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.

YouTube Video UCLdxnh60DzDlR_AYhF3CzlQ_0zkLNKaH8ug Two quick tips on the rigging of your reserve parachute. These tips make sure that the parachute will come out of your harness, and that it will come out of the bag - and thats pretty damn important. 

The tips are - 1) make sure that the inner container has the smooth side facing towards the pilot. 2) Make sure the parachute cannot be lifted by the lines - adjust the length of the closing loop to ensure that the weight of the parachute will pull the lines out of the inner container closing loop.

Gavin McClurg's new book 'Advanced Paragliding' is full of amazing tips and advice from the world's best pilots. Gavin and I got together to bring you some of these tips! In this video, we're talking about the mental game and meaning behind paragliding. We talk about getting excited and how to contain it, how not to beat yourself up when you bomb out, what sets the best comp pilots in the world apart, and we talk about Cody Mittank and his recent revelations about mindset while racing at the Monarca in Mexico. We also talk about the radically transformational power of paragliding - which is my jam!!! I love this episode, it's my favorite of the entire series. Thanks for watching these, I hope they've helped. Thanks to Gavin and XC Magazine.

Paragliders get tangled. They just do. Knowing how to untangle them quickly can be the difference between launching when its just right, or stressing and fighting and missing the launch window. Sometimes when we try to fix the lines of our paraglider, we just make it worse. 

SO! I made this video to teach you the one trick that you need to know to untangle any paraglider quickly and easily! I hope it helps!
