tears of joy.

Thank you 🙏

Joanna, the best meet director!:)

Nice video. Thx for the reminder. Been flying since 1997 . On and off a few times due to kids and family stuff. I must say that I totally agree with your assumption. Paragliding is just an amazing and beautiful way to experience nature at its best. I hate when people think we do this for the sake of an adrenaline kick. If they only knew what we know! :)

Always inspiring Joanna. Thanks for your nice work

Perfectly timed video for me! Haven't been flying much since January as life and other hobbies have taken over and was starting to fall out of love. I had a short 30m flight yesterday and felt a little rusty but also reminded me how great if can feel when you're flying more and are more in tune with your wing. Hope to get out more this summer and get back into the flow! Hope you're also feeling back in love with it, sorry to hear that you were feeling low but I guess these ebbs and flows are all a part of it
