First time Paragliding Oludeniz 6000 Feet

Turkey offers an amazing place for gliding in the Babadag mountain, This was my first time and I continued to fly each day. Paragliding in the sun wearing shorts and T shirt was amazing but I still look forward to getting home and continuing with the Paramotor wearing a coat and gloves :)
Cable car price, 40 plus 90 lira. Approx £7 (June 2022)

Well done! Great to share these...such funny in flight comments!

[@wailalenizi]

Come on man! You seems to know what you're doing! Nice take off and nicer landing! Wish you many safe flights!

[@FlyGuyUK.]

I had an idea like, Flying Paramotor helped

[@Robbo1966]

Great video, just started following your paramotor vlogs, now your paragliding in Oludeniz, great stuff!

[@FlyGuyUK.]

Cheers dude, Hopefully many more to come

[@knight2jedi]

That was a graceful landing, just like Superman fair play 👍

[@SkywalkerPaul]

Great flight 💯

[@FlyGuyUK.]

Thanks you

[@eaglevp]

Just come back from Oludeniz loved watching your flight thanks for sharing

[@FlyGuyUK.]

Nice one matey

[@johnfargher1]

Scary, I'm glad you survived, you are getting away with it for now, get some professional instruction bro.

[@sandrainthesky1011]

That was just like being there with you! I felt what you felt. What an amazing first free flight jeez Oludeniz! Thanks for being so candid, I will be there in October for an SIV and going to fly me ars off while there. Cheers!

[@FlyGuyUK.]

Thanks for the comments, I think you will love the place. I totalled 4 flights and they get better each time. Good luck on the SIV

[@mahammedalqrashi]

Awesome. Also, I will be there on October 11th. This will be the first time I visit Oludeniz. I would like to ask you about this take-off, is it easy or a Difficult? Other questions about SIV, how much will cost it? Thank you so much.

[@Mmarash]

Super flight !

[@learningtostream3919]

Beautiful

[@ChrisJewell7333]

Nice launch with camera in hand, what a stunning area to fly

[@louisschoon903]

yes mate! the same thing happened to me - i fly paramotors and i went and flew off babadag - was pretty scared. Well done mate

[@leehol6904]

Did this in August this year after bottling it last year. Tandom from the top 2000m. The most petrifying amazing thing I've done. Would love to do it again. Maybe one day on own. Ace vid mate.

[@john1raf]

Done this last week with a pilot fantastic cost £120 Very brave going on your own good on you Lad 💪👍

[@FlyGuyUK.]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@nige6327]

What a great place. All i kept looking at was that line twist or whatever it was on your left control line. Beautiful flight.

[@vilhelmschmit9300]

Ya, I had to look this up. It's called a 2D steering system. The green line brakes the tips and the orange brakes more inboard, but they are connected. They give examples of different steering techniques in their manual, like pushing your arms out and down. Seems rather convoluted to me but whatever. It looks like the toggle got flipped thru the inboard brake line. Odd he never saw it, but I guess he was brain loaded to the max.

[@FlyGuyUK.]

Happens every flight, it's just a slack line on the tip steer.. No biggie

[@Kamranraxa72]

Nice video👍. The place is very beautiful where you flying

[@kevinberry5793]

Sweet!

[@vytautasklaipeda6235]

Great video.. can you tell me what wing did you used? Looks safe..

[@BenFromMelton]

Yes just seen this DJ Chris Henry hardcore ledge... I'm doing a tandem there when I go on holiday next may 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@jerelevii]

Hi mate, nice video :) is En a Wing? how many hour flight you hade when you did this? Thank

[@99problemsbutafishaintone35]

Awesome

[@indowegianstory8015]

I would not recommend letting go of your brakes like that right after takeoff, in an unfamiliar new flying site. Specially babadag!

[@ianpercival8517]

Done this in July this year in oludeniz, brilliant experience

[@lillekenatnek195]

Was it your first time? Was it scary? I am thinking of trying it out aswell on the same location.

[@paraglidingjena]

Hi, quick question, does your left brake look a little tangled? At 07:00 it looks that way.

[@EdgarBarbosadosSantos]

Amazing flight! what camera is used?

[@philclough]

brilliant!! I'm there in April & doing the same!! yikes.

[@cloudpandarism2627]

5:34min "i am shittin miself" yep...definitely been there. done that too 😅💩

[@norfolkflyingboyz2404]

You didn’t cross your risers on takeoff. They were under/over each other. Very nice video 😀

[@Parahooners]

Palms sweating the whole way through that! We're heading out there in 11 days for our first SIV... jeeeze. What a stunning looking place though. Thanks for the vid. Great to experience that with you

[@FlyGuyUK.]

Great experience buddy, You will love it. Have a great one, looking forward to the video

[@mahammedalqrashi]

Hello, I will be there on 11 Oct about SIV, how much will cost it( approximate )? Thanks a lot

[@Parahooners]

@@mahammedalqrashi our course was £950

[@mahammedalqrashi]

@@Parahooners thank you for answered. It was too much expensive. I heard that the prices around 700€.

[@Parahooners]

Suspect its possible to get it for that price but we chose to go with freeflight academy. Very highly recommended

[@patrickmckowen2999]

Very nice 👍

[@FlyGuyUK.]

Thank you PM

[@blakewalsh1515]

Loved this video, must of watched it 3 times🤣🤣 is there a part 2 or what

[@FlyGuyUK.]

Cheers fella, Lets book it and go back for part 2

[@blakewalsh1515]

@@FlyGuyUK. once my passports sorted it’s first place I’m going🤟

[@SkidzFPV]

Is that a paramotor wing? Brakes look different, I don’t think any paraglider wings have two lines on each brake toggle.

[@theochalloner]

Nice engine lad

[@gerrymalixi1807]

Thank you for sharing. I’m going to solo fly in OLEDENIZ in October. I have a few questions if you don’t mind: 1) Did you stay in a hotel near the landing zone? I’d like to do that. Any recommendations? 2) what month did you fly? Did you go in October? I hope to hear from you. Thank you very much

[@FlyGuyUK.]

Hi, I was only on a family holiday but escaped for a few hours each day, Luckily the hotel was near the Cablecars but Taxis are cheap. I think it was may/June (I uploaded the video when I was their)

[@r.k.2487]

Most convenient for pilots is the Hotel Belcekiz. You get 4* a.i. Food ist good, service as well, but prices went up this year. For October it's probably outbooked already. October is fine, Air Games are from 19.-23. October this year. Get's pretty crowded then.

[@FlyGuyUK.]

@@r.k.2487 Good to know dude, thank you

[@mahammedalqrashi]

Are you coming alone Mr.Gerry. I already booked the hotel single room, it cost € 237 include to 2 meals for 7 days. You can look it on the Booking it’s name Perdikia Beach. I hope to see you there & we will be fly together.

[@siddharthjhunjhunwala9726]

How much did the paragliding cost?

[@markmcgoveran6811]

I love this video I bought a pair of glider and I'm learning to fly it and I'm still working on the ground handling. With all that ocean there you have a lot of opposite air characteristics. Here in the middle of the continent we have a predictable gradient it's going to be blowing slower on the ground than it is on the top. You need to work on your voice I work on a boat so I have a great big loud booming voice. My motto is I will ram you. And I will I can't fly a paraglider.

[@AlicanKolsuz]

Hello. What is your camera?

[@sduru]

I was there a week ago from this post flying the same way. landing is the scary part for a PG2 like me.

[@FlyGuyUK.]

On my last day a friend said it is easiest to fly along the walkway and turn into wind in the last second... He was right and it made it so easy

[@MySquash1]

How about hands on brakes? Please.

[@joeambrosino1075]

Fantastic, way to go!

[@FlyGuyUK.]

Cheers Joe

[@resqman186]

Just to get things right: You took of without a licence and without instructions??

[@juricacabraja9509]

As a beginner pilot flying 1 year with a school training and licence i can only say good luck to him ( no active flying, no speedbar attaching, no schooling), he is lucky!

[@rostislavdurdak6344]

Hello, can I ask if it is necessary to register in some application before each flight or is it possible to just come and buy a ticket and go fly. does anyone check pilot's licenses there? thanks. for answer

[@bizzybugseverywhere7801]

You need to register your licence on an app to get a launch ticket

[@sinan_akdeniz]

I FLEW with you it was good

[@JaysWorldTravels]

What camera did you use?

[@FlyGuyUK.]

insta 360

[@neilhfrancis1334]

I did this in September 1998 and looking back at my photos things have really changed in 25 years for sure. Great video and I think Scousers are the salt of the Earth, but sorry mate even as a born and bred Brummie with my own accent, I couldn’t understand your dialect. Visuals were great though.

[@madsloper]

ROTFLMAO 😆 I can't believe your first PG flight is in Turkey, you looked stiff as a board and out of your element. Just like a PPG pilot with absolutely no weight shift in any of your turns. Absolutely hilarious brother 😅 You might want to think about hooking up the speed bar system. Cheers!

[@FlyGuyUK.]

I just watched your video's to see how it should be done, found nothing and nearly fell asleep. Speed bar was attached

[@juricacabraja9509]

Well, at least he can SOAR (yea, that is FLYING), u are just a lame embarrassment to real pilots! Go back to school PS. No, your Speed bar is not attached

[@jamesc2631]

The guy done brilliant. Your comment is hilarious brother. A person who likes to try bring others down.......absolute clown.

[@CherWally]

"I am never doing this again!" Yeah, sure...I said the same.. You cannot stop once you first jumped, gives addiction!

[@CherWally]

Lol...just what i said moments ago... "Bits from day 2. When the clouds broke we flew!" ❤

[@FlyGuyUK.]

Correct ;)

[@mjc390]

I'm currently on the beach at Oludinez, you've got to have balls to land here.

[@FlyGuyUK.]

You get used to it.. Enjoy

[@schmohawk_]

You have to have them to lay there at the beach 😅

[@sjgyomrey]

well done... also good idea not putting music on the vid...

[@cabanford]

Defo learn to forward launch in zero wind.

[@AMJB100000000]

100% fk standing there for 20mins for a puff of wind

[@MrKbtor2]

I didn't see a lot of weight shifting

[@jackman1750]

Laughable…. Why do I put myself through this! Lol

[@FlyGuyUK.]

I meant it at the time haha, Loved the next 3 flights tho

[@andrewgridley2693]

You had brake lines all twisted, rather than concentrating on a video you should check your equipment before take off.

[@FlyGuyUK.]

I didn't, Rather than looking for negatives you should and make better video's yourself

[@ThomasDoubting5]

First time I'd be absolutely shitting myself that's far to high although saying that you have plenty time if anything did go wrong to deploy your reserve cute unlike if your 80ft up and the wing folds ...looked like loads of lift.

[@FlyGuyUK.]

Height is ya friend they say, it's the approach to landing that is the dodgy part for me

[@lelle2524]

who filming you? Fake an gay.
