What was your total flight time?

The link shows it as 3:17:24 with an average speed of 22.9 mph for 64 miles. Way faster than walking!

With ground support, this would make backcountry access incredibly quick!

Also, you must have good friends who don't mind VERY long drives to come pick you up.

The music is Hot Like Sauce by Pretty Lights.

I have to add, after watching the whole vid: that was badass!

Wow Dave that was the most amazing story. Once again you are leading the pack. Just a new game! I was in the valley for a couple of weeks in June. Sorry you weren't there. Tom says you have moved to the east side full time. Sounds like it's working out well.

Cheers,

In a lot of places paragliding is only allowed where they say its allowed. I didnt know you could write up a flight plan and go backcountry whereever you want. This sport doesn't look too hard to learn, maybe I will take it up sometime.
