CALM - About Fear and Flying | Paraglider Short Film

[@nedo68]

nice video, as long as you are not responsible for anything enjoy it. I flew from 2003 to 2012, broke my leg once, but now with a family, kids, i think it's no longer responsible to fly, unless i was making money from it. Paragliding is a nice experience.

[@parafamflying]

Very nice video! I have had a very similar experience. I was sooo afraid in the beginning. Made 300 sloperides before I stepped up the mountain. 7 years in now and still afraid of heights, but not as much in the air anymore. You should let your girlfriend try and see if it's for her. Now my whole family is flying and we enjoy it so much. Keep on flying and be safe! 😁👍❤️

[@Dozsa-Gyorgy]

Thank you! I let her try but she doesn’t want to 😀

[@malek4209]

Super cool video ! 😍🤙🏼 i had my first paragliding lesson 2 days ago and yesterday after 1 hour of groundhandling already my first solo flight from 200 meters, it was super scary, because i never ever flew before, not even tandem 🙈 But after a minute i realized, the more i relax and trust, the easier it get's 😊 And as you said " trust the gear and your skills " 🪂🙏

[@visiongrouplive4384]

Awesome video! Great production, flying and everything else! Also shout out to your girlfriend for being so supportive of you and your passion.

[@Beiunsshepherds]

Thanks a lot :)

[@Dozsa-Gyorgy]

Thanks in her name too 😉

[@swisstravel6353]

Nice wing. Cool soaring

[@Dozsa-Gyorgy]

Thanks, thanks 😉

[@SkidzFPV]

Cool video. I started paragliding 4 years ago not thinking I had a fear of heights, until that first high flight, then I realized I did have a fear of heights but that is just a natural human fear. In time after learning to trust the gear and my own skills I learned that the ground is the only thing that can hurt me so staying as far away from it as possible is the best thing. I fly in the mountains, we usually spend a large portion of our flight 2,000’-3,000’ above the ground, or even higher if the thermals are good and now I love having as much altitude as I can get. Only thing that scares me is when I hear an airplane or helicopter but I can’t see it, that’s a little scary, I just hope that they are paying attention and that they see me.

[@Beiunsshepherds]

Thanks for sharing your story! I love your perspective on height and can totally relate to the noises of aircrafts causing a little panic 😅 take care 🙏🏼

[@MrDampsterdam]

This resonated with me. I have a fascination with flying (aircraft and paragliders). My aversion for heights is still there - most times. I have learned now to suppress it. Hats off to you

[@Beiunsshepherds]

Hey! While creating this film, we were cliffjumping once in a while and boy, it was crazy standing there and looking down. However, we took the time to really feel what this fear feels like. Without intending to jump. Just stand there and actually watch the fear while trying to relax. It helped a lot also for me (Oliver) to be more comfortable with the height. In essence, it should be more about getting used to and feel it instead of surpressing. Does that make any sense to you? 😅

[@Dozsa-Gyorgy]

Thank you! So nice to read this. I can imagine it’s the two sides of the same thing. I mean maybe the fascination is there because of the aversion. But what is sure you can always choose which one you want to listen to. 😉

[@Dozsa-Gyorgy]

@@BeiunsshepherdsYeah and standing on the edge of the cliff over the water was so much more intense for me than standing on a 10 times higher cliff with the wing above me

[@cmdrpepelluce5375]

currently saving money for a paraglider. Thank you for your story

[@DarioushAryan]

Awesome… Good storytelling, love the different camera angles, the image processing... everything is perfect! Hope to see more and more.f

[@Beiunsshepherds]

Thanks man 🙏🏼 it was a big project for us but we also hope to do more of this because we love it so much 😁✌🏻

[@robertomirelman6295]

Nice video. I would strongly recommend to wear some proper boots, specially in the type of terrain you are dealing with. I know the area of your videos, and although it is hot, I would be wearing long trousers and long sleeves too: terrain like to bite your skin. Safe landings! (A pinch of envy from a bad weather season here in Scotland, while I wait for a flyable window to arrive.)

[@parafamflying]

Good tip! We always use boots, whatever the temp or weather.

[@irendozsa1427]

Estoy muy emocionada 😍

Same here :)

[@frankgallagher5786]

Im an old retired airline pilot. My son is an active and very good para pilot. I'd love to share this sport with him. Im reluctant, my nature. Don't want an injury.

[@Beiunsshepherds]

Maybe you can still have some fun together with groundhandling. Otherwise I am sure you can share other beautiful things ✌🏻

[@francisexbrayat1458]

Like an airplane, if done correctly with appropriate training in the right conditions, paragliding is quite safe. Of course, you're more at risk of an accident than if you stay at home, but also more at risk of having less fun memories. Many pilots in my club are over 60, I think you should at least try it (with a school) and see for yourself.

[@frankgallagher5786]

@@francisexbrayat1458 appreciate the comment thks.

[@WyndhamPGP]

I'm 62, got my hang gliding license in 2015 and paragliding license in 2021. Go for it, it is amazing. Suggestion, once you've trained, buy yourself an EN-A wing and stick at this level. Eg, Ozone Alta. Modern EN-As have plenty of performance, more than enough to have a total blast, truly. Go for it. Ask your son's opinion about my advice 👍 Go for and enjoy bro.

[@frankgallagher5786]

@@WyndhamPGP Thank you , i appreciate your reply.

[@florianengelhardt8211]

great job of cineography and a beautiful story of you two living together. dont worry me as an active paragliding pilot, i also get excited when the thermals give me some extra height on strong days. keep the good work coming. and always happy landigs 🙂

[@Beiunsshepherds]

Wow thank you! It means a lot to us. It is our first movie so if people gift us this kind of feedback, we are so proud! Take care 🙏🏼✌🏻

[@Dozsa-Gyorgy]

Thank you! 😉

[@Eymos_Shenanigans]

Great story my brother. I really enjoyed watching. I’m trying to learn too. But I love heights. 😊

[@Dozsa-Gyorgy]

Thanks! I love the height now also 😉

[@Eymos_Shenanigans]

@@Dozsa-Gyorgy oh great.!! No more fear of heights. That’s awesome.!! 👏🏻. I’m at a launch site now in Flagstaff Arizona. Sheba Crater. Super amazing here.!

[@stefantrenkwalder6782]

Beautiful shots. Thanks for sharing your story and your passion it really makes me want to go fly too right now. Stay safe

[@Beiunsshepherds]

Happy to inspire 🙏🏼❤️

[@anthonyleslie1643]

Beautifully shot video. When I skydive I love when my canopy deploys and I just take in the views. I always wish I could stay up their longer.

[@Beiunsshepherds]

Thanks man means a lot 🙏🏼 skydiving is one nice thing too but I’ll mess up my pants probably 😅✌🏻

[@paulsmith5360]

Great video. Thanks. My two cents. Ground handling is key. We stand on the shoulders of giants. Ask other pilots, fly with other pilots, learn always. You know what you know, you don't know what you don't know. Fly safe!!

[@Beiunsshepherds]

You‘re completely right! We don’t want to create the impression that you should do it all alone. This is not a „how to start paragliding“ movie though. It is about his journey and fear, so we left out other people as much as we could ❤️

[@Dozsa-Gyorgy]

Yes, i fly now more with other pilots in the montains. Its easier to learn and always more fun 😉

[@jurgenadventuresgroup]

very nice movie, bring back lovely moments 🤩

[@Beiunsshepherds]

Thanks Jürgen! Will we meet in winter? 😁

[@Dozsa-Gyorgy]

I hear a different tone of music when I fly.

[@Beiunsshepherds]

Which is? 😁

[@Dozsa-Gyorgy]

Every flight is a different tone 😉

[@Summitspeedfly]

If you can paraglide, then you don't actually have a fear of heights. However, I have a very real fear of man-buns.

[@Beiunsshepherds]

Thanks for sharing your fears ✌🏻❤️

[@paraworth]

If you don’t have some fear as a paraglider you’re not really aware of what can happen if you screw up. Everyone if they fly long enough will hurt themselves. I’ve been flying 40 years hang glider and para. Professionally and for fun and adventure in more places than I can remember. Both ankles, my back and shoulder broken. Calm is the way even when you crash! Lovely video and great vibe. Ask anyone who’s been in the sport long enough and they will tell you that fear is respect for the awesomeness and freedom of what we do.

[@Summitspeedfly]

@@paraworth - Also 30-ish years on HG, PG, and pretty much everything that flies. I've never flown scared. Fear tells you when NOT to fly.
