Fly-Boy "Paragliding Adventures"

If you you only have a few mins watch from 12:53 for Tajikistan flying, otherwise, grab yourself a cup of tea, sit back and enjoy my short "tongue in cheek" film about the first year of my adventures in paragliding. Including an SIV in Turkey 6:56, Vol Biv Across New Zealand 4:27, finally culminating in an epic adventure across Tajikistan 9:10, with a few crashes along the way 2:46, 5:26!!

Thanks everyone! Appreciate your feedback!

[@airnavig8er]

Awesome adventures! I'm glad you both made it! Your documentary is very motivating and inspiring... I can't wait until the day I learn how to paraglide.

[@mrs1605]

"3:30" best moment ever!

[@samcarr7354]

[@StewartMidwinter]

I flew hang gliders and paragliders for 37 years. That was a great introduction to the sport, thank you

[@markbegg6935]

Hi Stewart, I came across your story in XC mag again recently, sobering! - you are not forgotten

[@StewartMidwinter]

Thanks, Mark, for the kind words. I can't fly solo anymore, but I did get up in a glider once again this year, as I do every year, and had a nice trip out over the glaciers… As a passenger in the backseat, of course.

[@MrPainfulTruth]

Without hyperbole - and i've been on youtube from day 1 - this is among the top 10 of the many thousand videos i've seen here.

[@colinleggett6649]

Kind words!! Thank you!!

[@joelharvey1693]

What a legendary guy! Don't forget to pass those genetics on brother. The world needs more like ya!

[@junuhunuproductions]

I think I got this video recommended like 4 times in the past! Finally watching it :)

[@kierancampbell3322]

Forgot how good this film is - just watched it again as the perfect antidote to sleet battering off my window here in Scotland! Great story, compellingly told.

[@colinleggett6649]

Thanks mate!

[@thebauci1167]

this video is crazily underrated

[@ntnt8778]

There are a lot of high mountains in Kyrgyzstan. Welcome!

[@정승호-e8p]

It's crazy adventures. It is my dream. I wanna do that someday.

[@dirkbrunner6223]

After just one single year of flying you dared to enter such a challenging adventure? Maximum respect.

[@Koederschlacht]

Whats a awsome dude and what a great was to live your life!

[@BenjaminCussen]

amazing video bro

[@bennohd1]

Top Film. Thank you.

[@WhiteKnightCrypto]

Watched all this again, truly amazing mate! Cheers Whitey!

[@pauljames9527]

Excellent video mate. I was Course Director for EX Winter Warrior in Austria I flew every day in the Alps for years . I really enjoyed the video keep em coming

[@robertmout7240]

Truly one of the best paragliding films I have seen! Such great camerawork and an incredible amount of courage, skills and experience. Thank you for sharing your story!

[@DomesticDave]

Super video. Verbier was my paragliding birth-place too.

[@yedidyamilner-gillers549]

This is incredible while I'm 14 now I hope to get up there soon! I can't say how passionate I am about this while I haven't even flown yet!

[@rileyrichardson5731]

great video man.

[@nimasherpa3545]

What an Epic Adventure. Kudos !

[@manouchka58]

Amazing experience 😄

[@MartijnvanGene]

Wow what a story, what an adventure!

[@airiemerlin123]

Can't believe your pace of progression. Kept it real too. Loved it.

[@ThrashingBuddha]

Brilliant!

[@davewasher5686]

. Very good. Thank you for sharing

[@nicolas-paragliding]

This is awesome! Thank you so much for sharing! I'm 16 years old and I've been flying for about 1 year now. I can totally understand your feelings on your journey! Keep going, always happy landings and take care!

[@johnmcglade6417]

Great journey, well told. Good job. You had some hairy flying!

[@dudli01]

Really fantastic. I am paragliding and climbing myself as well. I have also travelled Tadjikistan. But would not dare to do this. You are right Tadjiks are very friendly but distances are huge between villages. If something goes wrong there is no cellphone reception. Thermals are extremely strong. And on top of that you had almost no experience and probably also did not speak russian. Certainly a high risk undertaking…

[@ibrahim6725]

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing this and also showing my country - Tajikistan 🇹🇯

[@colinleggett6649]

Thank you for having us in Tajikistan!

[@JoarABTheflyingraven]

Such a cool story and video.. and what a steep learning curve..

[@JohnHendos]

Jeez, absolutely incredible, no idea how you fitted your balls into that harness 👏

[@billcallahan9303]

That prior SIV course....great thinking! Enjoyed it all! Thank you & best of life!

[@Rich-cq4gz]

[@jamesthebarman3979]

Awesome film. I wish there was more paragliding content of this quality!
