Welcome to My YouTube channel

My youtube channel is kinda paraglide-centric, but also features philosophy and radical honesty as I bring technical lessons about flying as well as a deep inquiry about the emotional, philosophical and spiritual side of this amazing sport.

There's a kind of paragliding that is more dangerous, less rewarding and much slower. What is this kind of paragliding? I call it COMPARAGLIDING! Comparagliding is where we compare ourselves to other pilots, to the group or to our expectations! Paragliding is already dangerous enough, so we don't need to make it more dangerous by constantly comparing ourselves to everyone else!

The WORST Kind of Paragliding

Paragliding launch mistakes are everywhere, but there is one in particular that I have seen all over the world. From comp pilots to students alike, there is one mistake that seems to happen more often than any other. What is the mistake? NOT MOVING YOUR FEET! To properly launch a paraglider - especially on your first try - you must move your feet! Quickly, accurately, and seemlessly, we need to move our feet to affect the lines that affect the sail that fly us! It seems so obvious, but it is the number one mistake that I've seen! In this episode, I break down what this paragliding launch mistake looks like, I analyze videos of it, I give you the remedy to it, I lay out what kiting drills you can work on to integrate this into your muscle memory so you never make this mistake again!

Paragliding philosophy about the lessons I've learned from paragliding about how to be a man, what it means to be a man and how that relates to being a paragliding pilot. I talk about the reality that being a man and a being a pilot are both ACHIEVED states of being. I talk about how a good pilot has an incredible sensitivity to himself and to external reality, and I talk about how we need to cultivate courage as a way to act on what is most true and best for us and others.

Dr. Annie is back - she's a psychologist and a women's mountain bike coach and today we discuss the differences in socal conditioning in men and women that lead to the different sensitivities surrounding fear, experiences with fear in sport, and ultimately how we learn things differently. We also talk about the utility of single gendered groups for coaching and community, the culture in our sports and the transformational power of scary sports. A great episode, enjoy!

We’re all trying to improve our flying - to be safer, to fly higher, further and longer flights, to have more skills, to do more maneuvers - but paragliding, especially in America, doesn’t have a guidebook on how to progress past getting your P2 rating. We’re taught the basics, and then we’re thrust out of the nest onto our own, and we start paragliding. We’re lucky if someone offers mentorship to us, but that seems to be the exception rather than the rule. So, how do we know where we are in our progression? How do we create a more structured framework that can help us become better, safer pilots? In this episode, I’m gonna tell you how to ACTUALLY GET BETTER AT PARAGLIDING!

How to ACTUALLY GET BETTER AT PARAGLIDING

Paragliding, especially XC flying, is nutritionally demanding. If you're not properly fed, you won't have gas in the tank for the long, exhausting flights. If you bonk in the sky, you won't be making great decisions and it could put you at serious risk of an accident. How you eat on the ground before you launch, what you eat in the sky while you fly, and what you have in your bag so that you have energy to hike out of a deep bomb-out is all super important. I've spent years flying cross country and I have developed a pretty functional routine that keeps me fueled, and hydrated, in the sky. This video shares that routine with you. Everyone is different, so your routine is sure to be different than my own, but hopefully seeing what I eat for paragliding will help you find your own paragliding nutritional plan. Cheers!
