We sure live in a great day and age. Paragliding technology is so advanced that we can all take advantage of some really great airtime. And advanced electronic technologies allow us to get a front row seat on the world comp scene, like we're really there! Keep flying and keep innovating. And thanks for posting this stuff!

[@inexplicable01]

how many mid air collidsions happened at this event?

[@Andyg2g]

My jaw dropped at 2:06. Wow! That's incredible!

[@kaioeastwood7133]

I've been dreaming with these scenes while I was sleeping a couple of times in my life.

[@Alejandro-hk9rz]

I´m paraglider too and what a disrespect for their lives. This traffic is insane and you need a safe distance of each other to control unexpected situations like in 3:03 This red paragliding is not undercontrol as an example.

[@FahrulFahrul]

Wow.. great video

[@321192ify]

I've never seen anything like this before. This is just incredible! With sooooooooooooooo many flyers up there how do they keep distance from each other and don't collide with another flyer?

[@entelin]

well as you can see in the video..... they don't, there were literally two collisions in this video.

[@shlyakvitaliy6871]

An ordinary guy ץץםו

[@chrise8442]

Well sometimes they do collide, & sometimes they die.

[@transasiasupersteels5665]

due to carona virus your reference is very good in sky crona is fly in sky.

[@bimalkumarshrestha2833]

You can see a quarter of them in Pokhara, Nepal everyday.

[@kevin_howell]

Pal is an amazing pilot :D

[@ricardosantosolszewski1513]

Saudades !!!

[@breezy0037]

How often do people run into each other where there are so many airborne at the same time?

[@bishnubaruah9983]

So beautiful

[@livelovelaughindia4093]

Red bull .. it gives you wings...Incredible !!

[@sitinursara711]

amazing view

[@fly1956]

Cool! We used to fly gaggles like that (well maybe not quite as many pilots :') ) in the '80s on hang gliders. Yee Haa! Nice video.

[@jjiacobucci]

Could someone identify the music playing throughout the video? I've tried Shazam and SoundHound, both could not identify it. Would love to purchase the track. Very chill! Perfect for the video. Loved the video. I'm a glider pilot who likes to fly the french Alps. Parapents and gliders frequently fly together. Thanks for any suggestions regarding source of soundtrack.

[@anthonyg.4377]

Minuto 3:26 hubo Una plegada y el piloto del parapente abrió el paracaídas!!

[@wenigdabei]

Pal EPIC life ;) You a great pilot ! you got my respect.

[@Rmack137]

[@brianstayton2595]

Is this more dangerous then skydiving because i would like to start doing this. Im a skydiver but i love flying my canopy more then free fall. Its so peaceful. And how is this a competition? How do you win? Blue skies

[@jambojambo313]

Crazy but existing - the aspect ratio on these wings is nuts.

[@zermattflightclub]

Fantastic clip Pál -- thanks for sharing! (was a great 3 weeks in Rold :-) )

[@mhd720]

[@jansport0409]

What are the wooden handles in your risers for? Why do you keep pulling them in flight? I'm not familiar with the avionics of those types of wings.

[@alejofly]

Same questions that i have..... let´s see if somebody will update us!!

[@paltakats]

this is the way to control the glider when flying on the speed-bar (accelerated). It is necessary to keep the wing open in turbulence. We can accelerate from around 40 to 60 km/h. The yellow brake toggles are there for steering, turning in thermals, etc but it cannot be used when flying accelerated. Cheers

[@PaulinTaegu]

Alejandro Núñez These are 2 riser racing paragliders. The front of the wing can collapse and fold under with a very dramatic and sometimes unpredictable recovery. The best way to prevent this is by pulling down and back on the rear risers (those wooden handles on Pal's wing). Top pilots like Pal can sense when the wing is squishing together front to back and about to have a frontal collapse. By properly pulling those handles down and back as needed they keep the tension in the sail and the front airfoil from collapsing.

[@alejofly]

Thanks paltakats and Paulin for your explanation. You know something new everyday!!!

[@d1filmfare1133]

Hello brother how are you

[@davidwashington4282]

man you had the speaker on the whole time ? 🤣🤣🤣

[@hogey74]

Nice dude! Was that a UE boom speaker? I take those things everywhere!

[@tudorrenegade7052]

I don't get how they don't crash into each other.

[@entelin]

lol they do crash into each other... there's literally two collisions in this video. The real answer is that PG's are fairly slow and pretty maneuverable, so you can get away with more than you could on other craft. This kind of proximity is obviously quite dangerous though.

[@phillyboy5773]

I want to learn

[@jimday666]

Do it, don't sit on your lazy sorry ass and watch YT videos.

[@calechips7466]

Do it John Lemon. I said the same thing exactly 1 year ago and now I'm flying paragliders almost every weekend.

[@Sabir_Hussain01]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4ibeXSbmqqYZpo

[@jimday666]

What was the point of the Championships?

[@entelin]

It's cross country race to goal. At the start of the day the weather is analysed, a task (a route with waypoints) is set, and the pilots launch and try to make it to goal, and do so as quickly as possible. Generally tasks are designed such that only 1/3 of the pilots will actually make it to goal on average. Points are given first based on distance, then for pilots that make it to goal by speed, it's a fairly complex formula, the more pilots that make it to goal the less distance points are available, and the more speed points.

[@chrise8442]

+Entelin But what's the point? You didn't answer the question.

[@yamiRic]

because it's a sport I guess...

[@niemvuinhatban1362]

Big likeeeee

[@westsumatrasalidobeach8571]
